We purchased this boat from Adroscoggin Wooden Boat Works 20 years ago now.  This has been our primary mode of water transportation for that entire time.  It actually feels like it's part of our family in a sense.  We have done lots with this boat, from pulling our daughter and friends around on the tube, to personally water skiing behind it, to trailering it to new bodies of water to  "explore".  I can't think of a better boat to suit our needs!
