It's on lake Helen near rosholt. They still had snow when I went up to look at it. Gotta let that melt off before I can go get it.

Been talking boats since 530 with poptart. Shes not in love with the layout of the crown line we looked at yesterday.
I showed her some pics of smaller CC's and a couple different styles of RIBs...

May suit her needs a little better. It's a total pita for her mom to get into the current boat. Has to step on cushions, etc.

The search is on!
Hard to believe they are offering her basically what she paid for the current boat. Values are insane.....

I think its be a good move to sell her current 2013 while it's still worth the $$$$.

And you know my answer to this is going to be… She needs a deck boat. They are versatile and travel faster than pontoon boat’s, but can be treated like a pontoon boat and still ski behind it with enough power.

The crown line we looked at yesterday was kind of a deck boat. It had features she liked, but a huge drawback was no windshield on the passengers side. The drivers side windshield sucked too...


She boats to the bitter end. Needs a spot to get out of the cool fall temps.

It needs to be a manageable size for her to deal with while shes alone also...
20-21' is about the max.

Watching the pelicans. One out on the rock island appears to be sitting on a nest?

Bring yours. We can get the little eggbeaters fired up and have a race. :cool::D

With any luck, we can talk your wife into taking pics of the whole mess for rdp. :p:p

Will throw it past her and see what sticks, but sounds like a grand time. What can go wrong with an Easter Tippy tinny Shitbox race?

Ya know, I was just thinking. Someone's been conspicuously absent lately.
