Officially boat less What to do now

[robert843]

So in the last year I have gone from having two boats and two jet skis down to only having 1 ski. Sad day indeed I guess it's time to take a break and figure out what's next. The site has been a valuable resource and I thank you all hopefully once I get another boat later on I will swing back on to check on everyone and grab advice. Here she is off on her way to her new home in Ohio and I hope her new great owners will love her as much as I did.

I hated it when I didn't have a boat, so I bought a jet ski. Bought a boat, sold it, bought another then sold the ski.
Think I might sell this one so I can buy another , hope you don't miss it too much, see you soon.

Couldn't believe yours was up for sale for so long. New owner got a nice boat! Can't wait to see what you get next.

Hope you get what want for the new boat. If you're down my way I'll gladly take you out anytime.

While after my extended hiatus of being boatless for a whole 4 hours ( felt like an eternity) I officiall have a boat again nothing fun and exciting as I lost my battle but it will still be fun for a few years.

Four hours?!?

How did you do it?

Glad you are back on the water at least!

 

[2nazt]

Haha awesome man!

I made it less than a month between my two yamahas but four hours may be the new, non-overlapping ownership record! Congrats, great looking boat.

Damn Mike he got me too. @robert843 Damn nice boat! Really like the color combo.

 

[haknslash]

You got me too! Love the red hull and graphics on the AR! I've seen you asking questions and lusting about the new boats so I'm glad to see you got into one! Congrats

@swatski only thing I wish had done different is got the 2017 first and swapped my old MFI trailer for the shorelander it had the welded bow stop new radial tires and everything else but the leaf springs had already been completely redone. Still debating whether to throw this one up for sale and get a bad ass custom trailer since the shorelander is fully adjustable anyone can modify it to there needs. I really need to read into the carlisle tire swap my 100 mile tow home today I could feel the difference in my really nice 10 ply radials I had added compared to these carlisle bias ply

Gee @robert843, I hadn't even wiped the tears from my eyes before you bought another boat. Glad you're back with us. Have a great summer on your new boat.

@robert843 as the saying goes it is supposed to the "two days" plural/separate/multiple ... you have really messed up the prose, nice boat ... enjoy it!

"Well, it is said that the two happiest days of a boat owners life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it."

 

[Britboater]

Welcome to the AR gang . Boatless, just can't be done .

 

[jcyamaharider]

You all did better then me. I couldn't even go 4 hours, I owned 2 Yamahas at once.

Very Nice boat!!

Keep us posted if you find a better trailer - a swap to something nicer would potentially make a lot of sense for me.
I too have been pretty baffled by the Shitland'r trailer. Other than the fenders/brackets fiasco, one thing especially - it lacked grease almost everywhere it needed it, new! I also struggled to use a zerk for the leveler thingy, one of those just wouldn't work on mine.

I saw the thread, but i didn't know you got a new boat.. Congrats Man , the boat looks great...... Get the tabs for it i am telling you, you will regret not having them. They make a huge difference in our boats , at least in my opinion
