The 3rd row stays down to hold plenty of gear, and gets 28mpg on the highway, and can pull the boat.

Considering where your profile says you're located.....That's funny right there!
I lived in Texas once upon a time. Didn't leave anything there so I have no reason to ever go back. lol
 
In my city we have a restriction on full-sized vehicles. It would take about 15-20 years for me to get a permit for one. Therefore I drive what most people here drive... a golf cart (the Dr. Bill Mobile)

Soccer Mom Van (2000 Honda Odyssey) with the right side second seat removed. Easy to load/unload equipment through the cargo door. With the equipment loaded there, the weight distribution is right on the CG. Also, very easy to sit down to don and doff the gear.

I just sold it :-( as it having too many issues I did not want to deal with: Air conditioner, amp drain, window and one cargo door not working. The engine was still going strong with no oil usage even after 250K miles though.
