Howdy guys and gals. Been a while! I'd like to run something by the crew and get opinions for and agin, preferably with some whys and why nots attached..
The admiral likes to go slow. The vice admiral and her friends are thirteen and like to go fast. I like to avoid hearing complaints (and slow is also my preference when on the lake). We've been making do with the 21' barge and ninety horse, but I pitched the admiral on something and she didn't say it was incredibly stupid. Here's what I have in mind. Sell the Suntracker for whatever I can and buy an old 24-ish footer with just enough power plant to push it between coves and spend the rest on a three seat wave runner type critter. Leave the barge in dry storage near our favorite lake and keep the ski in the back yard; tow the ski to the lake then go back for the barge. We'd use the wave runner for water sports of course and leave the barge in a cove for the usual party barge type pursuits. In theory we'd save gas both on the road and on the water. I would expect insurance premiums to remain about the same or possibly drop since I have pretty good insurance on the Suntracker and would of course only carry liability on an old barge.
There it is! Whatcha think?
