Seems like yesterday when you were plowing that driveway........man, do seasons go quick up North! I have really lost touch with seasons after living in eternal summer.

Agreed, I lost track of season's when I lived in Fla. 86-89. We went back to the hills and it was not Beverly. Lol. They do go by quickly up here, our best Summer weather came in September. It all down hill from here...

Headed to the dealer to see just how much damage was done. Good thing, the engine turns and wants to fire.

I don't know, with the boat being up for sale probably the best thing would be for it to be totaled.

As other's have said the electrical gremlins that could pop up down the line could be a real issue for someone (especially a new owner who wasn't expecting a swamped boat)

I’m hoping to not scrap the boat or sell it. Good thing with progressive is they will cover lifetime repairs as long as I own the boat. I would never sell a vehicle without fully disclosing the issues.

I finally found something in my neck of the woods to rival pump prices that @Ronnie sees. I wonder if this would give me a faster boat by not having so much weight in my wallet to drag around ??

$10 is a good price. 10+ years ago I used 110 in a 280lb (wet weight) carbon jet ski. With high compression it had some crazy acceleration.

A photo from back when I wore 5/4 wet suits and rode in really cold water temps. New York gets some crazy surf when storms pass through during cold months.

Living in a rural area, I got a kick out of this one that I saw yesterday:

My sister came into town from Ohio today, so we took her down to St Pete to Doc Fords Rum Bar and Grill for dinner.

Could be the last hot/boating weekend coming up. I’m planning to take a long Waverunner cruise up to old Sacramento (aka spend $300 in gas for a $50 to $100 meal). Looking forward to it.IMG_3515.png
 
We took my sister to Universal CityWalk in Orlando for lunch and to walk around. Spotted this at VooDoo Donuts. Also picked up a dozen for breakfast this weekend.

Here is my tow cost for a 3hr tour behind TowBoatU.S. Thankfully insurance covered 100% of the tow.
