Finally Home on Days Beach

I've been on the site for years admiring and after a few great but wrong boats I finally found the perfect one. I love it, I put 60+ hours on it in our short summer and enjoyed every minute.:cheers:
Gotta thank Mr. Lamon for getting me to quit being a slacker and post some pics.:thumb:
 
the guys who got me into boats

My Dad in his early 80s enticer? photo credit to John, correct me on the model, too many "e" names for me to memorize.
It's max rated for a 125, so he puts a 200 on it with a 19 pitch 4 blade, holy holeshot!

Bob Cruse, fastest guy on the lake, grew up watching him blast by, he's got at least 4 boats, still skis in his late sixties,

Finally got to go for a ride in Bob's Cougar with twin 280s, 0-100 in a blink, pure awesomeness

Man this is really making me anxious for next summer, only 5 months to go! It's currently -36C where I'm working right now. Rediculous cold.:sick:
 
Glad to see you posting buddy!

I found a few pics on my phone from that day we met for lunch in devils lake.
