I can absolutely see this in our future. My parents live on Lake Gaston. They maybe take the pontoon boat out once a month, a little more in summer, but not much this year bc of Mom's PPPD (not a good thing for being on a boat lol).
A usual trek around the lake is maybe an hour. Even when we're all out on it & pulling the tube, its two? 3 at most? Electric makes tons of sense.
It's good exercise for Dad to schlep gas cans down to the dock, but the day will come when thats not easy for him anymore.
