Must moved to New Bern in December 2018. Brought my 2 jet skis with me. After taking friends out with me riding behind my wife (I don’t like to ride back of jet ski) my plan to buy a boat in 2-3 year became a “boat needed now”. Jet skis are great for a quick outage to fly at 75mph and feel some freedom but the boat is the more social comfortable and versatile choice. So vote is boat for primary choice.
I look forward to meeting others here in New Bern. We bought a SC240. I have boated a lot on lakes 15 years ago. The sounds are definitely different. Had my first “storm out of nowhere” experience last weekend heading to Cape Lookout. Made it to anchor by the lighthouse and rode it out fine but was my first experience and was nail biting. Definitely investing in VHF handheld with weather. The Capr is one of my favorite trips, Glad I have a jet boat for the shallows but there is a pretty good channel path.
