Sorry I guess that is why I can't watch that stuff. I really don't like him.

And when we get there, we're all going to line up and do the Conner McGregor strut around the inside, just like you do everytime you fill that bad boy boat up at the local gas station.

hahaha..
Love you guys.
:D

I'm not a strutter either, although Connor does add some real spice, and I like watching him do his thing.

Truth be told, I still go out of my town to fill it up. Just not comfortable in a small town.
In Buffalo? Like your lakes, there is always a million people with a bigger boat, and in my case, this is still a cheap, small boat compared to what I see on our lake, but very few, almost zero late model Cobalts. Cobalt seems to be the exotic brand around here and it does get it's looks.

Isn't that odd. It's the same way around here but I'm trying to change that every year.lol
We have the perfect lake by us and still not represented very well here. I think the dealers are spaced too far apart.

See a lot of Cobalts on Lake Travis outside of Austin. Still not the most common, but a lot. Like T, there are a lot of bigger/nicer boats than mine. I think for me, mine is the right size. I do covet the 282 with dual 8.1s though. Alas, my HOA slip can only take a 26' boat. My slip neighbor has a 262, but it hangs out quite a ways, and doesn't set level on the lift. Skeg in slightly in the water with the trim all the way down.

After drooling over Matt's 282 I seriously looked at some. Twins would be awesome, but we only have 28 foot slips too. Plus I think a 282 is wider? Matt? An 8.6 beam is tight in our slips. Great for boarding, loading ect, but really bad for docking. You almost have to walk it in every time.

Where's the closest airport to T's? Looks like he can fit at least 40-50 spooning chat members in there.

Nah, you don't need that. Just hook onto that old black R7 with your snow plow and come pick up up. We'll ride in it while eating Cheezit crackers and drinkin beer!

Haha.
There was this go-fast boat on the river yesterday. It was idling through the Erie Canal. I didn't get the make, maybe a Formula Fastech because it was first class.. I don't know what set of twins were in it, but dear God, it sounded freaking nasty as all hell just idling along. Major compression happening...
Ilmors?
Made me want to just shut down and watch it go by.
