When I was shopping I made damn sure I got a full head with a pumpout - I don't want to carry around a bucket of.... you get my drift.

I don't and nether do my friends have a can on theirs ether. At Loto it's like a washing machine, it will be sloping all around and there's a way it can get out it will. To many bars or coves to stop in to do that on the lake here. Each to there own. I know a lot of lakes may not have many options.

don't seem to have much problem with mine; fairly smooth ride however (and slow)- dump it after every outing

I've had porta potti's on my last 2 boats. Never an issue with odor or leaking. It gets used frequently. I boat at LOTO as well and never had a problem. It certainly is nice to walk down to the boat when the line to bar's bathroom is 12 deep.

I keep one on board just for my kid to use (4 yrs old). By the time he knows he's got to "drop a deuce" there is NO time to get anywhere. I've never had a problem with it.
