Maybe the Porta-bote is not the answer.
OTOH, I can get a cheap inflatable from West for about $400 and put a
cheapo e-bay 2 hp outboard on it.
Maybe there simply is not an answer but I do not believe that.


D'oh. I pointed that out yesterday.


Maybe I can store it under the cushions of the settee. It will have
to be amenable to being sorta being manhandled but maybe.
