Answer:
Disadvantages of inflateable boats:
1. Takes between a half hour and an hour to inflate or deflate.
2. Punctures easily if you hit a sharp rock or stump
3. Inflated tubes uses up 30% to 40% of available interior space - unless they are punctured!
4. Porta-Bote needs only a small 4HP- 6HP outboard to go up to 15 mph with one person. Porta-Bote will get up on a plane with as little as 2.5 HP with one person aboard!.Inflatables needs at least a 20 HP outboard weighing over 120 pounds (54.5kg) for similar performance
