- Didn't say we fish.

- Thank you Jay, that helps.

We're explorers of various surrounding bodies of water. We cruise slowly in relatively calm conditions typically in shallow waters and enjoy the environment. May have considered a very small pontoon if they weren't clumsy to tow. We don't bring along chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, paddle boards, canopies, kitchen sinks, spare car tires, anvils, explosives, hair dryers, makeup kits or full size refrigerators. Kids like wearing their comfortable neoprene life jackets and an adequately sized cooler is already available as the front seat. My emergency kit and tools are tightly and nicely kept in a sealed ammo box that can be stored away conveniently under the stern bench seat along with our two life jackets for easy grab if need be. Maybe some day we'll have to bring a wakeboard and rope, but that shouldn't be a problem behind the stern bench seat. As I agreed with most after viewing one, it's tight by today's Expedition XL SUV culture but should be fine for us.
