I didn't want a boat, the wife talked me into it . I wanted the 10 acres that came available behind my property to add to what I already have. The wife wants me to settle down and enjoy my life. I retired early, but i have young children at home and i want to spend the rest of my life enjoying them and my grandchildren from a previous marriage. So without much discussion , the wife wins, I don't need no more property. We went from looking and almost buying a pon/tritoon to a deck boat, and now jet boat. I think the jet boat will be the best fit for us. Anyways we live in northwestern Wisconsin and we have a 8 year old boy and 10 year old girl and a 160 lb Boerboel . Great dog by the way . I don't have the boat yet but I put down a deposit to order a 2022 year model ........leaning towards 212 S . Thank you for your time reading this. O'h and by the way , the reason for my screen name is because I have a supercharger on my F-150.
 
Welcome!

Your wife sounds like a wise woman! No doubt you will create a lot more memories with the children on the boat than with the extra property.

Thanks Jim, yes the wife knows I would like the property and my plans were to add some beef cattle on the property for our own consumption. However , I can still add beef cattle to what i have now. She see's me hobble around with both knees being replaced from years of construction and just wants me to " take it easy " as she says. My time with the kids would be the most important.
 
Welcome and good choice on the boat...you'll love it. This is a great place for info and support. She's smart..every time I mention upgrading or selling my wife tells me "no more talk"
Hope to see some pics when you take delivery.
