Yeah, I'd never buy a jetski. My brother is the sailor. I love to sail around, but not as captain. Too much constant fussing.

I'm actually in the market for one of these.

We vacation on Lake Superior, and it's the smallest boat you can get that you can call sea worthy. I just want something I can tool around in, and pull up on the beach at the end of the day.

"Pull up on the beach at the end of the day" is key.

Yeah, we've actually done pretty well with a 16' aluminum boat and a setup of driftwood rollers, but that requires gathering up a handful of folk.

Taking a dock and a boat launch in and out every year is kind of a pain. You've seen our set-up, we just have the pontoon boat, which is all I'd ever want anyways, but it requires the lift. -A giant floating couch basically. But, we can get it going quick enough to pull skiers and tubes. Fun.
