No laughing...
Picked up a 98 Mobius right before Labor Day for $3k. When I got it home it ran like crap, so I bought a carb rebuild kit for the Holley 4010. Got the boat on the water Sept 20 to tune the carb, but had to fly out for 8 days at Disney World the next morning. Got it on the Water Tuesday night. First time my kids have been on a ski/wakeboard boat. First time for my wife driving.
I hadn't been on a board in over 15 years. Possibly 17. Got up on the first try on a free POS board that came with the boat. Despite my instructions, my wife thinks "HIT IT" means to ease into the throttle and gently pull the skier out of the water. I think she was trying to kill me. I had forgotten what a face plant into the water at 25+ MPH felt like. I am 45 and not as young as I used to be. Got up on all 3 times before I had to pass it off to the kids cause it was getting dark and the lights don't work yet.
Got both my boys (6 & 7) in a tube we also got with the boat. Santa will bring them a wakeboard on Christmas.
They will both know how to board by the end of next summer! I expect to get better as well.
My wife and 7 YO are probably the only people left in the world who take pictures vertically. <rolleyes>, but I love them any way!

That is awesome, congrats on the boat and enjoy every minute of it with the family. Money well spent in my opinion.

That is exactly why we love it! When people ask about it we say its the roughest road in Idaho lol. We are there or Anderson every weekend with the toy hauler on lake front property without too many people. Great time! Originally Posted by sandm

Probly our last trip out for the season today with my schedule...
Lindsay’s first run, a bottom turn gone bad. Lmao
I love how she curled to the shape of the wave to maximize the impact.
If I could post a 5th pic, I’m sure you could imagine what it looks like... it was epic lmaoOverkill is underrated
