Enjoying Our 1995 252 in Kansas

[shrfdeputy]

Welcome to both of you. Very clean boat. No way you'd think it was 20+ years old.

You aren't kidding. And it has less than 300 hours. I'm on pins and needles because we should get to pick her up from the mechanic in a day or so. We did lots of fun upgrades.

Crazy. Mine is 2002 that I bought with 47 hours on it. Averaged 3 hours a year when i got her. go figure.

That is just crazy. We know a little of the back story on ours. It was owned by a dentist from Austin, but it sat on a lift at his house on Grand Lake for years. He supposedly didn't use it much, and then he sold it to an older lady who bought it to use with her grand kids, and she didn't use it much. A guy here in Wichita bought it from her and put about 80 hours on it in 1.5 - 2 years. We definitely plan on keeping that pace up if time will allow.

That's awesome. Mine has quite a backstory as well but I won't hijack here. Actually it does involve NYS Chief Ornathologist invloved in bird conservation which does check all the boxes for thread hijacks here...

Seriously? Liquid, you hesitate to hijack? You're getting soft..

We got her back today. We added some cool options to the SwimPlatform (pop up cleats, P-Handles and cup holders), Captains Call, a second battery and a flag pole.

Your fast.. like a 30 min hgtv show!! Looks great and looking to hear how you like the CC exhaust!!

Those cup holders in the platform are awesome!!

Get ready to have BB get you into some LED ones!

I was already wondering how BB would want to tell me to improve on those cup holders. I’ll get video of the CC ASAP!!

Looks good. Can't say I've ever seen assist handles like that on a swim platform. How did you come up with that. I've seen them on docks. I think LED rope lighting around the whole platform.

They are listed as an option when you go to SwimPlatform’s website. There are U-shaped for larger platforms and then these.

Looking good! Can't wait to hear her running with the cc open

Great idea.. plus stowable . Just realized how the ladder can kick out as you reach forward to grab something coming up..

Those will be nice for your anchor out !

I think the SwimPlatform is going to make a huge difference in just about every aspect of being at the lake. I haven't even had it on the water yet and I'm already saying it is money well spent!

[Ytmsn]

Oh you'll love it! I wouldn't have another boat without one. It will make a HUGE difference in the fun factor.

Too true! Story has everything too. Plus Birds!

Let's hear it. We all love a good story!
