XCR-700..

I attribute most of this to the crazy pandemic buying that occurred. Lots of people with very little knowledge and tons of $$$ decided to make Winni their playground when covid hit. It doesn't help that every marina on the lake rents boats!

There are still a lot of us "old school" types who were brought up on the water and were taught boat handling from a young age. Unfortunately that is not the norm today. Thankfully, the lake is large and despite the overwhelming number of boats and their unskilled drivers out there, accidents are few.
