OK - so I'm finally showing my little pocket rocket. It's an 18 ft. ?? and I've done a few customizations to it. I splashed on some graphics, installed a set of smart-tabs and had Wayne-Earl do a windshield replacement.

Yep . . . well 2/3 of the crew. The chip off the ole block is here:





The boat is actually a "cough, cough"  . . . . . Bayliner 175 - - all dressed up to look like a sporty custom Havasu ride. After spending a weekend there, We fell in love with all of the beautiful boats on that section of the River. Ours was boring looking and we were humbled real quick as soon as we hit the ramps. The wifey said "although we can't afford one of those, we need to make her look and ride better".

Welcome aboard rondi!!!  We started with a 175 Searay with the 4 banger and loved that boat.  In due time you'll upgrade when the time is right!!  :good

yep, and sometimes you upgrade too much.   :beat

i wish i still had my little lake boat.  :cry
(sometimes that is...)

but hey, i'll always have tools, a tow rope, 20' jumper cables,
and a cold beer.   :peace  

when people start wanting to use the crapper, then there better be something in it for me...
nothing like dealing with other peoples $h!t  :puke

We are having a blast with this little cheap boat. Even though it is a Bay, the thing only cost $9995 brand new and after the upgrades it's still under $12k. The family will outgrow it quick, but Bayliner did what they wanted, and that was to get a family that was afraid to get into boating with a used boat, go with a new one. If anyone needs to take a dump, forget it. I'll never have a boat with a crapper.


Here's the wifey and me out at Mohave in "Jens cove" - - anyone been there?

hey, i've had my share of "doin my business" in the bushes...

but hey, its not bad to have the "facilities" on board...
this boat aint so bad, its a portapot.
but my old "Bayliner" (command bridge 2556), that sucker had a full shower/crapper with 13 gallon tank, a full kitchen, sink stove, fridge and 110 gallons of fresh water, 115 g's of gas...
:drink
when i had it loaded with 5 cases of beer and my pony keg, then a little food for snacks, i couldnt hardly get over 20mph.
and that was one hell of a wake i was pushin.

now days... i'd rather get there faster.  :plane  :bebe  :beer
