Flexibility is the secret to Porta-botes incredible stability. This is the same reason an inflatible is more stable than a rigid craft. When a strong wave slams the side of a Porta-bote, the polypropylene Flexi-Hull actually flexes inwards approximately 12% dissipating almost 90% of the waves energy.

The Deep V Bow  cuts through the chop and guides in under the bow. The outer tubing forces the spray out and down, helping to keep the Porta-bote dry.

With Porta-bote's "FlexiHull " casting is easy. When you stand up , the Porta-bote hull flexes downward slightly where your weight is. The rest of the Porta-bote hull retains it double chine shape, trapping water under the hull, preventing the Porta-bote from rolling over like a canoe or rounded bottom aluminum boat. This slight flexing is  another reason the Porta-bote hull is so tough. Polypropylene has incredible strength to begin with, but add in some flexibility and it is almost indestructible.
