You might want to go over to www.porta-bote.com and take a look at the 10'or 12' they sell. There's also a Yahoo porta-bote forum with a lot of pictures of how guys modified their "botes" to include attachments for fishfinders, rod holders, etc. The 12' bote only weighs 69 lbs, takes up to a 6 hp Nissan 4 stroke, and folds down to only 4 inches flat so you can tie it to the top of your car. There may be someone selling their used bote on their forum if you want to save a few bucks.
