Toys include tube, wakeboard, tow lines and floating chairs. Ready for immediate family fun on the water at a great price for a really nice boat. The above is my Husband's description. Here's my two cents worth.We bought this boat in 2001 from the original owner, who had stored it since purchase indoors. He owned multiple boats and, literally, used this boat only occasionally to take his Grandchildren out on the water for a day of fun. When we bought the boat, we had three children of our own - all under age 10. They enjoyed the boat, but did not love it. And because we purchased the boat specifically for family use, it saw very little use - only in the summer months and NEVER out more than 10 times in a year for short trips. My husband took wonderful care of it nonetheless, better care than we take of our cars - washing after each outing, waxing yearly, routine oil changes and yearly winterization. Frankly, the kids thought we spent as much time washing the boat as riding in it. As our children have gotten older, we have used the boat less and less every year, but my Husband held out hope this would change. It has not, and the financial outlay for our RARELY-used boat is now needed for college tuition. Unfortunately for us, the boat has never had an hour meter so we don't have an hours "reading", but it must be - it has to be - low - very, very low.Sorry, but no trailer, We had no need for a trailer so did not have one.
