We have a place in a park community at Tablerock Lake in Missouri. We have a Gator CX that has been fine but open belt drives don't like backing too far down the boat ramp when we are putting in our two person fishing/sailing kayak. Just started looking and thought the 520 would be a great improvement without being overkill. Couldn't even find one within an hour of St. Louis to look at. Found one in Harrison AR that was sold but wasn't being picked up until the weekend of our next lake visit. Only a half hour to check it out and decide to put a deposit on their next scheduled one coming in the end of April. And it was Reactor Blue which was my wife's first choice.
Really looking forward to reading up on maintenance and accessories.

It seems funny having a blue product from Big Red but I like the blue also. My wife says it is so pretty she won't need to cover it with brewery and distillery stickers. Unlike the Gator which has half of the green covered to keep it from being so obnoxious.

I like that. Maybe my wife would consider "driving" down the boat ramp rather than backing down.

Welcome to the club, I’m just north of STL. The Pioneer 520 looks like a good machine for your needs.

Hollister at the end of Highway P. So Harrison is quicker than Kim City or Springfield. We have a number of neighbors in our little community from AR.

It came in a month ago but we couldn't make it down to pick it up until Saturday (5/22).
Our lake place neighbor from AR brought his SXS up and we did a little break in playing.
Wife is very happy with the purchase so let the accessorizing begin! Hard top is still on backorder until later in June.

Probably won't be trailering it much so I was glad the simple mods to the trailer tailgate didn't require a trailer upgrade.
The low sides allowed the front tires to hit before the front bumper and it sits high enough for the door to open above the side rails.
