Glad I'm not there. All I see is lost terrain back there.

Supposed to be 57 and sunny on Sunday (air temp)......I'm considering taking the boat out in the afternoon.......water temp is still in the mod 50's though, so nothing but a mild cruise around the lake to make sure the boat survived the winter.

Be another few months (mid-May) before it's warm enough to get in the water, and mid-June before it's comfortable. Lots of other boating though, and watersports start when the air hits 70deg with a wetsuit

Taken just a few days ago. I'm not ready to hand up my helmet just yet. And YES - boost is not only good for the boat, but it's good for the sled too!!!

Nice sled man.
What do those run for engines now

Mine is the SR Viper, which is essentially the same 1049cc triple used on the jetboat side. Runs 130-ish hp stock. Mine is boosted (turbo) up to 190hp. But the new Sidewinders have turbos from the factory. They run just over 200hp in stock form, but guys have been running the up towards 300hp with the help of the aftermarket.

Do like that tho. Boating in the summer, snowmobiling in the winter time.
