Creator's Key Takeaways

in my opinion renting a boat it is absolutely fabulous you don't have to worry about the maintenance or the upkeep or you know any kind of mechanical problems

the most important thing you can do is pin your location before leaving the dock you will absolutely get lost on this lake

one of the apprehensions i had about renting a pond toon boat was that it was going to be slow but as you can see this boat is fast

unfortunately the ladder broke so for a good portion of the day a lot of adults spent time pulling kids out of the water

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pin your location before leaving the dock to avoid getting lost on the lake.
Work on hand signals for tubing: stop, go faster, and slow down.
Be mindful as the boat operator to pay attention to people on the tube and surroundings.

Pontoon boats might be slow.The boat was fast and steady, with no problems getting around.
Getting on the tube is hard.Once on, holding and staying on isn't a big deal; kids aged 8-14 had no trouble.
