Pedal Boat
Does anyone know where one might purchase a pedal boat. They seem very hard to find, even online. Thanks.

Pedal boat
You might ask Dive Winnipesaukee (569-8080). They seem to be pretty well connected to the water sports world, and if they can't get it for you, maybe they can give you a lead to someplace that can.

Craigslist
Craigslist has a sundolphin pedal boat for sale in Danville VT for $250. For that price, worth renting a truck, if needed to pick it up. Posted today

Girlfriend Wanted It...
I sold one a couple of years ago.
The buyer picked it up at the dock and carried up our steep hill to his car. |

Every pedal boat I've ever seen has sat way longer than it's ever been used, and that includes rentals.
There is one such at my association—if I can find info on it, I'll post it here. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

We bought one two years ago.....forget the name of the business but it's right on Court st in Laconia.
It actually gets a lot of use …..especially since I cheated and installed a trolling motor & deep cycle battery. We do use the pedals but it's nice to have option of just cruising |

Standard plastic pedal boats are like trying to drive a bathtub...I bought one for my daughters some years ago when they rented a lakeside cottage in Massachusetts. Sure it was fun and a way to get them on the lake...
If I were to be in the market nowadays, I would look into the ones built like a mini aluminum pontoon boat! More pricey but a lifetime investment! “Paddle King” and “Aqua Cycle” are but a couple of brands out there. |

We have a Seacycle that we enjoy a lot. We got the option for a second pedaling seat so we can go out together. It’s very stable in rough water, and the drive section tips up if you hit a rock. Worst problem is clearing weeds from the prop. We put a platform across the back for our dog, who loves to come with us.
