"skiff trash" it may make you, but you can safely take it 8-10 miles out in good conditions. anyone got shoulders that Manly? the "real boat" guys still think you're crazy. after beating the crap out of one in Mexico for 2 years, i can attest that all the claims they make on the website are true, maybe even understated. it just takes a while to quit freakin out as you watch hull flex and to accept that you can go to sea in something held together with staples & not die.......

Grego, you'll love that thing.

I've got mine up to 13 knots. It's ready for the 9 mile bank in July.

The Halibut are really in trouble now.

No trailer needed. (6) minutes from truck to water in this pic.

You guys are getting me pumped now....for the longer trips and some scouting runs. Will never give up the kayak, but this will get me out on those lazy days and give my back a rest without having to stay home.

Might have to start a "Porta Bote" category for this site! Pat and I the mods!! bahhahahahaaa
