I haven't even played with the graphic but damn $1000 sticker is crazy! I agree you have to really take care of any option and this is why my wife didn't want to learn to dock and trailer the old boat. She always said "I don't want to be the first one to scratch it!" Thank goodness I had my trial driving on my dad's old boat and the wife got decent instruction.Quote:
They look great, but one "ding" and they are tough to fix and stand out.
I can relate except I am the owner so I had no choice, my LSV had some dock rash on the stickers, so off they came. The Mojo I originally Plasti Diped my MOOMBA because it was only Chrome and I wanted black. Couple bumps is all it took to redo that.Quote:

I used a game i created when teaching Claudia and a couple buddies to drive.
I took a football and we would under way like a rider was being pulled. I would randomly through the ball out say RIDER DOWN!!
Now the goal was to be able to come back and grab the ball over the side of the boat.
The trick is you approach too fast, the water will push it away, come in too slow, well there is no too slow docking LOL.
Trailing, best way is go off season, back off the trailer, do a circle to turn around and go slow slow slow. All you have to do is get the nose in, the boat will self center and be able to trailer up. Just takes practice as I am sure you are aware.
this all sounds and looks great.
For me I would not want the GPS option. We run the IL River and if you change directions up and down river a lot you are constantly changing speed settings (windy day running a short back water). Unless there is now an option to turn the GPS off. We have one boat with GPS out of the four boats we ride behind all the time and that one boat makes everyone but the owner curse it at some point.
No river running here and my last boat with GPS was bullet proof. I could see it being an issue with what you guys ride, thanks for the info and the heads up.Quote:

All good info mmandly and it takes some time getting used to a inboard vs an out drive. We sold out boat after 3 season in perfect shape do to knowing to just take it easy. Still funny to see peoples reaction when I back my boat into a slip and not nose first. Had a well seasoned captain in Lake Powell come over and say "I can't believe you just back this inboard into this stall when most with out drives can't pull in nose first."
So what did you decide on for the Craz options? I am about to test one out last weekend of Feb and I am curious on what your decisions are. Also I am nosy. :)
Was the black and charcoal boat really a graphic? I thought the different colors were gel designs?
The black portion of the graphic area is a sticker (z shape portion). I saw that at the boat show and was surprised. That is why I don't want that style. I don't want to have to worry about the thin areas coming off if I wash it or wax it. Or even just rubbing on it doing normal stuff.
I think it's quicker to note what options that I didn't go with rather then the options I did. Pretty much no upgraded tower, no gel graphic, no Z5, no 440 and no 18" rims is all. Pretty surprised how loaded of boat you can get for the price. Keep an eye out, it will be up for sale pretty quick in the season from what I worked out from my local dealer. Spray is set for March and delivery early to mid May.Quote:

Crazy how long it takes to make a boat!
What did you go with on Audio? 4 speaker and sub with 5 way amp plus 2 tower and amp? Basically loaded w/ Aviator tower?
The boat I want is already on the floor. They are taking a 1000 off of the price if we grab that one and it's got colors we like. Wonder if I should ask for more discount?
