I've been in seas like that. Watched the entire bow of our ship go under water. So rough you could only sleep on the floor.Another jetboater crossing to the Bahamas?

Ha! You most certainly did. Boat is now on the lift and awaiting good weather. We wanted to go out today, but the sun decided to hide and the wind kicked up pretty significantly.Due to proper observance of traffic laws (hands free phone) I can't show you, but I saw @Troch1 today while he was bringing his boat South and I was going North.
That is Insane, you could live in a mini mansion right on damn near any lake in the Midwest for that priceI saw this on a house in my neighborhood yesterday. My home is about the same size and both are roughly 50 years old. If I wasn’t living this I would not believe what it costs/is worth. I could sell, buy my next home outright with cash if it’s somewhere from away from work and probably not someplace I would like to live.

I went with the same brand, size and rating “D”, still the highest capacity available in that size, nice additional peace of mind.New trailer tires, to be mounted and balanced this week.
I was toying with the idea of going to R15, 225/75R15 has a lot more choices, but concluded it is just not worth all the work involved and probably marginal, if uncertain, benefits.

No chair, yet. I may get something figured once I know how I use it most, right now I use it mainly for docking, throwing lines, and to get some salt breeze in my face; that second station can not be operated in any natural, or comfortable, position - it's very awkward. That said, it's the best option on this boat, it's super cool, makes me smile anytime I use it.@swatski No chair outside?
