Comments on: Porta-bote Redux Redux http://searunner.sv-timemachine.net/2007/05/porta-bote-redux-redux/ The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. Fri, 18 May 2012 18:33:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: George Snyder http://searunner.sv-timemachine.net/2007/05/porta-bote-redux-redux/#comment-91159 George Snyder Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:51:02 +0000 http://searunner.sv-timemachine.net/2007/05/porta-bote-redux-redux/#comment-91159 The older version (10' I think) Portabote I owned for several years, split through the skin right where the seat pushes against it. The gash remained part of the now useless boat for eight years. The folks at PortaBoe wouldn't believe such a thing could happen, even after I sent pictures. It ended up in a dumpster. After going through a few inflatables, my dinghy now is a Bolger Shoebox I built in one weekend at the marina. It will outlive me.

The bladder that the transom actually hides once put together is cracking midline from the base of the hull where the two seams come together. Anyone ever heard of this being a problem. Sandy doesn't recall ever hearing of this before . . .

I'm sad about this since the transom was the really broken part and the thing that prompted us to contact Porta-Bote in the first place about possible warranty. I'm assuming it was a mistake and I'll let Sandy know since he was always very keen on hearing if we got the parts or not but, since he pretty much hates us, I'm not exactly expecting to be sent the transom at this point. I think we'll try to construct one of wood, epoxy, and fiberglass. We finally got the box but it contained only seats; no transom.

Also---it is odd that you ALWAYS got my emails. No matter where you were on the planet. Methinks he doth protest too much. --Mom/Peg And speaking of the boxed up seats and transom for the Porta-Bote, do you want us to send them, or just hold on to them when you come to Arizona?
