    Thanks for the pros and cons list. Wish I could see you give this feedback while on the boat though!

    I've got an on-the-water video about stability, and another speed testing the boat, if that helps.

    I'd also love a wider boat, but I didn't have room for one when I bought this one. I'll probably upgrade someday.

    Can you show a video of how you have done your removable deck? I like the idea of that and want to see how you have it done.

    A couple of folks have requested that, so I'd like to. I'm swamped at work for the next few weeks, but maybe I'll be able to put something together when work slows down.

    When you say big water what size lakes are you referring too as in acres

    It's not so much about the total size of the body of water as much as it's about the total distance from one shore to the other. For example, I've had my boat on a lake that has an area of 68 square miles; if I'm driving across the main part of the lake, it's sketchy because the waves are taller than the side of my boat. But if I'm in a wind-protected cove, then all is well.

    It was just before the pandemic. Prices skyrocketed like two months after I bought it.

    At first I rebucked the leaky rivets, but that didn't hold for very long. So I've started drilling them out and replacing them.

    I don't quite understand the question. Are you asking if kids have room to move around on the boat or if kids get drive it?
