Looks like the only performance boat there wasn't for sale!!  That's  why I quit going to any of the boat shows!! :smile25:

I figure you would love that Scarab! think.gif

Yeah..........right!!!  I am curious if they have to pay Larry Smith for the rights to the Scarab name like Wellcraft used to back in the day. Actually......I'm not sure if Larry Smith is still alive? Either way they have ruined a good name using it on those POS.

There was a Wake boat there that the stereo was so loud, it made it sound like a concert was happening in the NRG Center. Didn't matter where you where, you heard it loud and clear.  crazy.gif

Probably with an EZ payment plan making it simple for more retards to get on the water. Bad enough they annoy others with their shitty dock crushing wakes, but I guess with a loud stereo at least you can hear them coming which gives you time to prepare for their passing. :smile24:

We laughed and wondered what type of special person you have to be to need that thing. I'm all about a good stereo with some good jams, but why does a skier have to hear the music? They should focus on the task at hand like skiing! crazy.gif

Probably just another way to attract attention so people can see how cool they are.. or so they think. The HEYLAM factor is high in a lot of those knuckleheads. crazy.gif :smile30:

One thing I can say about the trend in new boats, They are getting ugly! The wake boats are going with this squared off bow that looks stupid! I guess I'm a little biased being a beak boat owner! :smile14:
We went to look at the toons for the most part. I think my dad is going to pick one up once he is done with his boat house re-model. It would be nice to have a boat loaded with couches to go cruise the lake every once in awhile! :smile17:

Part of the design to make bigger or different shaped wakes I would imagine. :smile24:

Now a pontoon boat, having one of those in the stable would be pretty cool. When we went to Arkansas we rented a pontoon a couple different times & was nice just to throw everything on it & go. Not have to put this here... and put that over there.. and still make room for someone else to sit, etc. It was a 24 footer with a 115 on it maybe? It cruised along pretty good & rough water was no problem, just roll right through it. We actually looked around for a smaller one after we got back home. Be nice for the river.. but I'd still miss my boat while I was using it. :smile14: :smile16: On the other hand, try transporting 9 people & all their assorted shit somewhere in an 18 foot jet boat, lol crazy.gif Makes a pontoon look pretty good. :smile28:

Yea, he likes the 20' with the 115 on the back. Seems to have plenty of room, and it will fit in his boat house. :smile30:
