Want to know one of the best parts about owning a pedal boat? The exercise. Pedal boating is great exercise. Want to know one of the toughest parts of owning a pedal boat? The pedaling. It’s too much exercise. People think that pedal boats are hard to use but they really just don’t like pedaling. …
I’ve owned a few pedal boats over the years and I’m still amazed at how slow they go. Maybe that’s mostly on me and my lack of leg muscle but, then again, no one else seems to be passing me on the lake. However, they are so much fun to use that I just can’t …
When my wife and I got married she couldn’t fathom why anyone would fish from shore. She grew up on the coast and all she knew was fishing from a boat. I, on the other hand, grew up super poor and knew nothing but fishing from shore (or off of docks, bridges, etc.) We seem …

Let me guess, you fish? Of course you fish. And if you’re the kind of man (or woman…) that fishes, you’re probably not the kind that is content to just let your new fishing boat stay the way you bought it. My brother hadn’t had his Bass Raider 10E for more than 5 minutes (I …
When it comes to choosing the best pedal boat, there are lots of things to consider. Investing in the wrong boat can leave you with headaches as you try to make a floating hunk of plastic do what you want. At least I hope it will be floating. The best pedal boats are easy to …
It may seem strange, but there have been arguments from people insisting that pedal boats are terrible when they actually mean paddle boats. Despite their similar-sounding names (and similarities in design), there are several distinct differences. A pedal boat is any boat that has one or more sets of pedals that drives the motor, pushing …
