Mikey, that's exactly what I figured. It'll get us through this summer and if I want to upgrade at a later date this one will continue to teach the beginners. I can't wait to get the boat on the water to try it out. Too bad we're a bunch of babies when it comes to cold water! I'm hoping the nice weather continues so the lakes warm up. It's probably a good thing the water is still cold because we're in the process of rebuilding the interior of our boat. It needed all new wood and vinyl....talk about a job! Have you taken the boat out yet this year?
