Is this where I parked my boat??

Not to often you find one of these in the Kroger parking lot in south west ohio!

It's not that rare really, I see big ones like that pretty often usually with Ohio plates, headed toward Cumberland on the weekends. It's amazing what people will drag around , I couldn't imagine towing and launching that thing every weekend. The weekend of the poker run down there I saw quite a few that size.

That's a regular sight around here. Gotta watch out for them on the water. I don't get the appeal in a boat like that......burn a few hundred bucks worth of fuel to haul ass to dock at some bar/grill. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

1. It would real fun to go real fast... On someone else's dime of course! Above my pay grade; but I would not turn down a ride.
2. If you have the extra cash lying around to burn I guess some would prefer to spend it on all the looks they will get pulling up to the bar.

Well said @Kelso but I will admit... I looked and even posted. Pretty bad a$$! But my boats just right for me.

Oh, I look too, and even admire some of them.....but then go back to doing circles pulling tubers, finding my way to a nice cove to wakeboard, and just really enjoying being on the water in general. Just don't get the hurry to get across the water so quickly that those boats are made for. Oh, and the noise, I can appreciate a nice exhaust on a muscle car at a stoplight, or the rumble of those boats at a dock, but damn....to hear them for what seems like 20 minutes on end while they cross the lake is a bit absurd.

I'm going to stop now.....I'm starting to sound ooooolllldd.

That is a nice looking boat. I agree, it would be fun to go for a ride in one. But at the end of the day, I don't think I would want to own one, they are just too limited in what they do.

In the 1st picture it looks like the trailer is way too long for the boat. I wonder if that is to help distribute weight? I'm pretty sure that every other boat trailer I have seen, the boat hangs off the back at least a little.

I think that is to protect the out drives and the thousands of dollars in props from a rear end collision or the other driver vise verse.

I thought that might be the case as well. I guess it would also keep the owner from backing the props into something.

I can't say that I can afford one...but there is something darn amazing about flying across the open water with twin big blocks humming away and you being at the helm.

Back when I had a go fast friend, we bought the food and drinks for the weekend at the lake and he bought the gas. I think we came out way ahead on that and I got to drive when the owner got his drink on. I didn't mind staying sober for that privilege!

My idea of a $100++k boat is a Nautique G23 - and it's top speed is maybe 43mph. Thats really all I need.

A buddy had a go fast 80+mph boat. It was FAST, loud and flashy. It would've been real cool at the pub when we were back in our 20's. But now with family and friends, it was a complete waste. It did nothing well except go fast and attract attention. He had a very difficult time selling it, but eventually traded it in (and got raped in the process) on a open bow Chappy.

Has to be SW Ohio by the size of the holes in the pavement. All you need is some orange barrels and it would be a dead giveaway.

...that boat would be a blast to ride in!
