PORTABLE BOAT
I need to take a tinny, inflatable or portaboat on the big trip around oz to do river and estuary fishing. Has anyone had any experience with small and portable boats. I have a landcruiser tray top and will be pulling a fifth wheel van so I will not be able to use a rhino boat loader. I will probably need to make a roof rack extending over the bonnet to carry the boat. The portaboat 3.8m is only 31kg and can be handled easily by one person. An inflatable of the same size is about twice as heavy and a tinny about 80-100kg. On weight considerations only the portaboat looks the goods. But how does it really perform has anyone had experience using a 12 footer in bays and estuaries where you are liable to have to negotiate through some chop? I would really appreciate some feedback if there is anyone that can give me some advice and anecdotal information.
