Thanks!

Yep alive and well, on the water every weekend. Picked up the hobby of backpacking and go camping a lot (well did when it was cooler out) and even go camping on the ski.

I really do want another boat. I wish I still had my original H180 haha that was the best boat I owned



how the hell do you hike in FLORIDA the flattest place on the earth? slightly exaggerated statement. BUT STILL HOW!


We still have trails and stuff

The cuddy I want is not in my budget, it's what I wanted 4 years ago and they are still very expensive today. The Monterey 214 FSC. Cheapest I can find is 24k. It's the only cuddy I know of that has a rear sunpad. That's double the price for a same year Four Winns 205 Sundowner.

Reality?

No freaking idea. Anything from an H180, center console, or a seadoo speedster.

Launched my old V318 yesterday, in 44 degrees and pouring rain. Gotta love how wet this May is turning out to be! Very bittersweet. Finished up the deal in late March and the new owner officially took possession/launched yesterday.

That's Chris268 there in the back on that last picture, he was being anti-social and wouldn't come hang with us... :mrgreen: Gave us some excuse about not knowing the boat yet, and not wanting to pull up to us in the stiff wind we had, I tend to lean more towards him and the wifey being up to something.. :mrgreen:

That's awesome Jason. I don't want to screw up anyone's boat. And I don't want a nickname (here comes crash) :)

It was an awesome day for sure!

We were down working on our house this weekend and was amazed how much Shelbyville went up in 2 weeks. It was about as low as i've ever seen on our last trip down 2 weeks ago. Hopefully the rain tapers off & they can get it down some.

Got our boat out 2 weeks ago and have simply been cleaning. Illinois river is extremely high and our boat ramp will probably be under water through most of June. We will be heading to a lake before the river is ready to go.

I was even able to get the kids involved. They can't wait to get out on the water.
