[C320-list] Porta Bote

[Mark Gillingham]

Speakeasy got an 8-ft Port-a-Bote last spring and have been very happy with
her. I can put her together in 15 minutes (and getting faster). It is a
fast and stable boat in the water. We mostly row or use a small electric
trolling motor. She's stored folded strapped to forward stanchions.
Garhauer makes a paddleboard holder that attaches to the outside of two
stanchions that some use for storage.

Speakeasy, #620
