So tomorrow I get to go pick up my first ever boat. 2005 Malibu V-Ride. I can't wait. I'm so excited that I hope that I will be able to sleep tonight. We are going straight from the dealership to the lake. =) Gonna rock

Will post pictures sunday or so

I didn't realize that I named this thread the same thing that the other guy that got one (the new xstar) did...oh well.

Congratulations! Nothing quite as exciting as getting your first boat - savor every bit of it.

Don't plan on getting any sleep tonight, though...

And have a great day tomorrow!

Congrats Kevin, It’s a bit like the night before Christmas, good to feel like a kid again isn’t it!! The other My New Boat thread got a bit ridiculous. You’re sure to have an awesome summer! Do post pictures it’s always great to see the excitement.

Thanks guys. I'm going to put a couple of pictures on here but I've got it at wakesiderides also

Unfortunately when we picked it up it was raining. We waited a little while and it stopped raining and the sun came out so we put it in the water but the wind was still blowing really hard so we couldn't do much except ride around...too bad.

My boat

Nice boat Kevin. I have one being built as we speak.

Any reason you opted for a S/A trailer?

Nice boat.

No real reason that I got the S/A. It's what it was sitting on. I couldn't see that it was worth upgrading and really couldn't afford to opt up for the tandem. We got a pretty basic boat with few options.

i thought dual axle trailer was standard.

(kevin_rx20) · (kevin_rx20) **Join Date: Apr 2005** 05-03-2005, 5:41 AM

I think that it is a standard dual axle trailer. But the dealership I was at went with the single and upgraded the boat to have the ballast system and illusion x tower on it and kept the same base price
