I've got an 18 foot boat. And I'm new to boating. So I've got a million
questions. And probably more to follow those!

I think my day-trip limit, for now, is 2 hours to reach an uncrowded
warm-water lake.

The first thing to come to mind is how far do you like to trailer your boat
for vacations and long weekends?

How far is too far and what's makes your destination too far?

What makes your destination worth the distance?

I travel about 135 miles to go boating. I trailer about 500 feet from
my mom's house to my sisters' private ramp into the Ohio River. No
docking fees (use one of my sisters' docks), no storage fees (use
mom's carport for the boat and garage for the jetski), no lines for
the ramp, hell I don't even have to mow the grass or clean up after
the spring floods. Sometimes life is good.
