They're interesting folding boats, Slow. They fold up to only 4" thick.

"All models have a 5-foot beam, 4-inch draft, full-width bench seats, transom, floatation collar and oars. The 8½ footer weighs 47 lbs. (hull only), my 10 ½ Bote weighs 58 lbs., the 12 footer is 69 lbs., and the 14 footer is only 96 lbs. Maximum outboard engine weights range from 35 lbs. to 86 lbs. and all models can accommodate any size electric trolling motor. The smallest model has a capacity of 445 lbs. (persons, motors and gear) while the biggest model can handle 807 lbs. All models fold to a thickness of 4 inches and a width of 24 inches."

I've wanted one these for years but was put off by the price. I would own one if I was hardcore into rv'ing but I just can't justify it when I can buy a small aluminum boat at a quarter of the cost.
