iaonbb, isn't there a pretty nice like to the north of you. i know it starts with a "h".
A few things to consider, #1 If you notice all the major inboard companies are doing very little with any changes to their direct drive. why, because they are such a small part of the market in new purchases. #2. Your resale down the road will be much higher due to the demand of people wanting vdrives for more room and wakeboarding.
Good luck with your purchase and welcome to the big family of Skier's Choice.

DB~ not sure what lake that'd be? We have Sterling Res up NE...there's also Glendoe in WY...also heard about a place called Navajo down south or on the CO/NM border somewhere...heard it's like a mini-Powell...I figure I have all Winter do do my research...heading to Chatfield today with my buddy and his 21' I/O :( gotta get my fix somehow lol!

iaonbb, It's Horsetooth. It is suppose to be pretty nice from what I have heard..
I think I heard that Chatfield is like a death trap......
Have fun and be careful.

aaahhhh yes, Horsetooth. I know it well. It is set in the foothils west of Ft. Collins. I lived up there for about 5 years, Mandmade, small, long and narrow. Not much better than chatfield. Both way overcrowded and too small. Good for an early monring run or tow but about 1.5 hours from me vs 25min to chatfield. That's the prob around hrere, all the lakes are death traps...darn, never thought I'd miss Iowa so much :0

I dont know about east slope lakes much, Navajo is pretty large and deep I have not been on it but have flown over it lots. Its Kind of arrowhead shaped and when the wind comes up getts pretty ugly. As far as a mini powell well the water is pretty warm (from friends) but it dosent have alot of narrows and canyons in it .....Just another lake.
Local Lakes here.
Sweitzer 10 min (for the quick fix/ evenings)
Ridgeway 1.1 hrs
Blue Mesa 1.6 hrs ( bit cold in the spring but not too bad this time of year Wind can be ugly though
Paonia 1.5 hours spring sking watch out for logs/trash good lake boat wakes cancel quickly
Crawford 1.5 hrs Nice lake can get too full though just depends.
High line 1.5 hours lots of boats weekends.... havent been on the weekdays
Powell the best it gets 5 hours and worth it!!
Navajo is around 3 hour drive but havent been.
Also I hear Vega is not bad but never been.

Well I sent one reply .... Not sure now where it went though. Yep I have a hard life.
So I will try again
Navajo is near Cortez Colorado SW corner of state. Its arrowhead shaped large and deep. No canyouns or such like powell but lots of room. Heads up when the wind blows though. I haven been there but flown over it lots and have friends who say it pretty warm.
Our local Lakes on the west slope
Sweitzer 12 mi good in the evenings or early mornings... stay away on the weekends.
Ridgway 40 mi nice very clean lake lots of room
Paonia 1.5 hours long and narrow/ wakes canel out quick, watch for logs/trask in the spring
Crawford 1.5 hr very nice lake Can get pretty busy though at odd times.
Highline 1.5 hrs pretty busy all the time
Blue mesa 1.5 hrs Huge lake kinda cool all year but not bad in the fall, wind can make it an SOB
And Navajo about 3 hrs (never been) as Lake powell is only 5 hours away !!!!!
