On the Missouri river with all sand bars not so good, seen plenty of mad people who just party and cruise around get stuck, lakes alot better, boat ramps can be fun if really shallow, the way seats are set up not very comfortable. Have stand all time, if wind comes up big waves are not so fun. See older people trolling on lakes in Minnesota, not best boat control put make do with what you got. Tri toons are new rage put really nice boats with bigger HP cost like sparkly boat. Can handle alot more people is plus side.
