So I have sold my 10 meter and I am deciding what to get next.
My initial thought was to get a sea ray sun dancer and relax and I thought the wife would want to get a ski boat since she likes to ski. We talked and I think we have found some common ground to get another fountain.
Here is my dilemma i sold my dually earlier in the year bought a 2014 silverado high country 1/2 ton and the wife said we are not going to loose our a** on the new truck so buying a new 3/4 or 1 ton is out so thus leads me to my boat problem.
I could go back to a 29 that I could tow with the current truck , but the guy in me wants to have at least close to what I had a newer 35 I really want a 42 but the max I can fit in my garage is a 38 which I could be happy with.
The only problem I have with some of the 29's I looked at is that people are asking what people are asking for 35's.
Sorry for rambling just looking for opinions.
Thanks Rob

Yes I had the crazy painted 10 meter.
I tow about 8 miles to the Ohio river which is where I do most of my boating but I go to Cumberland a couple times a year. My new truck is supposed to tow 9500lbs and I have moved the 10 meter with it but I don't want any problems towing especially if I am overweight and have an accident and insurance won't pay way too much to lose to chance that .

My 32 was 11-11,500lb on the trailer. A twin 29 wont be far behind that. Would not be a fun tow to Cumberland w/ a 1/2 ton.

My insurance company made me sign a waver that my truck is rated to tow my weight.

I have my 32 fountain and my 39 mainship on ebay. You can have both for around 60k. Makes you and the wife happy! I want a 42 or 47.

How about getting a good deal on a 35/38, and picking up an older dually for around 5-6k, and just use it to tow the boat around when needed.
