Sea Doo Trip from Hastings to The Kawarthas
This Trent River to Otonabee River Sea Doo Tour via Rice Lake is one of many exciting Ontario rides I’ve discovered. My wife and I acquired a Triton Elite WCII watercraft trailer, so we could easily access Ontario riding destinations other than our own cottage lake from my Sea-Doo dealer, Gateway Powersports & Marine. Most are also close to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). So why stay in one place all summer? Get out there and live a little!
Power Boat Television: Daytripping the Kawarthas
Steve’s buddy joins him to spend a few days exploring the Trent-Severn Waterway on a Princecraft Quorum 23 pontoon where they take over control of the Peterborough Lift Lock. Later he heads to the Rideau River to profiles a 2017 Carver C37 while on My Boat it’s Mike shows the good, bad and ugly of fuel and other hoses.
