Who's got boats?!

Brandon what are you looking to spend (top dollar)? I have seen about 15 boats for sale down here in Red Wing this year that are mostly all still for sale. Everybody is selling their boats because of gas prices which I understand because I can burn up 60 bucks worth of gas on a Jet-Ski in about 4 hours, those big boats are every worse.

However if you got a decent open bow with a Honda 50hp outboard you could go for days on 5 gallons of gas. There are other options, but if you want any kind of speed with a boat its going to be expensive.

We have a couple new Sea-Doo RXPs that we ride down here in Red Wing on the Mississippi River all the time. My girlfriends brother and I go wakeboarding about 4 times a week when weather permits. Jet Skis are way more multifacited than people give them credit for. Most of the newer largers ones can pull water skiers and what have you.

Sure if you are just going to use them to whip circles on a lake then it would get boring.

I would get a Jet Boat if I had al little more cash and something to tow it around with. The Jet Skis are small and easy to put in and out.

I will be living about 30 miles to the east of Red Wing in about 2 weeks. I hear the river is a good time and I plan on bringing my boat down there quite often. But yes, gas prices are horrible with most boats. My 90hp Johnson on an open 17ft Sylvan can suck down a 35 gal tank in a day no problem if you are pulling tubers and skiers(sp?).

Mitsustyle boat outing??

Well, after talking with everyone, it sounds like the other guys who want to go in, want to wait maybe until this winter when boats are cheap, so we have one for next summer. But we are looking to spend at a max, 10k probably. And 10k would have to be the perfect boat, otherwise we're looking more around 8k.
