Technically everything is edible once, and you can enjoy it the rest of your life!  :rofl2:

This has wheels and a gas motor so I'll post it.  Was taking pics of the son's build and I was right next to it so why not.  This unit is about 25 years old.  The owner is in his late 70's so maybe in the next 10 years I'll get it.  :D   Have Right of First Refusal.  It's a beach crawler.  Beach is mostly underwater presently but it doesn't know the difference. There is a platform (deck) attached on the other side to assist in boarding.  It's fantastic.

AS...did you see that new Sea-Doo Switch?

It's like a cross between a pontoon boat and a PWC..and it's infinitely customizable.  Just premiered last week.

I saw that, will likely be a hit as there’s more pontoons in the water now than regular boats.

I don’t think AS was speaking to the boat at all though, only the crawler it is on. Tahoe’s are a dime a dozen  :P.

I thought he had mentioned wanting a new boat or something...

saw an article on the news last night about BRP posting record sales and profits...the pandemic meant many people weren't spending money on vacations, etc, so a lot of people instead spent it on recreational vehicles...good for them.

I suppose till the motor reaches the water then it would naturally stall.  The motor that drives the main chain drive is just above the level of the bow and beside it is a seat and controls.  Typically you drive it into the water until the boat floats then get up off the seat and walk along a platform attached to the other side and then step into the boat.

That's clever.  My only negative thought would be the range.  Those Rotax jet ski motors really suck the gas on a seadoo let alone something that large.   Gonna need some big gas tanks.  I really like the tops.  Look really well designed.

Was very close to getting a Yamaha GP1800R SVHO because son gets 13% off dealer invoice from Yamaha but none could be found.  Yamaha upped the 2022s $1K for delivery next summer.  These are spur of the moment impulse buys so just as the weather cools so have I.  ;D    The insurance will add another $1K to my already large bill and I'll have to fill up my newly acquired portable gas station with 93.  I'm cheap that way.  :) 

Just did the build on the base wiener model @ $30K tax in which in today's world is pretty good.  Financing available for 15 years!  That Rotax will not be running in 15 years.  :rofl2:   It might if it was a Yamaha.

I think it's the worst of both worlds.

The reliability and fuel consumption with the handling of a pontoon boat. Granted the tri-hull is better, but it's still a pontoon boat.

Awww...(more) cute little mushrooms in the tree...same place they grew last year, but this time I'm going to leave them up for Brig's sake.


Edit:
Took a few more - in daylight this time.  Had others but at 6thirty in the AM the light's a little...light.  More clear...


Oh I wish I knew where or if we had a Smurf toy...






It's amazing how fast they come up.
