Paddle Boat Hauled to Alden"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Like my larger pontoon boat, the story of this little pontoon paddle boat starts with my brother Dave browsing Craigslist. \u00a0This past Monday, Dave sent an email, showing a little 10-foot Paddle King pontoon boat for sale. \u00a0He knew that I was interested in getting one for our guests to use. \u00a0I called the seller Tuesday, and on Friday, I hauled the little boat to Alden in the bed of my pickup truck.<\/p>\n<p>The boat was light enough for me to unload myself. \u00a0In a constant drizzle, I dragged it to the shoreline, which is at the highest level I&#8217;ve ever seen, thanks to heavy snow from the past Winter. \u00a0Enzo joined me for a short ride on Thayer Lake, which allowed me to inspect my dock, which is floating away due to the high lake levels. \u00a0I have some maintenance work to do on the dock in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This little pontoon paddle boat needs to be cleaned up a bit, but it&#8217;s mechanically sound, and has a new chain. \u00a0I suspect that it will be a favorite water toy with our guests. \u00a0It&#8217;s very relaxing to ride.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
