Show us your BOAT!!!

Yeah and i will get one next year because all my extra money is going into finishing the basment. I need more room and i have to do it but next winter i will be on the look out.

 

Good. You'll enjoy it just try not to get one that's going to be problematic because that will make ownership miserable.

 

i have a wake board thats pretty good to learn on 50 bucks and its yours i think its under my bed hasnt been used in 3 years i stepped up to a full boot 136cm board

 

I appreciate the offer and I may take you up on that at a later date.

 

haha sounds like a plan yea its not going to see any uses here i have to many other toys

 

2009 Stratos 176XT 50HP Yamaha

 

^ thats a sweet little boat man i bet its great on fuel

 

Thanks, yeah I only need to refuel every 3 or 4 trips to the lake. It goes plenty fast for me too.

 

my first boat



my last boat


much better fishing off the last one, we could open the sterngate and walk to the end of the water...

 

Is that the boxer or in the same class as?

 

Very nice. Wish I could afford a Grady haha.

 

Here is ours hooked up to the Tacoma. Towed it fairly well, although I am not sure I would tow very far with the Tacoma.

 

how does it really tow im going to get a supra soon i know they are heavy boats do you have breaks on your trailer

 

yes, its LHD1, the USS WASP the Boxer is LHD4

 

Awesome! Those ships are so cool. Thank you for your service.

 

I was actually very surprised how well it did. I thought the tongue weight would crush the suspension to the bump stops because I still don't have the rear suspension TSB done. I would not hesitate getting the boat you want to get if you have the Tacoma to tow with. My boat is a 21 footer so a 23 footer will obviously weigh a bit more, but I think you would still do fine. Things to consider is how far would you be towing to the boat ramp? Hills? Winding roads?

I did not tow mine very far, but would think twice about going on some lengthy tow up the steep hills we have here in SoCal. I normally tow with a 3/4 ton Suburban which does awesome, especially with 8 people. In the next few weeks when we start going to the lake again with fewer than four people I am going to use the Tacoma. I will let you know how it goes.

Yes my trailer has brakes on both axles. DO NOT buy any wakeboard style boat that sits on a trailer without brakes, even with a large tow vehicle I don't think its safe. Good luck with your boat purchase, there are some great deals out there right now with people needing to get out of their toys!

 

It aint much but it's mine, Mako 18 LTS, Mercury 90HP Optimax.

 

New (to me) just picked it up Saturday. Took it out on the river today!

 

thats a great boat man 18 foot is great and i bet it moves well in rough water
