Hey everyone the wife and I are contemplating about buying a second boat. We have a beautiful 2004 eliminator 250 eagle xp in storage in havasu that we use strictly for there but are thinking of getting a old school jet boat for parker and the lower river "blythe" has anyone else done this. Thank you all for you comments and suggestions ahead of time. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/boa/d/kachina-jet-boat-1986/6689470414.html

We have 2 and I’m looking for a 3rd. We have the 25 Daytona, and an OG 77 Ski Nautique that we picked up this year. I’m looking to get into a v-drive just not sure what yet.

It's my goal in life to own one jet, one v-drive one I/O, and one outboard. At the same time of course!

I have 2 now and soon to be 3. I have a big tritoon with rear loungers for Havasu and Powell and a jet boat for Blythe. I think we are on the same page.

On another note, I looked at that boat in Alpine about 3 months ago, you can pm me if you want to discuss.

One boat owner currently, but I could see myself buying an inexpensive boat for skiing, etc eventually.

2 boats....:D
Nope!
But, I like your style.
That Kachina actually looks pretty cool. A few years ago it was a $5k boat but in today’s market it’s 8
It does look pretty fun.:confused:

If you decide to step up the game I’d love to see Eliminator dust off the 19 or 21 Daytona. ;)
I’ll give you the special RDP discount on gel upgrades and everything:cool:

But, that little Kachina does look pretty fun for under 9 (thumbs up thingy here).

I own 3 boats. It’s a chore but it’s also an obsession. Wife hates it. But I beg for forgiveness often

My dad has a 21 foot blown vdrive we use to haul around, then at night or super busy weekends we get in his pontoon, then when the water is right we get in my flat. It’s the perfect trifecta haha now I’m lookin to add a outboard ski boat

And the Ultra will be my Lake Austin boat starting next year.

The cure is another boat, or bankruptcy....





But bankruptcy doesn't count.

29' Outlaw for Ocean and Havasu on big weekends. A 18' Jet boat for Avi, upper river and our local small lakes. A pontoon for the family reunion at Parker so I can carry up to 13 people and they can spill all the strawberry margaritas they want and I'll just hose it off later. Also 2 old boats with fins just cuz I like them. Yea, the DMV sends us Christmas Cards. lol

I'm not quite as bad as some, but worse than others. My primary affliction is of the automotive type. I have a 24' Flotilla, the family cruiser, and a 21' Commander open bow, family hot rod. The 21' is an '89, old school 454, Berkeley and Place Diverter. It was my parents boat, pretty much going to have to pry it away from me. Looking to build an old Mandella or Hondo...a floating metal flake engine stand for a talldeck project.
