No regrets so far with the new ride. Drake was definitely enjoying driving the boat and he handled it like a pro. I'm blessed that he enjoys doing all the outdoor activities with us and getting to experience a lot of things most kids his age don't get to see and do. Thanks buddy! I hope to see one of your videos soon! Take care.

Cool mini adventures! I too am always trying to get into some of those and see where it goes. Fun videos.

Awesome boat Keith, a great investment. 👍🏻

Since a lot of people ask about price, I'll say this... If time is not a consideration and your handy at fabrication, rigging skills then, shop independently for used trailer, hulls (SeaArk) others used - no engines. They appear sporadically but do appear. Then, buy a low hour Gator or new saving big money. BIG MONEY. Look to travel to get it. My one year plan...
