Your boat is in great shape. It probably depends on who owned it for the first 5 years of it's life. And that probably is true for any manufacturer.

B.I. I have had Peddle envy a couple of times while battling wind and current. They sure seem nice.

I was going to get a Quest or Red Fisher this winter, but my Mom left me a little insurance cash in her will (a delayed College Graduation present). She said I could be my usual self and be frugal and responsible with half of it, but I had to spend the other half of it on something for myself to make me happy.

My wife blessed it with, "You have to do what your mother says".

So it is peddle time me mateys!

I am going to check with Rick and Georgia this weekend.

In the bed of the S10 with an extender.

However, I am in the market for a light trailer for a 10 foot jon boat.

I pulled the trigger Saturday on the ride home from Shell Point. I stopped at Wilderness Way and bought the 2012 Mirage Drive Outback in Olive from Georgia.
I pick it up Saturday for its first ride!
I want to thank everyone who helped me with this decision, to each of you ...

PEDDLE ON!

Congratulations Ray! I couldn't think of a more perfect yak for you. And the wilderness way is top notch in my book. Hope to you on the water soon!

Just clip a carabiner and a length of rope to the back of BI's Outback.... You'll never be faster but you'll always keep up :lol:
