Looking to purchase a first boat and hunting for recommendations -
here is my situation; - Live in Toronto and would do the majority of by boating in Lake Ontario, this is a VERY large lake (one of the great lakes). - Would like to park the boat in my garage, which measures 18 feet, 8 inches. A 16 ft bowrider will fit tightly. I realize this is not an optimal size for a huge lake. - Having a single motor on a great lake doesn't appeal to me much. Mitigating circumstances are that there is alot of boat traffic in the waters off Toronto and I hear that there is always someone to help. - Would like to fish (trolling for salmon about all that's available here) and waterski. - I live about 2 miles for the boat ramp, and own a sedan with a 3.1 liter engine. I understand that this is less then optimal for towing a heavy boat, but I could drive slowly. Don't see the wisdom in buying a new vehicle just so I can go boating. There is a big hill leading to the boat ramp (bluffers park for you locals). Finally, I realize this is something that I'd use 10 times a year if I'm lucky. Any advise out there? |
