I am a big fan of Porta-bote's. I used to be a dealer (we sold them
through St. Brendan's Isle). I owned two of them for tenders over the
years... a 10 footer and the 12 footer.
Probably the best and most indestructible light-weight tender you could
possibly ask for.
But there is NO WAY you can assemble one from folded to full in "1-2
minutes max". That is just so much horse hooey.
