I'll start. Donna and I made our annual trip to Cozy Cove at Marion Lake over Memorial Day. We took a side trip to Lake Belle Taine outside Park Rapids, MN and hired fishing guide Jason Durham to take us out on the lake my parents took us kids to in 1962 and we stayed at Beauty Bay Lodge. Here is a pic that I left with the lodge owners Tim and Jenny Meyer. That's me on the right.

Here is Donna with our guide Jason on his brand new $130,000 Crestliner boat.

You could go all spring and summer for years up here doing that.
Its fun, usually not big fish, some keepers, but the bite just never lets up

Easy to launch, I have portable all terrain wheels that I use from truck to water, then just bungee them into the storage space.

Don't need a boat ramp. Just out of the bed of the truck, down to the water, push off and your own your way.

Really do like it.

Has the peddle drive that is truly amazing and versatile for speed OR small changes.

What is the startup cost for a rig and accessories like this?

$3900 total with tax. You can definitely find some cheaper, but with this drive system the convenience and mobility of it was the sell for me. Also the pre plumbed ports for a fish/depth finder. No need for modification and cutting to install.

Hobie has a couple boats like it with even more amenities that run into the upper $5000's.
