Whats that tall thing ahead of you that looks like a spaceship. So cool.
Spaceship? I’m thinking its like a antenna tower or a repeater Needle.

How are you enjoying twins!! I’m glad you got that R30 ! Perfect color combo and yes we want pics and a captains report!!!

Still getting used to the twins! This is only the second time we took it out so lots to learn on boat handling, especially docking. Just got our first $400 fuel bill for a partial fill up, but man can this thing get up and go! Family is liking more space over the A25 and it should be a lot smoother on the choppy days.

Definitely smoother and as far as docking goes just practice. You’ll find that you will soon not ever touch the wheel. Almost like driving a tank in the controls.
No parking spot will be tough to get in or out 😎

Yeah the wife's head about exploded the first time we filled up at the marina with $400 plus for fuel. Suddenly she got a lot more interested in the technical details of the boat:
(A) How much fuel does this damn thing hold?
(B) How much fuel does the GD thing use when we take it out?
(C) Why is marina fuel more expensive than at the gas station?

But at that point we already owned the boat and I made sure there was no return policy. :D :twisted:

I developed a new plan after that. I fill up the boat before it gets to half a tank... half the cost...right? :roll: Apparently $200 is more tolerable.

Lucky John didn't include a Barf emoji.

Congrats on the boating.

You have to pay to play with the big boys. Just tell her you only have to fill up once a weekend now instead of twice.
