Gary was having trouble posting pics of his new boat so I am going to give it a quick try:

Nice, although the water doesn't look very nice..(ugh) Oh well, who cares when you got a sic boat like that.

Garry,
I like the all white. Very sharp looking boat! Looks good with the Samson tower too. Have fun with your new boat.

Christie: Thank you. Now, just what did you do that I didnt?. I followed your instructions to the letter. Liked the bluegrass tribute to AC/DC

Brett: Its a private ski lake with a clay bottom

Thanks Jeff. From the looks of it, I missed out on a good time at Pateros

Dave: good to hear from you. Yes, KC is really stoked. Are you doing Boardstock this year

Hey Gary sweet boat. About how far is port orchard from the Tri-Cities? I know you said the lake was private, but approximatley where is it located.

Ben; Port Orchard is about three and a half to four hours west of you. That particular lake is Winlock Waters in Toledo or exit 63 off I-5

Gary,
Sweet ride! We moved to the Tri-cities from Silverdale. Ever hit Panther Lake over there in rain country? We used to go to Mason, and Long when we wanted to wash off the salt!
Ben, where do you ride?

Kirk,
Thank you, it is sweet. Typically ride on Long, Kitsap, Mason around here, Moses and the Mud Hole in eastern WA.

Hey Kirk I've met you before. I'm friends with Justin and Candice Tschauner, we met about the first part of this summer. Haven't seen much of you out this summer because we've been riding in the mudhole.

What made you go with that tower over a swoop or the Illusion X?
It looks good just curious.

Gary works with Scott over at Samson.... thus he has the hook up on tower/ racks/ and the fancy mirror mount too. Good choice on the integrated racks up top…. Wish I would have got them on my Samson tower.

Time to add the fancy Samson speakers now! Bling Bling.

G, Did you get your VLX with the wedge?

Brett...Are you crazy that water looks "Very" nice! Not a roller in sight! Who cares about the color. You should try to stay above it as much as possible anyway. (Just kidding...it does look pretty nasty)

(cmawsr) · (cmawsr) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 09-11-2003, 3:51 PM

the water looks like the delta.
nice boat Gary, all white is the color my girl wants

(garyw) · (garyw) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 09-11-2003, 7:01 PM

Jeff. I have the speakers. Samson now offers Fo-cal or Infinity. I got the Fo-cal, I think that they have better sound quality than the Infinity.

Options that I got on the boat are

380 Hammerhead engine
Perfect Pass
Docking Lights
Shower
3 vent heater
Wedge
Composite Platform

and the ultimate option HEATED DRIVERS SEAT

mcfatty; Jeff is right, I work for Samson Sports part time like 1 day a week

Dan; Glad to see you back on here, How was the tour??

Chris, The Delta is cleaner. If she wants white, get white. Its not that hard to keep clean

Tika, will post pics of wake when I get them. But with stock ballast, wedge and 5 people Sojna Scheffler(sp) and Nick Weinaker(sp) rode behind the boat about a week ago, and they both liked it.

Great boat.
My next boat is going to be all white.
Tower is a bit odd for me.

(garyw) · (garyw) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 09-14-2003, 3:09 PM

dane, "Tower is a bit odd for me". What is it that you dont like???????????, I would like to know. BUt thank you for the complements

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-14-2003, 3:48 PM

Gary, I just don't know that tower. My previous favorite towers were from Boss or Skylon. But, your tower looks nice and I suspect it is easier to put board on (because of the angled corners). Enjoy it! Is it pretty solid? How does it fold?

(garyw) · (garyw) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 09-15-2003, 7:22 AM

Dane, Folds easy, will fold either back or forward depending on your needs. Check out www.samsonsports.com

Gary:
Tour was amazing. I had a blast. Didn't get to ride much, so I'm trying to make up for it now that I have some time off. Still a little rusty though.

Where is Port Orchard in relations to Moses Lake? My dad lives in Moses lake. I didn't know people wakeboarded on that lake. Is it any good to ride? Maybe I'll have to visit him more often if that's the case?

(garyw) · (garyw) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 09-16-2003, 12:16 PM

Dan; Port Orchard is about 3.5 - 4 hours west of Moses Lake. A one hour Ferry ride or a one hour drive from Seattle. We do Moses lake every year for a couple of weeks. There can be days when the wind comes up, but overall, we love it. Summertime its WARM.

Very nice Malibu, I like the all white.

wakejunkeygirl 09-16-2003, 5:28 PM
