v007

I went to Belwood lake last weekend, it turned out there is a shallow area where i can place all my things into the boat. my first boat ride and fishing were better than expected, even though I didn't catch any fish. I didn't bring an anchor so I got drifted so many times lesson learn for myself, I need to buy an anchor.

Thanks a lot for this steps, I also have ryobi blower which help a lot. I guess the hardest part is rolling the boat into the water without wheels on the slopy, could be slippery/ramp? I am buying the wheels now to be installed in my motor mount kit, hope this helps me. so do you place the battery inside the boat when rolling it down into the ramp? if not how do you place it on the boat when the boat already on the water? and how and when you get into the boat, is the a dock near the ramp? so we can jump into the boat and place everything we need it. sorry for detail questions since I never been launching i am worry and confused.

Hi Experience Boaters I checked the weather this weekend, Risk of a thunderstorm. meaning we should not go boating and fishing right?

How do you guys bring this inflatable boat to the boat launch? any tips

i finished my shopping for the safety kit.

thanks a lot, very usefull as it has images as well. thanks

I have Intex Mariner 4 inflatable boat, I will be bringing pfd for everyone on board, PCO card. any other required stuff I need to bring? when I took the exam it seem a lof to bring but I am not sure if that necessary for small inflatable boat. please advise me what usually you are required to bring other than what I missed above

i am very happy that you guys help a lot now i know a few free lake to launch to try my boat.

thanks Jon, i will try fairy lake as well.

Wow Amazing Akrisoner for the info that Bay Front park look good to try my motor boat, thank you so much. Regarding the capacity of the boat you are right maximum is 4 people, since this is our first try we thinking of taking a turn to enjoy the boat, then eventually only a few of us will go fishing with this boat.

what do you think about lake Simcoe? only 1 hr from Brampton, can do boating, swimming, and fishing. and entry is free only parking is paid so not bad at all

I hear you but when I go I will go with the family and i am family of 5 (5 x$7=$30 ) with car $14 total is $44 per visit, if I go every weekend starting this weekend until summer end, it's really a lot of money. What is hamilton harbour? that is for lake ontario I am afraid to go to lake ontario, big lake. if I have to go to lake ontario I was thinking to go to from the beaches in missisauga there is a beach i know is friendly for swimming i can push my boat there.

That's what worries me, I just bought an inflatable boat with an electric motor, and hard to find a lake that accepts it. I don't want to go to Ontario Lake for my first try too dangerous.

do we need to pay to enter all the lakes near GTA? I saw that guelph and island lake have admission fees
