[buckbuck]

You guys have come a long ways since 2013. Congratulations.

Holy cow dude! That's awesome! Let's meet out in the middle of the big lake!

Beautiful, Love that black! Congrats on quick sale and purchase! (We wouldn't want you have to select "boatless" on your profile. Lol)

Might be giving @robert843 a run for his money on quick turn arounds, as I recall.

I sold mine and had the new 2017 attached to the back of my truck two hours later so I think I beat him by a few days since he won't pick his up till Friday. Lol but he sold his boat a lot faster then I sold mine so I had a little longer to shop and decide.

Holy Cow Jerry! Awesome! Can't wait to see her in person! Congrats @jcyamaharider and @jcyamahariders wife !

Congrats @jcyamaharider & @jcyamahariders wife. I'm anxious to see what kind of wake you manage to throw

Given your extreme wake needs and the required listing of the boat to generate such a wake I have a fitting name for your new whip. It came it me in a revelation... so you have to use it... ...Just kidding! I won't be offended if you don't, I know naming a boat is a quest for originality.

Anyway... here it is: "List for Life" or "List 4 Life", a play on the term "Lust for Life"

PEACE!

Congrats on the boat! You may want to look at this link. I don't know if it relates to your boat.

The limited S and all e series tower are different and the way all of the towers should have been made.

I like that name!!

For us it is between 2 names:

Retaining Water

Or

Nauti Rated X

 

[jcyamahariders wife]

@J-RAD great names I love them ! I think once we get the boat we need to start a voting thread for the name because I like to many of them now !

 

[bobbie]

@jcyamahariders wife how about "this boat runs on Jell-O shots"

 

[FloJet]

Way to go!

 

[jcyamaharider]

So sad the old boat hooked up ready to leave.

The new boat is a beauty, @jcyamahariders wife & @jcyamaharider !

Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Did she go to a member? Or, soon to be member? (I see there's still a flag on the trailer guide.)

Getting out of the boating game, at least for a while. Kids are all middle school / high school and very busy... we just were not using the boat much the last couple years. Also looking to adjust ongoing cost as kids (yes, the same ones ) approach college years.

Hope to be soon member. Yes I left them with 2 flags.

So amazon loves me right now:

4 bummpers
4 red docking lines
2 rolls of red rope 25'
150' black anchor line
4 foot of pvc coated red anchor chain
2 stainless steel danik hooks
stoltz bow roller
3/8" shackles 2pcs
aluminum watersports flag mount
air head flag
and a go pro knock off camera that records in 4k. @bobbie had one at Shelbyville and it was amazing. Comes with a ton of accessories for 65 bucks!!! We already have a go pro so a second camera didn't need to be that expensive.

From ebay I have a Black 8' keel guard coming.

Last on the immediate list is an aluminum FX-7 Fortress Anchor. I held one at West marine and that thing is amazingly light. I should have bought it there when I bought a shore spike type product and old glory but I thought amazon had a better price...... they didn't.

So, I am excited to see how you setup or mod the ballast to get the monster wave. Waiting patiently
I know you will want it plumed in like I would as well.

For this weekend ( after break in ) we are going to do full factory ballast and 750 on the port seat and 540 on the back swim deck. Eventually I will want either a bigger bag under the port seat or maybe put some lead weight back in the rear corner so I don't have to use a swim deck bag. We will see. I will most defiantly do my add a pump and fill port up top mod to this boat as well. I hate over the side pumps.
