My brother and I bought little personal pontoon boats from Costco back in 2015 for $300 and discovered that they were the cat's meow for river and small lake fishing in good weather.
Our favorite trip is to the Coeur D'Alene River to fish for Cutthroat Trout. We have a buddy with property right on the river and we go upriver about 7 miles and get dropped off and float down all day with coolers full of drinks and snacks.
Most beautiful and relaxing time I have all summer...

On the other extreme is when we go Kokanee fishing on Dworshak reservoir near Orofino, ID. We have a family cabin down there and dad has a 26' foot Carver with full galley, head, and stateroom.
We head out and troll for hours just drinking and smoking cigars and shooting the breeze. Almost as relaxing as the float trips...
