Originally I ordered my boat at the show early March of 2014. It was delivered beginning of June, about 2 month late. Sandy apologized number of times almost complaining about how many boats they sold at various shows at the start of the year.
Before I was hard-pressed to find much information or at least active porta-boater, but now things have changed. I will keep updating this blog with links to other porta-bote resources online.
First link goes out to RUDYAKAHALIBU77, who is a new owner like me. He is also an avid fisherman and boater (unlike me), which makes him very valuable in terms of proper rigging of the porta-bote. Keep up the good work and keep posting:
Youtube Video with Scotty Rod Holders which gives you an alternative way to add equipment to the bote. Granted you loose some cup holders :-).
Updated setup by Rudy, worth watching
Second link goes out to Yahoo official Portabote Group. This group is private and supported by Sandy. There is plenty of info there I just wish it was not Yahoo.
iBoats buy CBD products good forums on portabote. Give them a shot if you can’t find an answer. Crazy gentlemen who goes by nick barato2 is an active porta-bote owner on that forum.
Cheap gunnel mount to accept Scotty rod holder
FYI.. the links from RUDYAKAHALIBU77 are all private not view-able.
he moved them to private. too bad was good resource.
i have a12 ft porta Bote but i am looking to find some one that has made a auto roof rack or winch system to slide the Bote on top of a Motor Home
i think for motor home best mount is on the side
Hey ! may I ask u a question. Can porta bote be used to tow a banana tube , I mean does it equipped with towing ring at the transom?
No and i would not recommend, unless you plan on towing it slow.
Congrats! Hope to see some adventures from you as well!
Thanks, I took a year off :-). Was so busy at work so had no time to take the bote out. Now i am back and hope to post some news
Just got my 12 footer delivered today! It’s really great that you started documenting your adventure like this.
Thanks. Hope to add more stories this year
