My family was here for a week. Each son brought a guest and we rented a house at the beach. This is SO different compared to living in Illinois. It was fantastic!
(This actually belongs in the May picture thread. Family was here 5/20 - 5/27. But just got around to sharing.)
We spent the morning at the Lake Norman stop of the Mastercraft Pro Tour. What a morning. Had lunch with a local moomba/supra dealer buddy and had a nice conversation with Rick Tinker, President of Skiers Choice. Definately an interesting conversation.

How did you get to ride the tow boat?

Wife had to pay for it but was able to talk the organizers into doing at a highly discounted rate. Usually 400 per person. We paid nowhere near that. Also got lunch, VIP bands for full access to riders, and tons of promoter stuff (shirts, hats). Was a great experience.
^^this guy right here is jealous haha
My nine year old pulled off a a little ride this morning. She was grinning ear to ear afterwards.
Great shots guys! Love seeing the kids.

Not boating this weekend, 9 games in all between two boys.
Hey Stacy, remember this board? I don't know if you let me borrow it or if you left it at Drew's and I grabbed it to give back to you. Kids found it in the attic. Worked great. They had a blast on it.

Thanks! He has a matching (lime green) life jacket, but boat was in the lift in that pic.
Yea bro its that dry stack storage it stays in a big warehouse! We call and tell them what time we want the boat in the water and when we are done we clean the interior cover it and leave it in a wet slip and they put it up! Best service ever allows us to go get some quick runs anytime we want! If its available in your area I strongly recommend and it's actually cheaper than a wet slip with a boat lift in our area...
I have almost the same service. Boat is stored in a covered secured area. We call tell them, tell them what time to have the boat in the water. We show up, the boat is docked, fueled up and ready to go. When we leave, we dock the boat, clean it up if we want, but they wipe it down, make sure it is dry and replace the cover then park it in the covered secured area.
Best deal going. It would cost me more in gas a month towing than it costs to have the marina maintain it.
Plus, if my wife wants to go to the lake she doesn't have to worry about towing or launching the boat.
Nice! I'm trying to talk my wife into letting us store ours in dry dock like that. Port Royale Marina here does the same thing. It's pricey but it's cheaper than paying my truck note and gas for the truck. I'll put the boat in dry dock sell the truck and get a more fuel efficient car for my 90 mile round trip commute!
A marina at the river we ride on has this dry stack storage but its all cabin cruisers and its located north of the main place we ride. Never looked into it but the idea is great as long as its affordable. How much is the gas, I bet a premium over a regular fill station?
When we move to SC next month we're storing our Supra at a marina on the trailer so we don't have to tow each time, plus a lot of the developments down by Lake Wylie have HOA restrictions on parking boats in your driveway. If I can find a house with a garage that will fit the Supra that would be ideal but I doubt it since we're not having a house built.
Nice setup, where are you located? I like both you and your wife's/gf's board setups, very nice!
Wylie has dry attack storage but no longer accept inboards. Have had to much trouble with the tracking fins. Looked into it a while back.
Cigar- when's the move?

Yeah. I was kinda shocked.

That's funny we got this one used (81 hours) at Dallas ski boats. You didn't take it back to them for and oil change and walk out with a new supra did you? Lol we wanted to buy a new mojo but this mobius already had all the goodies so we took! Absolutely love the boat!
Thanks, We live in Dallas but the boat is stored on Eagle Mountain Lake in Ft. Worth, Tx. We drive about 45-60 min to get to the lake...lame but its one of the better lakes around with a lot of wind blocks, unless you want to get killed on Lewisville lake by a drunk!
We did the dry stack storage because I did not want to trailer that far due to gas prices and wear on my truck. They don't do all the washing and filling up though but if you want to do that they have crates outside they will set it on for you. As for filling up the boat I don't trust the gas at the marina! I bring my own cans...if you go to the hardware store and buy you a clear vinyl hose 1'0D x 3/4'ID you can siphon the gas out and drain a 5 gallon can in under a min. All you do is cover the opening of the gas can with one hand and push the side of the can in to create the suction make sure the can is higher that the tank on the boat and your good to go.
This may be even easier for getting gas in the boat. I use one every weekend, so you know its foolproof

What lake is that on?
NVM, remind me to refresh the page before I reply next time.
Ditto on the siphon Drew, works great and don't need to hold up the gas can.
Finally a little time on the boat, nothing exciting but feels good to be out:
