I have decided to get rid of my pedal boat. I had big plans for this paddle boat. I was hoping my kids would use this pedal powered boat occasionally and had also planned on doing some projects like installing an electric trolling motor. But the reality is this isn’t the right boat for me for several reasons – so this is goodbye to my cheap old pedal boat. This Sea Venture pedal boat (or paddle boat) is pretty neat and hopefully gives someone else some pleasure and enjoyment!
I bought this old neglected and cheap pedal boat last year and cleaned it up for a trial run. But after that we never ended up using it again. So I am saying goodbye to my little pedal powered boat and maybe I’ll find another little boat to take its place in the yard!

Got one given to me several years ago. Bought the replacement rudder and never put it on. Now wanting to get it together for me and my grandsons. We plan to visit (camp) state parks and think this might be fun. Have to build a trailer for it.
Get a kayak!! Start fishing!
Get a jet ski
Had some of the best childhood memories on a paddleboat…strapped a cooler and first aid kit to the back and paddled around to various small islands with a few buddies on a summers day
As a serious fisherman if I was getting rid of my boat it would only be to get another so I guess I agree
I had a peddle boat when I was a kid I absolutely loved the thing fished from it all the time it was a shame I was growing out of it then someone stole it
I recently took one out first time in over 15 years. First 30 seconds was a hoot, got a little wake going 🌊. Then leg cramps…. 😫
Gosh memories trolling and fishing off the paddle boat as a kid. It was epic.
Need a new project? Maybe you should try building a boat from plans in an old issue of popular mechanics or popular science?
Hope she finds a loving home that will use her. Goodbye Pedals.
Coincidentally, I was looking through marketplace and saw some pedal boats. I know they aren’t the most exciting things that you never get sick of but they seemed cool. 5 minutes later I’m on YouTube seeing this video. This upload was well planned!
The foam has to be saturated for it to be that heavy.
I understand about you getting rid of the paddle boat.
We've had the same paddle boat since 93. My brother and I always went out on paddle boat as kids. Our lighter weight which helps. It gets used once a year now a days. I drive the paddle, while my mom and brother swim across the lake alongside of the paddle boat.
where can i find a outboard motor
One other main draw back to the peddle boat is it is hot hot hot especially on days that don't have a breeze so your peddling to try and get a wind in your face but the harder you peddle the hotter you get a viscous cycle of unhappiness unless your a really young fit and skinny person who is not sensitive to being hot and sweaty if your used to the outside summer heat then you might like the experience.
In order to get the kids excited by that you'd have to have bumpers on them and several paddle boats so they could play bumper boats and then you'd have to offer ice cream and a prize to whoever won the bumper boat game and a Xbox 360 to the winner and some cash also LOL
Best day is when you buy a boat…. second best day is when you sell the boat… Why? So you can buy a bigger boat of course… Have a great day! 😊
I would like to see an inflateible personal pontoon with a small gas motor.
Bye bye heavy little boat. Was nice to see you cleaned. Enjoy your new life.
I am guessing that you posted the drawbacks of a peddle boat of this shape and mass….. after it was sold. 😉
They are so slow they act like a sail when the wind blows it will push u across the lake and u can’t paddle it back
everyone thinks their kids will enjoy using these and they end up being shoreline ornaments here in the great north woods.
Get a 14ft v hull aluminum boat
A small 5hp motor and power it up, clutch on the little lawn mower motor and bicycle chain to a sprocket on one of the paddles option of where you sit to drive it it'd be a good weight balance and you don't have to battle and when you do shut the motor up you can still go reverse and four because the clutch on the motor
Its a half assd idea
Remember when to brought it home , and showed your wife. But you made sense with your words. Sometimes us boat owners just have to make the choice…
