Yesterday I w0321-2319.jpgas talking to a friend that went out on an inflatable for the first time and she thought it was a real blast, she was being towed on a two person towable and the boat driver knew how to use the wake of the boat to make it a lot more fun.  Do not forget their are inflatables for one to several people and many shapes and designs and you can have a lot of fun and it does not depend on your age.  Water Tubes are becoming more popular all the time so join in the fun and and use an inflatable towable.

Tow ropes come in many different material and lengths which means when you are towing people you must have the correct rope so that you do not break a rope because you are towing six people with a 2 person rope.  Ropes usually rated for 2, 4, or 6 people which is how most inflatable toys come.  Make sure that you have a red flag so that if someone falls off the inflatable tube you can hold it up so other boaters can see you and know someone is in the water.  0321-3486.jpg

After spending a week at my favorite lake with lots of other people and some very rough water you could sure see the difference with the boats that had trim tabs and those that did not, the boats with the trim tabs sure were a lot smoother on the water than those that did not and with gas very high out on the lake the trim tab people enjoyed a less expensive week because of the economy they enjoyed because they used Bennett Trim Tabs.

Planning a Boat Trip

Planning a Boat Trip

We all know about road trips, but much less common and a whole lot more fun are boat trips. Unlike a cruise that often involves a big investment and sharing the boat with several others, a boat trip is just friends and family taking a boat up and down the coast. There are all kinds of little ports and docks on coasts around the nation, and most are more than happy to let boats moor at their docks for free or for a small fee. It can be a lot of fun traveling via boat down the coast, docking in the evening, and sleeping in the boat or in a hotel at night. Boating is a whole lot more fun than just traveling in a car, and is just as feasible. It is a good idea to bring a marine GPS along for the ride, as getting lost can be a real danger under adverse weather conditions. However, with a marine GPS, a radio, and a little preparation, a boat trip is even safer than a road trip.

Instead of road tripping somewhere this summer, rent or borrow a boat and take it down the coast for a weekend, a week, or a whole month. There’s no telling what kind of adventures await on the open water!
