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?

  • A set of roof racks or as one of our members did......
  • Our 12' is fitted to the bottom 2 jack bolts on the drivers side. We use the SS rack from Porta-Bote using two angle Ls bolted together and drilled to match the bolts holding the jacks. I carry the 5hp Suzuki and PFD etc. in a Thule roof pod with the seats strapped to the roof rack beside pod. The system has worked well. See the You Tube address below to see the mounting. PM me if you want more info. I may be a little slow getting back we're in a bad spot for Broad band.

    Thanks for the intro billtex!

    Love to all,

  • We have a 14' that we use with an 8hp 2 st motor. It is a lot of fun and a well designed craft.
    Because of the length, we have to put it on the roof.

    Skip has a smaller one that he carries on the side of his TC...I am sure he'll chime in soon.
