Canoe Canoe

Chased around with the wife yesterday. Went to the Bass Pro Shop in Bolingbrook (IL) and looked at their canoes and boats. I'd like to get a nice motor boat but it really wouldn't make much sense. We don't have a summer cottage on the lake (yet) and thus have nowhere to store the thing. And with gas prices what they are now a tank of fuel could well run over $150 a pop.

So a short term option might be a nice canoe. Much cheaper than a boat. Less cost on gas (even if we get a small side mount motor). And it can be hung from the rafters in the garage. My dad and I used to go canoe fishing up in northern Wisconsin at Lost Lake. Plus, if we actually do decide to paddle it would be like, exercise. Win-win!
