Don't get me wrong - I get it about sailing, and I've enjoyed the three years of sailing on my Santana 35, which is now for sale. But I just decided, and the rest of the family agrees, that it would be fun to go faster for a while.
See if it were me I'd keep the sailboat and buy a couple wave runners But to each his own

As for the original poster, I second the suggestion to follow the link in SD's signature. Also, if you need to post a link or pic you will need to have 10 posts. Take a trip over to the Song Chain thread in the Off Topic area and post a bunch to get your count up.

Once you're over 10 post a few pice of what you have so we can get an idea of what you have ahead of you.
