When I was akid my parents owned a small 21’ cabin cruiser. One off season my dad decided to trailer it home from the marina (50 mi away) so he could work on it in the evenings after work. I don’t think my siblings and I ever had as much fun in that boat while it was in water as when it was at the end of our driveway. It has simply the largest plaything in the neighborhood as well as the coolest clubhouse.
Never had a boat myself.
