Hi guys- long time boater first time owner. Just bought a "new" 2008 outback V; looked at lots of boats but felt the outback was the best value. I pick it up Friday at 5- plan to be on the lake by 6 breaking it in.

Congratulations!!!!! Just in time for the summer! Nothing better than picking up a brand new moomba. Lets see some pics of that bad boy. Enjoy!

Hey thanks guys- I'm SO excited for this weekend. I'm here in the heartland- Muncie, IN. Usually boat on Brookville Lake. I looked all around the Midwest for the best deal- and in the end I decided to get the boat close to home from a dealer who will take care of me (Ron Haston in Anderson, IN- great guy) and who actually let me demo the boat. Here's the dealer pic- I'll post more after this weekend.

Congrats on your new baby that's a good looking boat.
Did you have dealers that would not allow you to test drive the boat?

Nice looking rig. Congrats and welcome. Lots of great info here.

Congratulation on the great new boat. You may want to check out the Muncie Waterski club. They us the Waterbowl and it is a good place to ski and wakeboard.

We go to Brookville during the week but it is so busy on the weekends. My daughter lives in Bluffton Indiana and we go to Roush resevoir up by Huntington. It is small but a nice place to go.

Hey blue- I'd love to get into the muncie waterski club but I'm told they're full. If you have any connections let me know- I'll buy you a tank of gas or something next time I see you on Brookville

. Is Huntington less crowded on weekends than Brookville?

Supra- I had more than one dealer turn me down for a test ride or just not return my call- I was trying to compare the Outback V with the Mastercraft X-1 to see if there really is a 10-20k difference between the boats which is why I was looking outside of my area in the first place. I even had one dealer (who is going out of the boat business- "nobody can beat my prices" etc...) hang up on me when I explained that I'm probably not going to drop a big load of cash on a boat that I've never driven. But all is well that ends well! Glad I went with Ron.
