Here is a vid that preety covers it well.

Somebody brought an 8 footer 20,000' up Mount Everest to boat in a lake thats up there. Mine is the 12 footer and is the only boat that is FAA aproved for sea plane travel when straped to the pontoons. It weighs 69 lbs complete but the hull is in the 50's and folds up to 12.5' x 24" x4". It's almost 5 feet wide when set up and seems big for a 12 footer. Dang! Now I need a sea plane.
You would think that after 9 other boats I would have had enough but this little thing straped on the roof can be taken to those places that nobody else can get too. Mine also came with a trolling mtr and a 37LB Yamaha 4 stroke 2.5 hp.
One thing that impressed me was that when I called the factory to ask about used boats I've seen on Craigslist the lady was very honest about the new and old boats and what to look for. She told me to jump on the Yamaha equiped boat and after cleaning the jets I can tell that it's a sweet little engine. The cool thing about it that it does not leak oil or gas vapors when stored.
Personally.. I have no pride and if it's a hassle or a POS I'll be the first to say.
Hope to have the maiden voyage this weekend in the Porta-Bote.
SS Porta Potty sound like a good name?
