▲ 2 r/boats

Wife finally gave me the go ahead to buy. Now to narrow down the search!

Wife and I both grew around the lake and have been wanting one of our own for some time. However, we have two young kids and weren’t sure if it was a good idea. Kids proved to us a few weeks ago, on a lake trip with a group of friends, they take after their parents and enjoy the lake and boating! Was given the approval to start the search for ours own.

My buddy has a Cobalt R6, it’s everything I’ve wanted for years and I love it. However, we’ll have to trailer the boat to every location. That boat is a little bigger than we’ll need and is certainly out of our budget. So I’m looking for something that style around $40k range. Boat will primarily be for cruising and swimming. Of course some tubing and skiing behind.

Not ruling out any brands or certain sizes or age at this time. We’ll likely be staying around Oklahoma, but head to the ozarks and north Texas occasionally.

I’ve been looking at marketplace, boat trader and pop sells for weeks looking. Was curious if anyone might be able to give me some more specific to keep and out for over the coming months. Or maybe brand/models they might work best for used and budget.

Thanks!

Adhesive removal from paint?

My truck was backed into, took it to a body shop and was repaired. A few weeks go by, a 4 of my 4x4 badge on the tailgate was hanging off. I popped it off before I lost it and called the shop. They told me to swing by and they’ll get it fixed. They used the adhesive attachment because it was left in the truck.

3 months later, the other 4x fell off. So now I just have a 4 on my tailgate.

My question is, can I use a normal heat gun/fishing line technique to get this stuff off? It feels solidly on there now and don’t want mess up the paint lol. Debating if I should debadge it and call it a day (if possible), or take it back to the shop again. Only this time I don’t have the pieces to put back on.

WTB/WTTF: Jada dub city big ballers 1/18 Yukon.

Looking for a Jada Yukon 1/18 or 1/24 with spinners to gift to a client who had one years ago. Doesn’t have to be new or perfect. But I know he’d love it. Doesn’t have to be the black one, not sure what colors are out there.

WTB: Traxxas Slash 1/10

Have a project I’d like to try, and want my first iteration to be on a cheap running 1/10 slash. Doesn’t have to be pretty or perfect, just need a complete running chassis hopefully with a remote. Body doesn’t matter, won’t use it. Don’t care if it’s 2wd or 4wd. Just one that i can toss a battery in and go.

Located in the lower Midwest.

Modifiers Diehard Here. WTB Modifiers that I don’t have.

Looking for any and all X-Concepts Modifiers that I don’t have. Loose or packaged, damaged or perfect. Doesn’t matter.

Can buy or trade for. US preferred, but will hear out international shipping. Prices are so subjective, so let’s talk about it.
