Didn't want to do it but we sold our 248 yesterday after owning it for 3 years. I loved it but the family
didn't so much as I. Were getting a pontoon boat as its replacement for the lake which I suppose is more
practical.
I will miss it though as it was my lifelong dream to own a boat that you could sleep on. Heart wrentching to
see it pull out of the driveway. :(

Anyway I don't usually chime in that often, but I really enjoy this website and the "regulars" for info and
advice. Thanks to you all.

I still have my Horizon, it still runs and looks great and plan on keeping it for years to come. Thanks again
for all of you help w my Vista.

Even if it sucks, it's best to do what serves your family well.

I feel your pain. Our boat is for sale for the same reason. Wife is just not into it as much as me and it is a lot of work with two small kids.

That pontoon boat was more my speed however mine will be about 550 hp less. I could see that guys credit
card melting as he advanced the throttle. Pretty cool!

LOL! I see my wallet get a little thinner every time I put my SS on WOT but it's such a rush it's hard not to do a couple of times during a trip. I am glad to see that the saying about the two happiest days in boating being where you buy and sell your boat are not correct in your situation. I hope you find the pontoon boat that will make your family happy albeit with much more reasonable power. Have fun and get out on the water.

Why would you want a pontoon if you already have a boat? Inquiriing minds want to know.

I would/will rather have a larger cruiser and keep it in the ocean "someday". My wife is enamored w a pontoon boat in that
she can take it out by herself unlike the 248. She can "slowly" cruise the lake w her friends, and the boys seem to be
taking an interest in it as well. It's much more practical in our lake than the 248 ever was, but I never really was
concerned about that.

I'm keeping the horizon cuz I like going fast, tubeing w my boys and having fun plus its paid for and still looks and runs
great for 14 years old. I also really like the how easy the outboard engines are to take care of vs I/Os. Its a relatively
rare bird.

Sounds like a plan.

Just goes to show you, a man needs more than one boat.

I find myself in want of a PWC. Preferably a TS1000 Tigershark. Go figger.
