Dude, we just put our boats away for the winter up here in the above land, so needless to say I'm a little jealous of this 14-year-old Aussie right here:
Towing that thing with a flippin' electric scooter! And on the sidewalk, too 🤣
Now that's commitment!
The youngster told 7NEWS.com.au he was taking the boat from his home in Rothwell in Moreton Bay to the nearby Deception Bay Mud Flats.
He said he used a pants belt around his waist to attach the boat trailer's towing strap to himself — which was his dad's idea.
As for the scooter, the boy says it was able to handle the two-way trip with half its battery power remaining.
"When it goes uphill, it has some problems, but downhill and flat, it pulls it fine," he said.
The trailer was attached to his belt!!!
And that's about a 7-mile roundtrip, by the way. You just can't keep a kid away from the water when the water calls his name, can you?
There's nothing like a little time out on the lake to ease the mind. The best part of each and every day is easily fish-on time, and with the level of commitment I'm seeing from this kid, I'm guessing he brought back a bucket full of fish for the freezer after this day was over.
Time to fillet those puppies up and get a few on the skillet!
