Default Sell 2005 Bayliner 175, and get PWC ?

Having some crazy thoughts lately, so do I need smacked?
Ok, so I got my new 2005 Bayliner 175 last June, and had
a blast with it last year. I'm a single man with no kids, and of
course last year, everybody was my friend, and did a lot of
boating with the neighbors, and even had the ex on the boat
a few times. anyways, took it out yesturday for the first time
this year, and also had fun. But the whole thing has me
thinking lately. Neighbors all too busy to go out boating
with me, ex is not really into it, and a lot of my friends arn't
into boating ("that" much). Me? well, I love speed, period.
I love my Bayliner, and I love it when I do get out on the
water, but taking the 175 out by myself each time is a lot
of work, and a real chore to back it up in the driveway
which has only +/- 4-inches of chearance. Soooo.

I been thining (*very* wild hair) about the possibilities
of trading the 175 in on some sort of higher end PWC.
Either a 1,2 (3?) seat Sea Do, or Yamny jet ski or something.

Is this a crazy idea? Will I lose my shirt on a trade in?
I'd like to still get out on the lakes here in the great
NorthWest, I should be still able to do that, right ?
What is the range of one of these? Can I do 20 miles
on a tankfull ? How well do they do in light chop?

Could a PWC be an adaquate substitute for the 175?

Thanks for any thoughts/dialogue on this notion.
