They remember everything. Are you going to get a tow behind inflatible?

Also, if you need life jackets, large and small, I have tons and don't need them. Yours for the asking.

We already have a tube, the kids get to try it on Sunday. Thanks for the life jacket offer Paul, but we went shopping a few nights ago. Sams Club has pretty good deals on them at the moment.

Peppy, that Stingray is a great looking boat. I looked at a few and felt that they were pretty high quality.

Kurt, from my reading on iboats it appears that all Tahoes suffer from really crappy low speed handling. The Smart Trim tabs reportedly fix the issue, and there's a LOT of positive feedback on the forums. I plan to look into the tight steering first, once it's fixed I'll re-assess the lack of directional stability.
