    B@stard, I'd love a boat got other stuff to come before that unfortantely. When are you getting it out on the water.

    We're picking it up on saturday hopefully. So probably saturday it'll spend all day out on the water

    I giggled when I saw the name as well, its a cracker.

    Managed to get it for $7k, went halvies with my room mate, so it didn't cost too much for a year or two of fun. It hauls some serious ass on the water and handles brilliantly. Can't wait to pick it up.

    Awesome mate looks nice, although in the first pic when i had a quick look at it, it looked like the motor was photoshopped. Sorry!! She should GLAF. Thats what im gonna call my boat when i get one.

    ive always wanted an inboard ski boat. they are a ball of fun. we used to have an outboard but it wasnt powerful enough to get me up onto water skis . some of dads mates have/had ski boats, they had some pretty cool names and engines. two i remember were 'mongrel' with a 351 and 'wooden matter' (cos it was an all wood hull) with a 308 in it.

    Pehaps you should get some 19" wheels and slap it on yer trailer so you look good when cruising with that beast on it.

    i used to have a fibreglass 15 foot half cabin with a 55hp motor and it had no trouble getting a skier out of the water.

    Yeah I love the name... My mate and I are tossing up whether or not we should get "She gets wet" put on the windscreen.

    Took her out for a run yesterday, and it absolutely hammered along at 50 knots or so at 4500rpm, and stable as. She handles like its on rails as well. I'll never go back to a bigger boat now, this thing is just too good... Its a completely different feeling driving a small boat with heaps of grunt over driving a larger boat. Can throw any corner at this and you know it will hold.
