Hi,
You could also tow a dingy in case and a multitude of safety gear. I know you can never be certain, but I think if you keep your boat in good order and you don't boat near Niagara Falls or somewhere as threacherous, you can be at ease and enjoy your boat. I agree that adding a motor is expensive, ugly and who says that will work when you really need it.

We have been boating 30 years, and only a few incidents, but it always turns into an adventure, inconvience and something to remember.

Apart from the safety gear, we bring a battery pak, a quart of oil, a cell phone. and warm clothes.

Happy Boating..
Gilberte

I got a kick out of that!!!!

I often boat close enough to see the mist over Niagara falls!!!! (2 or 3 miles upstream at most)

Even in the Niagara River, very few if any boats tow a dingy or have a backup motor, but we all have one thing in common..... a very big anchor!!!

I have a swim deck and would be worried if I trimmed up if it would fit.
