I have had a drift boat for 15 years and had the usual complaints about not getting back to the hole and the turnaround. I bought a sled 8 years ago and I have only used the drift boat once since then. I keep it just in case. you know how that goes. I am now buying a little bigger sled and am selling my 16 foot valco with 70 pump for a good price. You heard it here first.
