Thanks for the kind words gents.

I’ll still be posting here and there. Just a temporary hiatus. 8-)

Yes, thank you for the contributions. I've been able to benefit much in the short time I've been here. Good luck on the next adventurous chapter. Glad you'll still be contributing.

BTW....Speed Racer looks like it could pull arms out of the sockets of any boarders or skiers. 😆

We just did the same thing A7. Well sorta.. We haven’t used our R5 much in the last few years, maybe 20-25hrs per year so we started thinking about selling it. My uncle heard we were thinking about selling it and he showed interest in buying it, he has been looking for the last few years but with the new Covid pricing he hasn’t bought anything. We made him an offer that he couldn’t refuse that includes visitation rights for us to still use it on occasion. We did get near what we could have sold it outright for but we can still use it at times. He has a lift on lake Minnetonka so it will be kept on the lake and we will just have to push a button to lower it in the water.

For now I am going to keep my trailer as he doesn’t want or need the trailer. We will be purchasing something in the future but just not sure when. The trailer can just sit in our shed and wait for the next boat. Our kids are getting older and busier so we hate to have our boat just sitting in our shed.

For now our R5 is still in our shed as he has to sell his 226. I’ll be listing it in the for sale section here soon.

I know the feeling. I'm the same way but it doesn't owe me anything so why sell it. It only cost me 1500 bucks this last weekend. Lol don't ask me Wray happened.

Anyways your the admin so I'm sure you will be around.

I can't believe A7 will be without a boat for long. He does have that great BMW to tow something.

A7–congratulations and I’m sorry as both are applicable. You’ll figure out the right live and will always have a chip and a chair here

Well... i'll let you stare at the lake for another week or two...grow a little sad...a little fond of what was... then i'll give you a call :). By then, you might be ready for a trip on the river. Eric might need a day with the guys also...
