Couldn't take it any longer. I noticed all the rampant speculation about the quest for a replacement for the Outback. I did put a downer on the boat, but it isn't closed. Still, rather than keep everyone in suspense, here's a photo:

Oops, sorry. Wrong photo. Here's the real one:
Thanks! I had to pass this one up but it was close.
I have to go out and clean the garage so here's the rundown. It's a brand new 2008 LSV. It has:
Perfect Pass Wakeboard Pro
Kenwood Stereo w/ 6 speakers & amp
2 tower speakers w/ amp
water strainer
pop up cleats
stainless rub rail
docking lights
Gravity III ballast
Hydraulic wakeplate
bimini top
cockpit & tonneau covers
depth finder
single axle trailer w/ swingaway tongue
Also adding wakeboard racks
It looks so much better in person than in the washed out photos that we were shocked and fell in love with it, especially Donna. It's fossil with sandrock on top and sandrock interior. i think they actually call this "sandstone" now though.
I have to keep moving because I STOLE IT-- just kidding, it was a very fair deal for a loaded '08. Here's the only picture of it. I don't even pick it up till Thurs.:
Way too cool! Congrats!
Nice boat congrats!!!!
congrats on the new boat. it looks good
Congratulations again to the proud new parents
much more functional than the moomba pirate. Nice ride :cool:
Nice setup congratulations on the purchase.
Stacy, I told you I want you guys to be the Godparents, right?
Hey, you should see the wake that thing throws. It was close I tell you.Quote:

LOOKS GOOD! Congrats!!!
Now, how many days were you boat-less??
Thanks! (And thanks to everybody else above- we're extremely happy.)
I think it was about 48 hours. Although I still don't have the LSV yet. I think Thurs. is the delivery day. It's about 4 1/2 hours from here so I can't just stop off after work and pick it up.
Thanks, Joe. I didn't really need the "V" for me but Donna and the older kids were screaming about the space in the Outback. When you fill 3 400 lb. bags for surfing it leaves very little floor space for 8 people, even if most are kids. This should be way more comfy.Quote:

Congrats Kane! Great looking ride! More pics when you get them huh?
Thanks, Newty! Got a long way to go to catch your bling factor. Still, we're happy with the start.
Way to go, looks very nice, and that's a very list of options to boot :)
To be fair, Ed, we had just gotten the Outback a few months before. It was a lot bigger than our old boat. She has really come a long way as a boater since then. When I met her she wouldn't even get in water over her head. (Now we get in boats over our head).
Oh that's funny :D
Thanks, bro. It's not flashy but it really feels kind of luxurious or something. That's what struck me about Ed's boat when I first saw it. It reminded me of a Eurpopean sports sedan or something. HP and comfort. I never would have taken a boat with this color package if I hadn't seen his first. I'll get some decent pics in a couple days here. Edit: I should say that seeing pix of mmandley's boat was inspiration too.Quote:

Was that Mr or Mrs Z that came alive last night? LOL
I don't think they thaw Mike out till daylight savings time hits. Must have been the Mrs.
Must be right, I can't even get a response from him, sending jokes to his office, maybe he's mad about something?
My boat? HUH? LOLQuote:

I bet shes really sweet looking, reading threw the list of options on that boat is set. Cant believe it didn't sell before you came around. Thats a loaded up boat man.
Now you realy got some Boat Porn of your own LOL
No kidding. Donna asked Bob (dealer) why he still had it and his answer was, "Because we just didn't sell it." I think for a long time it was one of the more expensive ones he had. It just got to the point where he was tired of looking at it.
Congrats man! You have a good looking boat there. I think you are going to love that LSV.
Funny you say the dealer just didn't want to look at it anymore, and now that's all you want to do, well besides use it every chance you get :)
Congrats Kane........Love the color :)
Four sides brick, all the hardwood I want, garbage disposal and bonus room above the garage. Your reply, "yes, dear".
Ed, you’re right "envious" is something I would never be ESPECIALLY for my friends.
AND Kaneboats is right; I didn't even go in water above my head when I met him. I remember getting sick on his uncle's boat when we were dating. Didn't puke or anything, but I was REALLY sick to my stomach.
Took a new boat to give me something to talk about again on here...
Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Even you Kane because you've been getting the baby's room ready since we got home Sunday.
Well let me the first to say Congratulations Mrs Kane :)
I think shes referring to the the new Boat baby
Nice boat, you and the family will enjoy the increased room.
Thanks! I'm gonna get some better pix up before long here.
Lord, I hope so!!:confused:Quote:
