There's one at Sam's right now for like $280. Like the Lily. I think 6x12 or 6x15. Can't remember. I think I got it for like $220 last year when it was on coupon.

Best lily pads is using someone else’s when it’s rolled out.

I got tired of hauling ours around was glad when a friend wanted it.

That's why I won't get one.

Don't. Really. It's always on the pontoon. Gets used very little yet has seen all the lake rolled up

Lilly Pads are great when they are out and being used. It's the other 95% of the time when they are nothing but a pain in the ass.

I like the idea of the inflatable platforms, but all they seem to be to me is another expensive extension of the OG pain in my ass.

I can't stand lily pads....our lake has a bunch of small beaches, you get a couple people with 15' lily pads and the whole shore is taken up and they arent even being used half the time, just floating there taking up space..

This Damn Lilly Pad

A few years back my wife insisted we buy a Lily Pad. I hate the damn thing but the kids and the wife love it. Of course they don't have to transport it to the lake and deal with strapping it somewhere on the boat to get it to a day beach so yeah, great time for them.... (little rant) So when we...

We still have ours, but we take it out a lot less these days. I figured out a good way to transport it on the back of my motor home when we run out to Pirates Cove. That seems to be the only time we use it now. We don't transport it on the swim step with the new boat. Bought an extra anchor just for the lilly and the other floaties after the winds caused havoc on us last year. When I build my carport for the boat, I put hangers on the back wall just to keep the dang thing up and out of my way.

We have an inflatable it’s great and I’ve made a strap to really get it small for storage.

I have a Lili Pad…..They are a pain in the ass! I always have my wife roll it up lol

We use a "cheap Chinese" inflatable gymnastic pad that uses the same materials and inflation method as a paddle board. I can fold/roll it at the end of the day in about 5minutes with the 12V pump in "deflate" mode and it takes up very little space.

THIS!!!! Few neighbors out at the river wanted to buy one and split the cost. I told them I would pay for the whole thing if I NEVER had to touch or store it. It has worked out great for me... they all HATE dealing with it and argue over who is gonna store it this summer, hahahahaha.

I got this inflatable one ($700 during rona). I now have 2 Lilly pads available for free if anyone wants them. These store much easier and are solid as a rock. We set coolers, food, drinks, chairs, etc. on it.
