Two new rides

[Part-time]

I traded my old Dodge pick up for a j-craft with a 100 johnson last week.
I had a deal lined up to trade the boat and motor for a 150 black max for my deck boat but that deal fell through...
So after a week of seeing my boat sitting in the driveway my neibour asked me if we could try it out.
-4 deg. C (0 deg.C = 32 deg.F for those that don't do metric) and we launched her anyways.

And even though my wife doesn't believe me... This one just followed me home!

Somehow they never believe that one...don't know why. I wish I could find a boat that'll just follow me home like that...

Yep, my wife is too smart too. However, she did let me buy the 4 boats I have.

Re: Two new rides

The one that followed you home kinda looks like a Sidewinder. Care to elaborate ...?

"The one that folowed me home" is indeed a Sidewinder.
It's a 1973 18 SS with a recently refreshed Olds 455 and a Berkeley Jet.
I am the 2nd owner.
The J-Craft with the 100 Johnson just left my driveway tonight.
It got traded for a terra jet 4x4, a 14' aluminum and some $$$.

Curious what the Terra Jet is going to be used for? I've looked at them in the past, but only in dream mode.

It's going to be used for snow removal this winter. It has a 60" plow on the front of it.
Other than that it's just a toy that can plow through 3' of mud
