Couldn't agree more. For me, pulling the kids and their friends is the best reason to own the boat. For some reason, my kids took to the water and water sports easily but some of their friends required more patience. After grumbling under my breath for a summer, I decided to buy a Bimini top. Wow, what a difference. Now I can stay on the water all day. I just love being in the boat and laughing at the kids. The kids have both grown up and gone out on their own but still like to bring friends to the lake - just not as many opportunities. Enjoy every moment!
