Seems I've been having a hard time getting a picture of the boat OFF of the trailer. Finally was able to float out on the tube long enough to get a decent picture of the little boat.



I know it's nothing special, and certainly not as nice as some of the other boats around here, but it gets the job done. I know I'd rather spend a day on a small boat than a large couch thats for sure!

Very nice - and don't fret the size - amenities - here on LKN - all boats are welcome - even pontoons...

Boaters are boaters - wherever you go...

Oh and bring the fenders (the bigger the better) and anyone can tie up...

Nice clean boat Mike.  I had three bowriders that I used for skiing/tubing/coving/etc. until I could swing a cruiser (maybe I just got old).  Anyway enjoy your boat time - for us it's the best time as long as you're afloat!

Well - we have a regular 3 or four in our group - and I will tell you - these will change your mind - the one is known as The Living Room - complete with recliners and ottomon's... Oh and full enclosure for the winter with a Honda Gen on the back to power the residuals (i.e. 24 inch plasma, etc...

The other is a new Avalon - very clean and the captains chair is the most amazing thing ever - sort of like a very comfortable "play" chair

The last is a tri-toon, with a 250 HP evinrude that will run 57 + MPH (on GPS) and will flat knock your socks off...

All carry big boy fenders and are welcome all day long around me at least...

But I do understand, they really aren't boats - their floating entertainment...

Thanks for the kind words fellas! We greatly appreciate it!!

As for Pontoons. My uncles has a 24' tri-toon with a 150hp outboard on the back. Runs about 40mph when he has a good prop, and tune up on it. Been using it for years for skiing and tubing. Finally got my own floaty this year, and hate myself for waiting so long!......Kinda funny comment was made last year though as 15 of us were going accross the water on it. One of the people at the raft-up we were headed too said we "looked like a load of immigrants heading ashore!!"......I couldn't stop laughing then, but now that I think about it it probably did look that way!

Oh - no offense - we joke about it as well - but I have to say that the newer ones really made me think hard when we bought the 270 - seriously... It came down to AC and a Microwave...
