Looking to use one this weekend to get through a flooded campground.

Don't want to go out and buy one because I'll never use it again.

Anyone got one of those little buggers laying behind their garage that I can use.

Will pay if necessary....

Thanks!

Have several other stops to make that day and don't want to deal with a canoe. Just figured I could toss a paddleboat into the back of my truck and be done with it.

Thanks!

I'd really appreciate it. The place I'd be taking it to is just over in Watertown so of you're in O-town, it wouldn't be gone long at all. Please let me know.

I appreciate you asking. SOB probably sits there 365 days a year.

I could leave him some obsurd deposit and give him a few bucks for the rental. It just doesn't pay to buy something I'll use once...

Yes it is and boy is that place fuct... The water is about 6 feet high at our lot, which is proabbly a solid 100 yards from the river banks. The 32' trailer has about 4 feet of water inside of it right now. That's one expensive ass fish tank!!

What about one of those small inflatable water crafts...??? You could go rent one from Wal-Mart and then return it when you're done.....:goof

Not that I've done that before.....:shades

No I don't know that name.

The ones down by the river are pretty bad. I have some pics at home. I don't know if that park will ever recover....

my parents have a place up there, we are on the horseshoe and have over 2ft of water, my uncle is just a few yards from the river at lot 470 and his deck has already floated away but thankfully got moved back by someone, he had waders on and the water was chest high... there was a pop-up floating down one of the roads sunday when my dad and uncle went up...the part of definitely in terrible shape, and as you said, i dont know if they park witll ever recover --- they ARE having a big parkwide meeting FYI saturday, contact me if you want more details if you dont know already.
