    Gas and mileage to Grand Rapids from Brooklyn Center and back: $250

    Boat, motor and trailer: $2700

    Lowrance, misc odds and ends: $800

    The look on my toddler’s face every time I open the throttle up and she yells “YAY DADDY GO BOAT GO!”: priceless

    Congrats on the new “tooner”. They are very fishable… I see them 2-3 miles out on the great lakes…just use your head on big water. A long handled net may be in your future.

    I own one of those also and you are absolutely correct – my 2 yr old thinks it’s “her” boat!!!

    Enjoy many hours of priceless family memories…!

    Scales are for butchers and money changers! Life is all about skin…

    After dragging that thing around town 2 nights in a row I get why you don’t see people tugging pontoons around that much. Holy crap, that beast is heavy.

    I’m getting better at backing and unloading/loading it tho… funny how it really does take a bit of practice, going on and off the trailer.

    Still, I wouldn’t trade it for the world! And it’s already getting me invites from guys who want me to take them out in trade for hotspots.
