yeah man Cheetos are actually not allowed but I had a buddy who came and it was his first time out. he said he would bring some snacks and I didn't even thing to search his bag. I noticed them as I was snapping the pic. I didn't have the heart to take them away but I did toss the girls overboard for a bath when they were finished😜

We were running 3200 lbs total. The new 1433 prop we put on Friday Night and we were testing had NO problems at all yanking outta the hole and plaining out! It didn't even phase it!

Like hearing that...we installed the 1433 this winter and have been looking forward to seeing how it performs.

My daughters wondered why I took a picture without the boards on the racks.

I brought this boat home a few weeks ago from Lake Belton. Is that anywhere near you?

Beautiful, isn't it? It's normally more green than brown. However, we have had several days of rain and that tends to cloud it up alot. This is a small creek that runs behind my house. It's called Chigger Creek and dumps into Clear Creek, which leads to Clear Lake. Needless to say, none of them are very "Clear".

Wow! You a lucky man. The 1 hour I spent on that lake test driving this boat was impressive. I have had to resort to the "chocolate water" of my creek. We have some property on the Pedernales River between Austin and Marble Falls. But, there is no water...Boat houses sitting on dry ground.

Now I understand why it is so imperative you guys down there wipe your boats down immediately at the end of the day...

The upside of that is that it has been warm enough to have been on the water EVERY weekend for the past 5 weeks...without wetsuits.;)

Yep. Clear Lake is brackish. Up where we are the salinity levels are really much lower. I was a little apprehensive at first. But, I have been ANAL about clean up after each use. My thoughts are, I will do all I can to fend off the elements and have a DANG good time with the boat and my family and friends.

I have a good friend that just bought a brand new Mojo and he is out every weekend. There are LOTS of $75k+ (X45, Wake Setter, SAN) boats on the creek every time we are out. I'm sure some have freshwater cooling, but I'd bet most don't.

I hope my boat will last many years. If it doesn't, I hope when it dies we had a helluva time on it.

:cool:

Most important thing is just a good, really good engine flush after every weekend. You just don't want that water sitting in the engine and exhaust all the time.

Barely and nope, back at the office.

I don't think i've seen one of the center consoles on the water. I always thought it was an oddball inboard.

Lots of boats on the coast are inboards (not Mastercrafts though). Very reliable and efficient way to move a fishing boat.

The boat we chartered in key west was an inboard. I thought it was strange myself, I was expecting an outboard set up.

The master craft center consoles have also been weird to me too but kind I neat at the same time. Go fishing and wakeboarding on the same boat

An outboard motor is pretty expensive. If you have an old inboard and can get car motors from the junkyard you can run an old inboard for years. Can be very cheap for a long long time.

Wish I had something to contribute but still out of commission. Oh wait, how about this scored off eBay after losing out on auctions for about 2 years running...

Uh oh. That's gonna double your chances of nailing that 360. You're going to like that board. First ride might be a surprise but then it gets real fun.
