Jet boat newbie

[Wrigman]

At 62 I am new to boat ownership. I ended up buying a 1998 Alumaweld Stryker not running. Thought I could get it running myself, after all, I have worked on two stroke motors since I was a kid. Long story short, couldn’t do it. Had to repower. I will give the story on the Sport jet page(nuff said right?). We live in north Idaho, with the largest lake in the state half a mile from our driveway, so had to have SOMETHING to be able to get on the water with. Anyway hope to be an asset to the forum.

We've lived near water for years too and boating is our way to have mini "stay-cations" every week and get away from the rat-race.

I just turned 62 myself. Got my 2022 AR190 in December. First boat I ever owned, trailered, backed, driven, docked, etc. Been out ten times already. Loving it. Never too old to start.

I'm 66 and bought my boat last year for my retirement. I had boats in my 20's and 30's. Been a long time. Enjoy, it's never too late.
