OK, one last piece of advice if you are prone to casting your son adrift in 40 degree water.
One word...Ulterra!
With the touch of a button, you can deploy the trolling motor, stay dry, calm the child and save the fishing trip/boat ride.
Of course you have to remember to power on the Ulterra before you launch the boat.....and make sure the remote isn't in the boat when you launch it!
Possibly give the boy some lessons in starting the boat, trimming the motor, steering the boat?
I have salvaged a few trips by letting the youngsters drive the boat on the way back to the dock. You can imagine the look on their face when they are entrusted with the operation of the ship!
