We took her off the sales floor! And a huge shout out for St. Charles Boat and Motor

[swatski]

She is now missing from St. Charles Boat and Motor, MO, showroom.
Migrated safely into my driveway tonight!


The St. Charles Boat and Motor - the nicest people to do business with. They are fantastic.

They are so good, I am seriously considering letting them do the 10hr service when it comes due!

I always thought the Robert843 was a fantastic boat name!!!! Since I currently have Bad Buoy and Bad Buoy II you could always go Bad Buoy III atleast then I can go Bad Buoy IV on my next one lol! congrats my man.

TBD, Mr Moose, LOL.

That's an odd name. Maybe add a -ski at the end?

Congrats buddy. You should come test it out in our NC hot tubs, err, lakes.

One of the most unique names I thought about for my first boat.....when it was just myself, my wife, and 2 daughters was "Three Gulls and a Buoy" !

That's some upgrade! Great graphics and you can't get any bigger than that. You should be done for a few years

 

[BMF JK]

Great looking boat @swatski!! She is a good looking boat.. surprised the wife the would leave with the the other woman... err I mean wakeboat.

Still voting for boat name - "Swatski's Miss-Stress". You guys are going to have a blast with her. Break her in then bring her down to the beach!!
(it's only 700 miles) lol

I love that boat! Congrats. I would still do my own service just to snoop the bilge and engine area and look for anything loose missing from factory. Have fun and enjoy.

Funny you said that!
Of course I have already been snooping around the bilge!

Found a couple of things, for now:

1. Lots of post production shavings and debris, even screws at the bottom of the bilge. I was cleaning around the drain from the outside with 303 and could feel some shavings in the drain plug threads and on the inside; discovered the bottom of the keel (inside) was basically full of debris... ended up just vacuuming it with shop vac through the access hatch.

2. Found the drain inside the swim platform compartment blocked. Couldn't figure it out...! All connections were okay but I could not clear it with my steel cable probe... Until I discovered the hose they use is WAY too long and kinks in half like a foot under the cleanout deck... . I ran out of time to fix it tonight.

Started breaking her in today.
She is asleep now.

@swatski, don't forget to check the nuts and bolts on your trailer, especially the fenders. Did your trailer come with radial tires, or bias-ply?

Oh yes, I'm obsessed with that. After reading your thread and seeing @Majorsmackdown experience, I have given it more that a once over...
Still can't believe they use the same $hitty trailer jack as my 190 trailer... This thing doesn't look right, and it certainly doesn't FEEL safe.
