After the longest eight weeks or so since boot-camp. Would've posted pics sooner but I think in my excitement I may have left my camera at the boat ramp. I'll try to get better pics up after this weekend.

Thanks Mike. Lookin' at the wake when we test drove it I was damn near scared. That was with no ballast or wedge down too. It's gonna' be a bit of an adjustment from the Bayliner I think.

Very nice boat Kenneth. I have an LSV with almost the exact color scheme.

I know what you mean about the wake. I got use to my Sea Doo then rode behind my friends Mastercraft. Boy what a difference.
Congrats on the new boat. Very clean colors and I like your choice of tower speakers.

That is one nice looking boat.

Meyer Marine in Goddard, KS. That's the dealer where I got my boat. Great guys there.

What are the main places that you ride? From what we saw there were tons of lakes around there. Are they all rideable?

Congratulatoins on the new boat.

Another a-m-a-z-i-n-g looking boat in the mid-west. Nice work Ken!

Beautiful boat. I may be in the minority here, but I for one don't get Malibu's move to putting speakers in the middle of the back bench. Folks always seem to be looking for more space, and that essentially takes away the whole middle section of the rear for seating. Makes no sense to me.

I really think Malibu has the most fluid lines of any boat. The trailer is awesome too!

Nice boat, get some transom tie downs.

Yeah slipknot, Pat's awesome. I've known him for a few years now from the boat shows and buying gear from him. I mostly ride at Kaw Lake in Oklahoma. As a Texan I hate that my boat's going to have OK in the registration but it'll save me a few grand a year on property taxes in KS so I'll get over it.

Tommy. I'll probably rarely have more than five or six people in the boat counting me so I don't think it'll be a problem. Besides, they're set in enough that you can still lean back without your back rubbing against them. Also they're low on the back. Most people don't sit with perfect upright posture. You're butts out on the edge, legs stretched out in front and your lower back not even touching the seat.

Other good news, found my camera.

Oh and thanks for all the compliments.

(longhornfan) · (longhornfan) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 04-27-2008, 8:12 PM

Yeah Ty but I have to put it down to get it through the door. It has about a half inch clearance from the ceiling when it's up. I'll post some pics from outside with better lighting tomorrow. Too late to try and get'em compressed and all that now.

Ken, Very very nice boat!

You should get you a little Red OU sticker for the back to match your registration! ;-)

I also think Bu's have the nices lies of any boat in the market. Very awesome Bu and that sound system is gonna kick A%$@! I have 2 Pro 80's and everyone always tells me to turn the volum down so I couldn't imagine what 4 would sound like. Jelous in Oregon

(longhornfan) · (longhornfan) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 04-28-2008, 3:17 PM

Flight007. They're just the Pro 60's but they do sound good.
The files were larger with this camera so I had to compress the hell out of 'em to get within the 150Kb. Sorry they're smaller.
