Thanks... Kidder (whom I bought the boat from) really took care of it. I think if I were to order a boat, this would have been it. As for the S&S, thanks, I had a TON of work in her. It was hard to see it roll away. If I would have had the space I would have definately kept it. Talk about great "ski" boat.
Whoa... that's a grown-ups boat right there!Quote:

3) 2008 Moomba Outback, plays annually for the season at New Gate Sandy Shores, Koocanusa Lake, BC
Too many to remember....
Various pontoons that seemed to need some type of maintenance every time they left the dock :)
197? 65hp Merc on some no name boat
198? Rinker 75hp Merc
198? Yamaha WaveRunner
1988 Monark 115hp Sukuzi outboard
2003 SeaRay 182 BR - 190 Mercruiser
2010 SeaDoo GTS130 jet ski
2013 OBV -- best decision I ever made when it came buying watercraft!!
I learned to ski behind my dad’s 2nd boat, a late 60’s 15’ Crestliner with a 40 horse Johnson.
After a couple years he upgraded to a brand new 16’ Chrysler tri-hull with a 105 horse Chrysler outboard.
After college, marriage and moving back to the land of 10,000 lakes we purchased a 3 year old, 1985 18’ Larson runabout with a 130hp I/O.
Kept it until 2005 when we purchased a new 19’ Glasstron with a 220hp I/O.
The kids really started to getting into wakeboarding, barefooting, slalom, jumping and anything else they can find to do behind a boat, so last spring we found our current boat a 2007 Outback with 75 hours. Only wish we would have made the move to a ski boat sooner, the kids progressed more in one summer than the prior 3 summers combined.
16' StarCraft with 65 HP Merc
2 stand-up Kawasaki Jet Ski's (550 & 440)
Yamaha Waverunner 3

"And I don't forsee another boat for a LONG time, if ever."
I'm with ya on this.
I'm 8 months away from being totally debt free (remaining balance on mortgage) and I'd like to stay that way for the rest of my life.
Congrats! That is a fantastic achievement.
Thanks!
Wings and Yeungs at Buffalo Wild Wings are on me.
And just a FYI for you and Stacy...the Clermont Chain of Lakes is almost totally up to normal levels.
One can now travel the entire chain with an inboard.
This weekend I'll be walking down our boat ramp (in the water) to see if we can launch our boat. It looks like it's do-able. We haven't been able to use the ramps (1/4 mile from my driveway) since 2003.
yes great achievement, from one who bought a new house two years ago:(Quote:

Well, I got started early since I was very fortunate to live on a lake in northern Indiana growing up. My brother and I bought most of our boats together.
At 10 we had a red 14’ Rinker with old 40 hp Johnson motor
At 12 we moved up to a orange 14’ Glastron with 70 Evinrude
At 14 we got Purple Passion. A 16’ Glastron with 115 Evinrude. Purple metal flake, purple carpet, purple seats.
At 16 we moved to brown 1984 Glastron/Carlson 7 meter with 140 Evinrude
At 18 purchased our first real ski boat. 1980 Ski Supreme white with blue letters.
Then college, family and a move to southern Indiana happened.
Then I wanted my kids to love the water as I do
Bought a beautiful 1990 Supra Cobrio open bow
Then made the move to my 2007 Moomba XLV as we ventured into wake boarding and surfing.
The last chapter will be a MOJO once I get my wife behind one.
1956 century resorter sold
