Whoops, time to drop the price
« on: July 23, 2014, 04:16:47 PM »
Look at the last picture in the sequence on this posting.   Boat being towed back to shore!  Maybe not a strong marketing shot!

"Easy to pull... cruise control... almost drives itself...  50' section of rope recommended..."

Don't you guys think its just being towed behind a houseboat, like they do up North? 

How else would you get that angle with a wake in front/side of the boat, that high up?  Dunno...just my take?

Growing up. Whenever we cruised down to the keys we always towed the alum jon boat behind the 35' Chris. Hard to believe nowadays, but my folks would let us kids ride back there. We thought it was great?

In retrospect I can hear Dad ask Mom, "Are they all in there? Good, now cut the line ..."

Putting the kids behind in jon boat beind the 35' Chris sounds like heaven.   Rented a 30' catamaran style open boat with twin 250's while on Marathon key a few years ago.  Hit all the snorkel stops around the area.  I can't wait to do to again probably with some other boat, the 35 Chris had to be awesome way to travel.

And I could not believe the difference in the propeller "hookup" in the Atlantic salt water vs. the freshwater lakes in Minnesota.
