An Ode to the Moby

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 06-14-2006, 4:22 PM

Well it's official, after five years and seven hundred hours of pure joy, I sold the Moby today. Instead of sitting here moping about it, I decided it would be fun to list all of the Wakeworld people I was able to meet and ride with while I owned her.

Steve Hahn
Christie Fisher
Doctor Octogon
Joe Umali
Mike Bond
Miggity Matt
Matt B
TCluv
Troy Vold
Brad Jeagermeister
Christopher Stack
Leslie Zee
Chris Ramey
Duncan
Isaac Funkster
Teak
Captain America Brent
Porter Wake Porter
Jeff Reese
Ottisoneguy Mike
Texas Dave
Bonnie
Celine
Cod Red Phil
Sean Magic
Sampson Tower Gary
Idaho Andy
Curt
Chris J
Scotty Jinxton
Steve AZ
Ric H Blastmaster
Sean Caulby
Dave Notidad

I don't know if I got all of them, but the ones I've listed are all from this site. Many of these people are very good friends of mine now, and I owe it all to the purchase of Moby.

I'll definitely miss her, but I'm hoping to start the list all over again and continue to meet and ride with new Wakeworlders on the new boat.

And now on to bigger and badder wakes.

Got it home last night about five pm. I thought the boat looked good in pictures, but it is absolutely beautiful in person. The guy that owned it wouldn't even let people in the boat until they had dried off after their set, and refused to let anyone on or off the boat any place other than the swim step. This boat is showroom condition!

NOW TO AMEND FOR MY HUGE SCREW UP FORGETTING TO LIST A COUPLE OF PEOPLE!!!

TRAVIS - YOU ARE THE MAN!!! ALSO THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF US AT YOUR PLACE SATURDAY.

KARA - YOU ARE BY FAR THE MOST ENGRATIATING FEMALE I'VE EVER MET ON HERE.

TIGE AND TIFF - HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AT PATEROS AGAIN THIS YEAR. TIGE, INTERESTING TONGUE YOU GOT THERE.

What year is it? It has the rear grab handles so someone can sit back there while under way :-)

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 06-19-2006, 7:08 AM

Peter,

Mike is correct it's a 2000.

Philly,

You'll get your chance this weekend. I'm installing the Perfect Pass Friday, and I've already ordered an over size sack for the ski locker along with 400lbs of pop bags. My total ballast should be around 1800lbs. This sucker is gonna put out a nasty wake.

(noti_dad) · (noti_dad) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 06-20-2006, 7:53 AM

Can't wait to ride the new girl.

Definitely, RESPECT THE WAKE.

THANKS to Travis & Kara. They were great to put us up for the evening. And Vince for keeping me warm. Tige & Tiff - nice meeting you. Special thanks to Jerry & his wife for having the right tools (I tell you what).

Highlight of the trip was listening to Tiff & Kara's discussion about not needing men.

BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAA!

Lowlight was having to perform my wingman duties while nursing a hangover.
