your trip the decision should be quite easy. you and the family may want to fish, or canoe, water ski, relax in the sun, or any of a number of things. for these sort of trips you are able to rent a boat to either take along on your trip, or you can rent a boat once you arrive at your destination. there is no need to carry a trailer a long way to your destination and waste the extra gas. if you’re staying right there on the water, most locations will have boat rentals right there on site.
