Any last minute rental's out there???

We got one....sort of. Well we called around to a bunch of different places and eventually ended up with a brand new 24' Toon boat from Winnisquam Marine (rental not purchase

). We've never boated on Winnisquam but I've always wanted to try it so we'll be trying something new. The folks over at Winnisquam that we delt with were extremely nice and very helpful. It was a complete different experience than we had with Bay Side.

One side question, it didn't say anything about not allowing dogs on rental boats but do you think they would mind us bringing our 3 dogs on the boat with us?
I'm not sure what the proper 'etiquette' for that is? I don't want to leave the dogs at the house for the day but I'm afraid to ask in case they say no

Thanks to all for your suggestions

Most places that rent pontoon boats do not allow pets on board. To me, they should allow them with an additional cleaning fee as I do understand their issues with wet dogs and hair on the carpet, it's a bear to vacuum it out!
