Go with the twin engine setup.....
1) Better manuverability, especially around the dock.
2) Redundancy is nice if you are in the middle of the lake and lose an engine
3) More horsepower
4) Generally, better re-sale
Good luck and enjoy!
My wife stuffs a dish towel in the top wooden slat opening which deflects the air towards the floor and keeps it from hitting you in the face when you are sitting in the dinnete seat.
At least on mine, the butane canister installation is almost idiot proof from the standpoint that if you don't have it installed correctly and fully seated, you will not be able to close the door holding the canister. There is a seal inside the canister receiver that is designed to seal off on...
Thanks, that makes me feel better. I agree on the location. The behind the boat thing is temporary until I get my seawall set-up finished. The swim platform is great though for loading and unloading passengers. I'll be out on Sunday. Hope you are able to enjoy this great weekend!
I'm a big Letterman fan, but he crossed the line on this one. I have no daughters, but if someone talked about my daughter like that (whether 14 or 18 years old), I would have an issue with it and probably go after them.

A buddy of mine has told me that I should be able to approve fuel economy by trimming the drives up about 5 degrees (1 or 2 notches on the gage). I tried that for a few...
I don't want to dismiss the personal accountabilty (how did a firefighter and policeman think they could qualify for a house like this on their incomes?), but shame on the reckless mortgage lenders for qualifying them and lending them the money in the first place. In this case the lender (GMAC)...
Wes, when I see pictures like that it's reaffirmation that, for those that can afford it, boating is one of the best family activities on the planet. You are creating family memories for you daughter that will last a lifetime. Enjoy!
Great information! Thanks. Not sure what you meant by the "Jason" days, but the PWC jib crane is still there. I used it last weekend to drop mine in the water.
Agree with you on the bottom painting. At my marina yesterday, I counted at least 10 jetski/waverunners that are moored in the water. I will try and speak with some of those owners this weekend to see if they have had any issues with gelcoat damage, electrolysis corrosion, etc.
