If you do end up getting one I know of a great river that it would be perfect for.

Hi,
I think the boat you are talking about is a Porta-Bote. The wheels come off after you launch and you store them under the seat. the boats weigh about 70 lbs.
The dealer in Ontario is:

Portable boats of Ontario
Craig cdill@cyg.net
877-388-3679

Craig told me he tested one by shooting it with a 22 rifle and the bullet didn't go through the hull. They are also very stable in rough water.

Cheers,

Joco, I'm sorry to be so rediculously reckless and lack any kind of seriousness regarding the topic but.......

Any husky fellow, with a generous amout of "insulation" in a body suit and helmet with a spear gun can not only run any rapids, ride topwater but also become submersable, unlike a standard boat.

(I'm kinda asking for it, considering we're supposed to go spear fishing this summer). Hmmm, raises the Q, do I need a Quebec licensce for that?

hi kpin......

if we go in the quebec sector,yes we will need one. a quebec license.

but we could go on the ottawa river quebec side....its legal but we wont see more then 3 feet in some sector,the water is realy murky.

so i do recomande clear lake to spear fish.......and there tons on the quebec side bud...

KARMA.....i did took a look a the portaboat site today..do look great.

but the ones i am looking for are made off plastic and not foldable...its one piece.hard plastic....its the same as a little aluminium boat but mabe beter and in plastic.

can t wait to see your portaboat karma.......soon .soon.
