Re: 2 boats better than 1 ???

Would you be getting a slip for both? or just one and trailering your Formula?

We have had overlaping boats/ 2 boats at a time, I recall my tinny/ and my parents sport boat when I was in Highschool. We also had the jet boat and sea doo at the same time...

It works best if you have a dock for both or they have specific purposes.

I currently moor the Formula 242, as there are no slips my local harbor. I could go up 1 or 2 harbors (10 minute drive) and slip the bigger boat there, I suppose . . . I'd have to figure that into the expense equation.

Getting a second mooring in my local harbor may take a bit of work as it is run by the town and they seem to love waiting lists. I only waited a couple of years to get my first mooring, 'cuz I knew somebody, but others have waited 5+ years.

I guess it would depend on which boat I used the most . . . I could possibly moor the bigger boat and trailer the '242.

Wow I'm in the same boat so to speak! Yea she's making me sell the smaller one she figures a 42' and a 21' are just trouble and I'll never be home, so I will sell the 21', Oh and the determining factor is which one is paid for! good luck

We have 2 boats and a jet ski, with the plan to get a 3rd boat sometime in the near future. We keep a cheap bass boat for fishing and getting near the shorelines, the Mark Twain for the skiing/tubing, and the jet ski for quick runs to the lake with just a friend or two in tow. The jet ski also provides a bit of relief from the ski boat when many people are on board (lets others go play while everyone else hangs out). We are still looking for a 28-30' cruiser to add a possible overnight option and a "base of operations" for getting out of the sun for a bit now that we sold the lakehouse.
