The Porta-Bote has unprecedented stability compared to other boats. This is due to the advanced hull design, unique and patented "Flexi-Hull" ® and wide beam (width of the boat). This stability allows the boater to stay dry in a tight turn and also allows you to stand and cast in the boat without fear of capsizing.

Porta-Bote Remains Stable in A Tight Turn

Flexibility is the secret to Porta-Bote's incredible stability! This is the same reason inflatables are more stable than rigid craft. When a strong wave slams against the side of Porta-Bote's "Flexi-Hull"TM, the polypropylene flexes inwards approximately 12%. This immediately dissipates the energy of the wave & actually disperses its force by over 90%. Although any boat can be capsized under certain conditions, It's really harder to capsize one of these craft than a rigid aluminum or fiberglass boat.

How Porta-Bote's Stability Is Achieved

Porta-Bote's superior hull design creates a unique stability. Its patented concave cupped bottom LOCKS onto the water's surface. Yet, it easily "glides" over logs and limbs and keeps you dry. Even in high winds!
