Tokyo Fire Department Rescue Team Tests Portaboat's Stability With Incredible Results!

The 12' Porta-Bote (3.85m) model was recently tested for stability by the crack Tokyo Fire Department's Water Rescue Scuba Team. They tried everything possible to swamp the craft, including having a diver climb aboard from the bow rather than the stern! As you can see, he was dressed in full heavy fire department rescue gear! Thanks to Porta-Bote's 5' (1.52m) beam (width) and patented "flexihull", this unique folding boat passed with flying colors!
Please Note: there was no compensating weight. All the weight was up front when the diver boarded. And, check out the picture on the right. A fully loaded boat with plenty of "freeboard" (space above the water line).
