Title: New Adventure Island owner
Post by: KPD on November 13, 2017, 05:10:25 PM: I’ve been wanting something that would make it easier to take my kids out on the water, and I like the idea of sailing, so today I finally brought home a 2010 AI.

It doesn’t have the shark fin rudder or other more recent improvements, but the price seemed reasonable.

I am excited about getting it on the water.

Congrats. You'll love it and your kids as well.

Congrats! Why ditch the Revo?

You mean my Adventure 16? I haven't decided to ditch it yet, but it should be a lot easier to fit both my kids on the AI. Also, early next season when the salmon are more than a few miles offshore, I'm hoping the sail will let me reach them.
