What is this nonsensical crap???
HAHAHA the Virginia Fleet!!! One is a close friend (@T. Hardee ) the other (the one on a ski) is an "online friend". lol That was the original plan, Trent and his wife were going to ride with me, but now I think I have him convinced to replace his current boat (Southwind Hybrid deck boat) with a Yamaha Jet Boat!!! lol If anyone is interested, hit him up its not posed in the classifieds but send him a PM if you want a second boat in your fleet!!! lol
So you have the glass bottom and toon top? I’ve seen one of those locally I believe. What’s the top end on those and what’s it worth?
@Ramblin Wreck yes, modified V-hul bottom and toon top. With 5 people onboard we cruise around at about 32@4700 rpm. The value differs depending on condition. Average price for a 2007 is between $17-$21k. those are the prices I’ve been able to find locally.
I appreciate but I doubt it will come to that.
Virginia Fleet LOL I love it. In 2018 we actually had NJ boats and NC boats, so it is about time Virginia gets its own fleet.
I need some more jet ski's out there with me in 2019, get the old SeaDoo ready...

@Sandbar29910 , That would be awesome, I am running a 2018 Rxt-X 300 and sending the wife across on the fairy.@Tony Walters - the old girl is the 09 Challenger 230 - my ski is a 18 RXT 230 so I might just do that instead if the better half doesn't mind taking a back seat
The boat may take more money to get ready - it's pretty much a sandbar/river rat down here.
Crossing with a passenger is a real challenge, especially when the water is less than perfect. 4 or 5 hours of pounding waves will wear out even the toughest....@Tony Walters - the old girl is the 09 Challenger 230 - my ski is a 18 RXT 230 so I might just do that instead if the better half doesn't mind taking a back seat

The ferry is less than $300 round trip. If we’re youbi would defiantly take the ski. Much cheaper that way@Tony Walters - the old girl is the 09 Challenger 230 - my ski is a 18 RXT 230 so I might just do that instead if the better half doesn't mind taking a back seat

I have crossed to Bimini and Abaco on a ski I will gladly runs someone elses ski across if needed lol. I do pick up my new ski tomorrow but I don't think I will be taking it to the Bahamas next year unless its just a short weekend trip or something.
