Yes, I load it into my 8 ft pelican boat and sneak it out in the dark when the neighbors aren't watching!:D Ok, you do it at night. Makes sense. I was just curious as I imagined someone in a paddle boat with an 8' Christmas Tree.:eek: I could actually get away with it where I live, however our canals aren't deep enough and when the dredger comes through in June that'd be the end of it, lol! It would be great to have though.
