Boats are probably cooler if your backyard is boatable. If I had a boat i'd get a small boston whaler like this one for 5 grand
>>2058711And then venture around a shallow sound where if you do manage to sink your still in warm shallow water.
Plus it would be cool to be able to boat into gameland or setting up a camp along the coast.
I was dreaming about it and would take like a waterproof power station and 2, 200 watt solar panels to a secluded beach via boat and camp under the stars with my electronic creature comforts.
A outboard is nice cause if they break you can just replace the entire motor unit, twins are the most reliable cause if one fails you still have a backup motor.
Plus I would get an extended fuel tank so I can go at least 100 miles to any pier to get gas. Then one could boat the intercoastal waterway from the chesapeake to florida.
I wonder if people do backpack out of boats around the eastern coast, seems like fun.
