Attaching porta boat to camper
Looking for ideas for attaching it to camper. Also what size outboards are you using? Which model 10 or 12ft model? Do you use it a lot or is it a pain to unload and assemble? Any input appreciated?

We use to have a 14 foot Porta-Bote with a Game Fisher 7.9 hp. We had a travel trailer at the time so we carried it on the pickup ladder rack. I do have to say we never owned the 8, 10 or 12 foot Porta-Bote but the 14 foot was a very good boat and handle rough water very well. We were quite surprised on how well it handled in rough water. 14 footer is suppose to handle better in rough water than the smaller ones. Boat never leaked a drop of water and highly recommend it. We moved on to a bigger boat but if we ever needed a portable boat again the 14 footer would be on our list.
Wife and I got into a situation while on the lake with the wind coming up unexpected. When waves crashed against the boat the boat flexed and absorbed the shock of the wave. It was quite interesting but made us believers on how well it handled. I guess we are still alive to talk about it:B
