This one only has wheels when in storage, Ive had it for a little while now just never took pictures of it, finally snapped a few now that the water is warmer. Enjoy ;)

Sweet. What kind is it? I can't tell in the pics. Whats it runnin? What made you choose closed bow over open bow? Sorry for the 100 questions... :p I love cruisin in the front of the open bow's especially on a rough lake, haha. Makes for an interesting ride.

I wanted to pick up a Tahoe runabout a few months ago, but I decided to be smart and just pay the goat off. Now Im getting rid of the bird so I will have to pick up another vehicle, meaning once again, no boat for me. For now I'll just keep borrowin the parents boat. It will still be a little while here before its boat weather though. Probably right around when gas hits close to 4 bucks :(.

Re: Splish Splash

Nice. What kind of water do you have it in? It looks like it has a pretty good V on it. I'll post up some boat pics when I figure out where I put them.

Found them. This is my parents 97 Ski Nautique. We had an 87 that I always used, but we sold it last year :( I'm gonna miss that boat.

Caution: Pictures may contain Ford 351.

Re: Splish Splash

shes a 93' wellcraft nova, spyder 280hrs when I bought her ~320hrs now. stock with a 350 mag, I think factory rated it at 240hp...and for the closed bow, I love the look of it (would kill for a scarab), and two well for me and my gf you know. and this thing sips gas, it may take me ~90$ if shes bone dry something like a 40gal tank, but man It's been well over a month since shes been to the pumps. And thats in salt water, she doesnt stay in the water, on a trailer...BUT just ordered a floatlift, and that'll be in in about 4 weeks, I cant wait. Helluva lot easier than dickin around with a trailer. And ya that thing has a REALLY deep V still cant haul *** in choppy water, but when calm she'll run about 60knots...and thats a nice ski boat, I just couldnt deal with a straight in-board, I tread in some pretty shallow water at the sand bars and islands, its just easier to trim up......and dood dont get another car get the boat...you already have the gto, drive it, thats why you got it...RIGHT!?!?

I've got winters here bud... :) I have to get another car at least for the snow. Plus, the way I drive the goat, it drinks gas (My own fault), which isn't good for the coverage area I have to drive for my work. Considering I have 2 cars and a motorcycle, and only use the goat in the nice weather, I put 10,000 miles on it in like 5 months, so I definitley drive it ;). Id like to keep the resale on it somewhat decent too so I can swap it for a new goat in '08, but yea, I def got it to drive it, just not 85 miles round trip commutes every day know what I mean?

You're right about the closed bow. It does look sleeker. My buddy and I are going to build a dock for my parents boat so we can leave theirs in the water too. Like you said, hauling that sh*t back and forth to the water is just wasted time and gas, so good thinking with your float lift. And of course, Scarab's are just bad ***. :D
