If I go to the Big river it takes 10-15 mins.,from hooking up the trailer to launching the boat.

How fast can you be out of the house and on the water?

I live smack dab in the urban jungle. Having said that, I can be on the closest body of water utilizing the closest ramp to said river in about 30-45 minutes. If I want to hit a lake (which I do most) It takes at minimum 1-1/2 to 2 hours. That is with the only prep being loading rods n tackle and unplugging the battery charger. Normally Murphy steps in with his dumb law and I have to change a trailer light, give the car used to block the drive where the boat is stored so it isn't stolen a jump (assuming the hood on the piece of junk opens) makes the whole thing longer. :lol:

It all depends on whether it is a planned trip of a spur of the moment thing.
Depending on the time of year, the preferred tackle is already in the boat and I have an onboard charger. All I have to do is take off the cover, unplug the charger and hook to the truck.
If it is a preplanned trip, all of that is done the night before so all I have to do is hop in the truck and drive to the general area where I want to fish (closest launch is approx. 12 miles away).

A garage is not for cars! I was looking at houses in Charleston and I noticed that they either have 0, 1, or 2 car garage. I told the wife that we need a 2 car garage minimum. She said "so my car and your boat will park in it?" I replied "no so my current boat and my new boat can park in it"

When I map a route on Google Maps from my house to my "home lake", it gives me the option of choosing walking directions, if that tells you anything 8) It's a small 1000+ acre lake but convenient as heck.
Boat stays ready, but it still takes me about 20 minutes from the time I walk out the front door.

Priceless!! :LOL2: I've never used a garage for cars. Used to have one big enough for a Skeeter ZX225 with a swingaway tongue; my current garage has enough room for my tools, workbench and 2 motorcycles :mrgreen:

:twisted: I have a good amount of productive water near me so I would say about 20-30 minutes max from hooking up the boat, loading and getting in the water.
