Foldable Boat

Anyone have recommendations on a quality foldable boat that 2 adults and one child can comfortably sit in?

Thanks!

A little speedy but porta-botes are pretty neat! Take a look at sea eagle too. Awesome boats.

For the money, I've been very impressed with my Intex Mariner 4 (about $225 on Amazon). It has a huge payload capacity, is very stable and folds down to about 24x24x30 inches. I have a trolling motor on mine and can fish all day without an issue.

That's an inflatable, not a foldable.

Nothing wrong with speedy. My neighbor had a Porta-bote and loved it. He strapped it to the side of his motorhome. They've been around for quite some time now.

Correct! You are very observant.

To the OP:

I am truly sorry for putting such garbage information in your thread. I was only trying to show you other options that have worked well for my family and I. Space is tight in our trailer and I can fit this boat much more easily inside than a potential bundle of panels that fold out to a Portaboat. I have nothing against them....only trying to give more options.
