Ha, looks like fun. What size engine does it have. More power scotty!!!

I needed dual engine Jet drives though to clear the river rocks and for redundancy.
I had to get home on one engine already when one jet sucked up someones underwear.
Damm swimmers, always getting in my way :D

You are in Destin? I am up here in MD but as a kid every vacation was spent in Destin. I love that place.

I have been going to Destin for the last 32 years. Now both my parents live there a mile away from each other.

How highly would y'all suggest destin? My sister recently moved to Texas and while she has been flying here to go to Hilton head, charleston, and the outer banks. We have been thinking about both driving to destin.

heliguy,

I live in GulfShores/Orange Beach. if you are ever in this neck of the woods we should grab lunch or coffee. I don't see to many pcars around here unless we drive to Fairhope.
Like the new speed boat. We just got a pontoon boat and if I am not in the Boxster we are on the water.

It has a 25hp mercury on it. It's called a Mercury Water Mouse...Google it. picked it up for a song and it's in perfect shape. It's only 10.5 feet long and holds 2 people. I like your Seadoo.

heliguy 06-26-2014 12:52 PM

Here's the size of it next to my other toy.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1403815887.jpg

Nice. And the boat's OK too.

10 footer is nice - 12 footer is better - then a 14 footer is better - then a 16 footer is better and so on and on.

This from the guy that has a 21 footer.....

I'm proudly at 41'4" (and no one ever complains about the 4"). Twofootitis is a terrible thing. But I do love me some Destin! I've towed a wakeboard boat down from St. Louis twice. I need a vacation!
