How's your winter goin, Charron? ....April will be here before ya' know it! 8-) 8-)

I haven’t heard anything from the dealer but that’s ok. I can’t wait to get it on the lake, but I don’t want to write that check until the boating season is a little closer!

Pictures :-)
What board? I just got Max one for Christmas. Hyperlite.
Ended up buying a liquid force trip. I'm new to wakeboarding and have read that's a good beginner board...we'll see about that! :? :lol: hopefully easy to learn, then I can grow my collection of boards.

I think it's easy, Max thinks it is easy. Sami not So much. She can't get up to save her soul. She is very athletic and just can't pull herself up for some reason.
I did alot of reading on mine also and it had great reviews for beginner to intermediate so I went with it. Plus I have a older Hyperlite so I'm kind of bias.lol I do have liquid force bindings but they are a bitch to get into. I had it signed by Shaun Murray when he was up here back in the day. It's a little small for me but the bindings will fit so I'll give it a try this year and I'll see how bad my back is after that if I do it again.lol

Oh man. My wakeboarding days are over before they even began. No way my back would take it.

I need to surf.

I just saw an interesting piece on the news down here in Florida. The boat shows are going strong, and national new boat sales are expected to rise between 10% to 11% over last year.

Thats good news for BB and I! When folks start looking at a $140,000 boat all of a sudden a $30,000 or $40,000 starts looking pretty cheap!

Boat dealerships down here resemble car dealerships. Acres of boats in stock.
I never got the chance to stop at the NauticStar/Monterrey dealership near our house. They had a brand new, monster Regulator with the quad 350s on display by route 41.

I'm a Table Rocker, fam has a place in Shell Knob. Ready for summer, hope the lake doesn't end up flooded like last year... :shock:

Shady Creek in El Dorado, they've been great to work with. Talked to peeps at The Harbor and Lake Viking, but their pencils weren't near as sharp. :)

Yep understand that. We went with Lake Viking wanted to go with the Bob Cox at the Harbor since they are the boat dealers on Table Rock but dang Randy at Lake Viking beat them by 10K on our R7 and thru in first year winterization! Looking forward to meeting you we are close on TR.
