Every Memorial Day weekend my son and I take a camping trip to Banks Lake in Eastern Washington. It serves as an opportunity to bond with one another and offers a respite from the monotony of city life. Every year we invest in a new toy or gadget to experiment with in the great outdoors, but this year I think we have outdone ourselves.

We generally spend a good portion of the weekend casting our lines from a dock or the banks of the lake, but that is all going to change this year. While we were scouring the internet last weekend in search of a new toy for our expedition, we discovered Sea Eagle inflatable pontoon boats. Not only are the watercraft lightweight, making them ideal for our camping journey, but they are only a fraction the cost of a traditional boat. Now we will be able to troll for the bigger fish out in the middle of the lake.
