Well, Kerry and I have talked about it for a while and finally pulled the trigger almost 2 months ago. We decided to get a boat so we could have some room to carry things and friends or relatives. I have had the jet ski for about 2 years now but it is limited in carrying anything. I have a blast on it when I am riding it but the boat will be more practical. Don't get me wrong, I am not planning on getting rid of the jet ski as of yet so we'll see what happens in the future with that.
The boat is a 2001 Maxum 1800 SRL 4.3 Mercruiser. I think 18' is a good all-around size for just 2 or up to around 6 people. Kinda sucks on the gas from what I can tell but it gets the job done. The guy who owned it before apparently took care of it pretty good so there is not a whole lot that is needed to be done other than cleaning. Kerry and I have already done most of that and will continue to keep it clean.
