Porta-Bote is so strong and versatile, that it can be put to many uses, and replace many other, more popular boats:

Ranger boats
Porta-Botes can serve as ranger boats:

1.Durability- ranger boats often need to cross rough terrain.
2.Accessibility - ranger boats need to sail on shallow water.
The Porta-Bote's hull is extremely strong and can withstand direct impact with jagged rocks and sharp objects. Porta-Bote needs only 4'' of water to sail!!

Aluminum boats
Porta-Bote is more resistant than an ordinary aluminum boat.
Unlike an aluminum boat, Porta-Bote will not rust, and doesn't require maintenance.
An aluminum boat needs frequent painting. Porta-Bote's paint is embedded within each and every Polypropylene molecule. It will never fade or peel.
Unlike the average aluminum boat, Porta-Bote comes with a 10-year Guaranty on its hull.

Inflatable boats
Porta Bote is much lighter than an inflatable boat.
An inflatable boat needs to be dried well before it is folded, to prevent mildew.
An inflatable boat is susceptible to ruptures.
Fact is, most people who own inflatable boats leave them inflated, because it is too much of a hustle to inflate and deflate them.
Porta-Bote is light, easy to unfold (6 minutes), easy to fold back, doesn't rupture and takes little room in your garage, or on your car's roof.
