Get you mind out of the gutter. Took the new float out for its maiden voyage. All went well for just cruising, doing the 5 hour break-in. Love it so far. Wife was a little nervous but did great! The kids loved it! Well one was a little bored and under the weather.

NICE, once again congrats! It looks great on the water as well as on the land. Enjoy it. If I roll up to Whidbey this summer to see pops, I want a pull somewhere close by.

Congrats! And I'm glad you got the boat in the water as well.......... Hey, where's the best place to ride up there? My dad lives in Vancouver, and my two half brothers go to Skyview H.S. They have a cabin up in the Northwoods that has a nice reservoir which we've ridden a few times...... Is the river the best spot? Thanks! Enjoy the new toy and the family. It doesn't get much better!

Lake Merwin is a nice lake and the willamette in Portland has some world class riding. There is water everywhere up here. The Columbia can be a great place at times with nice sandy beaches all over.

Ryan - What a great looking boat and family too. You gotta be one proud wakeboard dad. I was in your shoes 10 years ago with my first Moomba. Life changing.

Gorgeous boat; I also think it would look real clean without the decals. Enjoy it!

the 5 hour break in. you really don't need to do that. my break in for my boat each year is driving back to the riding spot at all the different speeds(5,10,15 on and on). just don't run the boat full throttle for more than a minute. they drive the boats so hard back at the factories you only driving it for a very little time and then wakeboarding isn't going to hurt it at all.

Looks good Newt! Did you put in at Portco? I rode my bike down there and I was kinda shocked at how many boats were out. The parking area was packed and rigs were lined up all the way back to the entrance. Kind of looked like a middle of the summer afternoon.

Wow. Newty and D-Dub on the same thread.... Someone pinch me. We were out yesterday too, down at Willamette Park. We were the only boat out and had the whole river to ourselves. It was pretty nice. Sweet new ride Newty. Hope to see you guys more this spring.

Nice boat! I can't believe you let your dog in there. That's so foreign to me with their claws and fur/hair and all but then again I'm no dog person. I can just imagine the dog up on the sun pad looking at the water and the boat jossles a little and the claws dig into the new vinyl.

Picked up some camo water socks for the mutt. He doesn't shed at all. Problems solved. I was a little nervous my self about the nails but he's really gentle on the vinyl. He's not one of those spastic slide-all-over-the-pergo kind of dogs. Plus he picks up the crumbs from the kids! Cordless vacuum.

dogs on vinyl really are not bad... we don't take our dog out much any more only because of the hair and her trying to jump in other peoples boats, but we have had our boxer out a bunch and even our old great dane out boating a bunch... vinyl nowadays can withstand that anyday... We have never had so much as a mark and to be honest, not sure that I have heard of any friends having issues either... we missed you our today newty.... who is d dub? does he even exist?

Nice LSV! I like the colors. You picked a nice day to get her wet! What engine? 325HP, 340HP, or 409HP? Did you get the transom remote or is it a standard option?
