The BEST reason MBL Mike! Great picture!

My son only wanted to ski or tube. My daughter though.... During her first time fishing in a boat, we were bobbing up and down in 2' waves off Kelleys. She got a bit green, immediately chummed the waters with her breakfast and, within 2 minutes, had her pole back in the water. She is a rabid fisherman!

Boats are never cheap, they consume a lot of time (winterizing, cleaning, repairing, etc) but they certainly generate priceless experiences and memories. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
