... after only a few uses. You can't board over the bow (very unstable at the bow and the sides flex too much to help your balance) so the only way to board at a crowded dinghy dock is to climb into other dinghies first. The aft corners are hard and sharp (not kind to topsides), and the black seam covers mark your deck and topsides. Especially in cold weather, can be very difficult to operate. Quality of the seats and transom and forepeak are awful. Although you could rebuild or replace any of those parts easily why should you have to? I use a lightweight RIB now.

BTW -- I do think it's a great concept, but don't be fooled about the marketing claims "folds into 4" flat". The seats and transom take up at least as much space as the hull, and they don't fold flat. Also, I'm pretty sure the seats and transom are not included in the published weights of the PB. You should confirm; because they would add at least 20 more pounds.

All that said, it does have advantages, as touted in the marketing. It rows VERY well and goes much faster than an inflatable with a small 2-4HP OB. PB users are like Mac users -- it's a religion. (I'm sure Greg will chime in). If I needed to carry a second dinghy I would consider it again, or get a roll-up. Probably the roll-up would be better.
