And you're right - one of the reasons I bought this boat was that one of the reviewers said because of its shape, you can put a little trolling motor on the back, which I plan to do.Dawn@Lighten Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06301481567651330133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-38248610650694525852015-02-28T04:36:42.719-08:002015-02-28T04:36:42.719-08:00Strayer - that is so cool to hear!

This one got good reviews, especially from women who said it was lightweight and also can fit in a car such as a Honda Accord (with the seats folded down).

Something like $600 for a half day. That's crazy! Almost as crazy as living on a boat - I don't know how people do that, either.
