Here's my 2000 PAN I've usually trailered in and out of the water at the lake. We now have a permanent home on the water for it with our new dock.

Nice boat house. Beats the heck out of trailering!!!

We're on Houston County Lake, not really close to Houston at all. I enjoyed the trailering for a while - felt I was able to show off my boat and matching truck while stopping at Sonic and other places, but the newness wore off and hassle wore on me, so now it sits in a lift - sooo much more convenient. When I'm done cleaning up the place after a weekend, I can still head out for a quick set without much effort as the lake glasses up on a Sunday evening.

Here's another of me enjoying family and friends out on the water...

Really looks like the boat is roughing it sitting on the lift. Nice dock.

In that chop, I'm guessing that what we don't see in the picture is the tube being pulled behind... .

Actually tubes - plural. I'm always game to pull my nieces and nephews, and even neighbor kids. So much fun to hear them laugh and enjoy the water. Plus, driving the Nautique is so easy and comfortable - like a sports car on the water.

Thanks for the kind comments. The dock roof came out a little taller than imagined, but it's actually nice that way. Carrying fishing poles, you're not banging the tips on the rafters and beams. The extra height also lets a real nice breeze through. Overall, the dock setup has been a huge plus over the single slip we used to have.
