Who Boats ??????

[goochy]

Anybody boat in the summer. :) I ride quads/dirt bikes in the fall/winter and boat all summer. I went from wakeboarding to Hydrofoiling . ( air chair or sky ski ) I now ride a 2004 Sky Ski ST Pro, it has a shock so it really helps your back. Anybody esle hydrofoil or ever heard of it ?? Our ride is a 2001 Malibu wakesetter VLX. Its alot of fun with friends and family.

[steveatv3]

Ya i know what hydrofoil is, i wakeboard we have a 2003 21ft maxum inboard v8

Dont know much about boats

[goochy]

:cool: Here is INLAND surfin behind the boat , look NO rope...... start with short rope then you toss the rope in the boat and ride the wave....its alot of fun !!!

[steveatv3]

nice bronze tan i see you dont mind sporting that with a limp hand either ;)

[2002400ex]

I kneeboard some but not a lot. I like riding jet skis. They are lots of fun. But i dont own one:(

[goochy]

:D I'm just cool :cool: :cool: , no it was just a fun pic. We have so much fun with the boat. We bought it new 3 summers ago now it has OVER 600hrs on it. THATS ALOT !!!!

[steveatv3]

She looks perrty stealthy

[I-7]

We have a 98 bayliner Capri 18 footer and a seadoo gtx

:cool: :cool:

[bman9]

i salom ski behind a sea doo speedster because our lake is shallow where i ski at.

[Quad18star]

Pretty cool pics . Them Malibu boats are sick . I'd love to get one but too much $$ for my blood . Maybe one day I'll get a boat like that but for now I gotta stick to fishing boats . ;)

[goochy]

Me and the wife started out with a jet ski, then a small Bayliner, then Chapparel, then a Master Craft, ( all USED ) then got the NEW 2001 Wakesetter. I always say , A Boat is better than NO BOAT !!! :D

Yeah ... you're right .. something is better than nothing . We have a 12 foot aluminum and a 14 foot aluminum . :p One sports a 7.5HP and the other a 20HP .

I love your description of "Boat" LMAO .
A local car dealership here in town had a Wakestter on his lot last summer .... I was too afraid to ask the price ... I'd have probably dropped dead . All I know , is that they aren't cheap . Half the price of a house .

[goochy]

:D He is the wife , she rocks :cool: , front board grab...

[Quad18star]

Thats awesome that you are both into the sport . That board that you sit down on .... are you strapped onto it?? I can see a lot of nasty spills being taken on that thing . lol ... OUCH !!!!!

[goochy]

The sky ski , hydrofoil, is really safe if you buy the proper gear. I bought aftermarket foot stays ( double wrapped 2 in velco ) that hold your feet in !!! and a 2 in wide lap belt to keep you in !!! You DO NOT want to break loose from the chair. I have never felt like I was going to fall out. It floats with you so if you crash, you just float up to the top , no big deal . 2 summers so far and I love it. I do wear a helment now, to protect ear drums. If you hit a stick or log in the water that HURTS, instance FACE plant :eek: Here is a black flip crash that I tried to do. I finally got it around ( blackflip ) last summer a few times, Still working on it.


Check out www.foilfreaks.com to see the sick people ride !!!

[Quad18star]

OUCH !!!!!

[SGA]

Wow! Ive heard of foil boards, but never have seen one.
http://www.foilfreaks.com/Videos/Hyco2004/Hyco-2004.wmv

Add on, Ive owned plenty of boats in my day. Got tired of it all and have not owned one in 6 years. Sold my fishing poles and tackle about 3 years ago also.

Dont call me a light weight, I bet I have more time in a boat than most of you. Years and years of every type of fishing, skiing, rides, you name it.
I just got burnt out on it.

[quad_400ex]

them sky ski's are pretty cool but i prefer barefooting and slalom skiing. my friends and i put about 100 hours on my boat this last summer

[89'350RX]

sure do!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/CRTracing/PANTERA1.jpg

[goochy]

Is that a Baja , or Fountain Boat how long ?? There are ALOT of Foutain Boats where I boat at. They run the main river, we stay off the main river, to rough. I rode in a fountain boat once 29 ft long with a 454 in it. Most of the Fountain boats have 3 , 502 motors in them , yes 3 motors, they blow by going like 100 mph.. thats crazy !!
Slalmon and barefooting beat you up to much , very rough.... going 35 +++ on your barefeet thats crazy. I can slalmon ( but do not ) , but no barefoot here. My friends do it, and "foot" he can do a RUNNING dock start. He runs, jumps in , lands on back, then plants his feet.
Here is my summer haven !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pismoracer]

right now ive got a classic.

78 mastercraft prostar 190,

silver and black (raiders edition!)

been in the family since new. Mom actually used to ski professionaly behind it.

1800hrs and still running strong!

[89'350RX]

28' Pantera with twin 502's.

Top speed is 80 but she comes out of the hole like crazy.

Here's another...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/CRTracing/boat2.jpg

[goochy]

Cool pic that looks like a ad for that boat !!!!!!!!! sweet boat. We run the waterway ( man made ) for 28 miles until 1 st lock, but most of the big race boats run the Tn river.

KEEP that 78 Mc it will be worth ALOT !!! Post some pics of it, sounds like a classic, cool boat.

[LazeR]

We have a 19' North River Jet Boat that can run in 4" of water. Dont have any pics of it running in the water yet but here is one of it.

[XANDADA]

My old roomate had a 31' Sea Ray and we'd go out on it a few times a year. I could never afford to own one though...He kept it dry docked and it cost a small fortune just to take it out.

[dirtmomma]

My husband used to boat......................................going 120mph on his stomach if that counts :eek2: :devil: :D :macho US2 in 1996 :D
WE want to get a boat one of these days, we only live a couple miles from a nice lake plus we are surrounded by water LOL, looking ot get a nice lil bow rider we can ski behind ;)

[tacundra]

doesn't everyone boat????

seriuosly though, boating in the summer and atving in winter is the name of the game in FL.

Used to wakeboard like mad until i suffered a bi-lateral ACL tear.....that ended the wakeboarding real kwik.

Maybe I should try that Air Chair..

[goochy]

Tacundra, thats why I quit wakeboarding because it hurt my knees, But I still blew out my ACL and knee on my quad , I'm still out for 2 more months from work. You should try Hydrofoiling its a RUSH !!!!!! and does not hurt your body like wakeboarding does. ( I'm getting old :D )

[dirtmomma]

just found a little pic of the hubby :D:D

[goochy]

:eek2: Cool race boat !!!!!! Here is my flippin friend Bryon

[goochy]

Her is my friend Dan, trying a blacklfip on a hydrofoil, but he came up short, to face plant, I have been there and done that before !!!!!!!!! OUCH !!!!!!!!!! Look close and you can see the foil behind him .

[quad_400ex]

does he wear a barefoot wetsuit when he rides? i didnt think you'd want to where something balky like those are

[Scott-300ex]

he's superman




SUPERDUDE



im coming to save you young fish

[goochy]

yes 3 of my friends wear barefoot suits all year long. They do not like like vest, so the suit keeps them afloat. Plus they say it helps on the crashes , padding !! ;) Me , I just wear a vest. But 2 of them barefoot.......

[Angus350]

more of a fishing boat

[lol]

we have a wellcraft 33' coastal and an xl 760 waverunner, we fish all summer :)

[LazeR]

That video was awesome. I loved him doing the front flips on the hydrofoil.

[goochy]

[goochy]

Thanks we got it July 4th of this year.... we had a 2001 VLX , here is a pic of the old boat ( with 2005 stickers )

[Warrioreater400ex]

I LOVE THE LAKE! i am a lake guy, period, if i had my choice id be there every weekend during the summer! I love yalls malibu boats, im only 19 but i grew up boating and i know how to take care of stuff, and they never use the boat, so its practically mine (the bills too unfortunately) its a 1995 Four Winns 180 horizon with the OMC 5.0 HO in it, its pretty quick for a stern drive! i topped it out at 54.... ive been slaloming since i was 9, i wakeboard but ive about maxed my limits without a tower... heres a few pics...

Excuse this one... my new HO Vengeance tourney ski... its quick... still not used to it though...

[Warrioreater400ex]

me wakeboarding

[Warrioreater400ex]

me ATTEMPTING to jump high.. landed a little wrong... you can see where its going... i figured yall would like this one

[goochy]

:D We boat at Pickwick ..... here a pic of me on the sky ski

[Warrioreater400ex]

Cliff jumping, and my favorite picture from this summer... Sighhh

[Warrioreater400ex]

Goochy - you boat at pickwick? cool me too.. usually pickwick, occasionally enid... or if im really lucky and have the time and money.... Norfold in Ark... :D

Do yall have a place up there? if so where at? i know lots of people who spend lots of time up there

[trx400exxracer]

me and my brother wakeboard and we got a jet ski it is a brand new Yamaha 140hp I forgot the model

[goochy]

we go every weekend in the summer, I have a small cabin across the street from Lewis Boat storage and golf carts ( Hwy 25 ) . I know alot folks up there. We had 650 hrs in 3 summers on our old boat , and the new boat has 125 already !!! got it july 4 th 2005 !! We ONLY run the waterway ...

[goochy]

Here is a pic of my wife !!!!!!!!!!!! the BIG air !!!!!!

[goochy]

:D

[400exdad]

I boat whenever my good friend(s) invite me! :blah:

[exboy]

well i hate to come in here and trump everybody but we got a 12ft. tom boy :D

[Warrioreater400ex]

where is "the waterway" this past summer was my first at pickwick so im not to familiar with it... (pickwick is close for me but hard to find good skiing water :( your cabin... is it on the corinth end i would imagine? Jon and pam wakefield live bout 2 miles south of the state park on the west side of the river.. he owns Russan lumber co. in memphis. sometimes i stay with him.. sometimes we camp and ride quads up there... anyways nice pics i love the boat... my boat throws an O K wake but that is awesome!

[troutman561]

not a pic of the actual boat but same model and everything, this is actually the one we are buying in 2 weeks, right now we own the same make just 3 ft smaller and 1 engine... we have made a few trips to the bahamas and fish yr round when the weather is right

[z400roosteR]

Baja,fountain,cougar,eliminator,donzi,scarab,Formu la......those were the days used to boat but we sold ours to buy the quads, using the boat 3 times a year like a week each wasnt worth the what we paid for it, the good thing about boats is they don't really depriciate in value that much compared to cars,quads,bikes etc. as long as you maintain good care of them.

[K-Dub]

I would like to have one of these to play with.
http://www.pbr-fva.org/boats/pbrmk2.html

[goochy]

No my cabin is 5 miles from pickwick dam on the Iuku , Ms side... at yellow creek..... Its not on the water........ the waterway goes from yellow creek to gulf of Mexico...... I have 28 miles before the 1st lock at BaySprings, Ms.........

[doc-bones]

what lake are those pics taken on

[T.Hopp]

My philosophy is " THE BEST BOAT TO HAVE IS A BUDDYS' BOAT!"
Give him some gas money and have fun. I own two boats at the moment. Nothing to talk about unless you like shooting ducks.

[goochy]

:devil: yes you have to pay to ride in my boat !!!! I have a small cabin, so I put my friends up for a night or two and take them boating and feed them . They ALWAYS help me some how, gas , food, cook supper, cokes, etc.. or just help me do work on the boat or around my cabin.. My cousin :grr: I took him ALL summer , fed him food, took to lake.. NOTHING !! I even told him !! I need help $$$$$$ with gas was $3.00 and up this year, he never helped... so he no longer gets invited to the lake... NO PAY, NO PLAY !!!!

[Eddiesanders250]

Yes I love to wakeboard thats what we do in the summer. We have a 2001 Malibu wakesetter 21ft. Just got the new graphics put on it looks a lot better. Just this summer learned how to throw wake to wake tantrums (backflips). Im only 14 but I love to ride.

[fugitivracing65]

This is how we roll in So Cal during summer.

[fugitivracing65]
