Picked her up this evening! (The vessel formerly known as @RampRage 's '11 SX210)

I got home just before dark and the whole family was waiting in the yard to climb all over it.

Truly want to thank @RampRage for an awesome buying experience! He threw in so much extra stuff that he could have used or sold individually, spent a ton of time with me tonight and last weekend as my wife and I looked at it for the first time, and even prepped a parts list for me to start getting the ballast system up and pumping again. We've been excited all week, now it's here and I can't wait to get it on the water!

Going out to putter around tomorrow (on my own) to get the feel of it and experiment with the gps and perfect pass. Then taking the family back to Shelbyville Sat afternoon to see who we run into on the lake. @jcyamaharider @trace
 
I was correct!!

Anyways, congrats @BigAbe75 on a very nice boat and congrats to you Ryan for now only having to store one boat!

You should have seen Abe smiling from ear to ear as he pulled away.

I couldn't be happier for the the new owners.

So many memories in that boat so many more memories to be had by Abe, Jenny and the rest of his family.
 
Congrats to both of you can't wait to see you out on the new boat this weekend !
 
@RampRage Next question.....what's your next boat?!
 
Congratulations @BigAbe75! Happy to see RampRage is going to a good home.
 
This is Ryans new boat.

Congrats @BigAbe75 , you are going to love it I'm sure. Christy and I will definitely be out on the water, so hope we see you, Jenny and the kiddos out there.
 
Congrats @BigAbe75 ! Congrats @RampRage ! The only problem is not I have to change registration numbers in my Shelbyville database!. LOL
 
Saturday was a great day getting to spend it with @BigAbe75 and the new to his family SX210! Did some surfing, tubing, hanging out. Time kind of got away from us as we ended up putting the boats on the trailers at dark.
 
Yep, awesome day!! Then came home and already have an Amazon cart filled up to about $450 of odd and end supplies.

Didn't remember to pull the clean out plugs at the ramp, but I did remember in the Taco Bell parking lot while the wife was in getting food for the trek home. :)
 
Man, Shelbyville gatherings sure cost people a lot of money.

Here is Abe's wife Jen surfing our boat ! 1st pic is Jerry showing Abe how to use perfect pass and taking the kiddos tubing !
 
It appears you thoroughly exposed her to the surfing epidemic.
 
Ha, @BigAbe75 is the one that is gung ho to learn to surf, we talked Jenny into trying it a couple of weekends ago and now she's damn near acosting people for a pull. Fortunately there are many wakesurf-dealers on this forum that can help feed her newfound addiction. @BigAbe75 better get on board quick.
 
Hmmm...I didn't take her for being a women that accosted wake surf drivers. I'll keep that in mind.
