Man that’s a pretty boat. Yes Bozeman is awesome (except all the people moving here) but you guys have warm water and a lot more lakes. My kids will barely get in the water because it’s always cold.

MTRBTR, Thanks! Yeah, our water is at least warm for a couple months. So you’re not a fan of the Bozefornians? Got that vibe from LOTS of locals there last fall when we were out fishing.

I currently have 6 boats in various condition 3 are comp boats . We bought the 210 in 08 for surfing after setting it up it has done a pretty good job for the last 10 years . The problem is me. I find surfing boring and driving at 10 mph for multiple people endless stops and turns with a over weight boat that handles like a barge gets me sea sick. My 210 has only seen water 3 times this year the comp and the pontoon have been 1 and 2 this year . The wife likes to air chair and slalom ski and I like driving a boat that handles like a Ferrari on water. The dogs like the comfortable easy ride of the pontoon on Sunday afternoon I don't know what the next big thing will be but after the wake surfing fad dies down I doubt these over priced one trick gas burners will be as popular.

I like this thread but we may be in the minority. I have always done a balanced load of all disciplines and I also find the slow plow a bit boring. Variety is the spice of life.

srock , I completely agree. I still like to surf once in a while, it just doesn't get my adrenaline pumping. It's more of a 3-Coors-lights-into-the-afternoon sport. I can get a pull pretty much whenever the urge strikes, so I don't have to abandon one discipline for the other. For my personal boat, I just wanted to lean into the ski thing while I can still push myself physically...and before my kids get corrupted . I can't say I won't go back to a crossover. It's just not going to happen until my kids can both slalom, or I can't.

..I'm also working on my look of disapproval toward surf boats as they pass.

Y'all have made my day - I stand united with this thread!

Got a couple of pics on the water/lift.

Great looking boat! Please tell me about that boat lift. Looks like it might stay in the water all winter?

[ajgear]

Johnny_Rock its a permanent pile lift. Those piles go down about 20 feet below lake bottom. It it moves, we’ve got BIG problems.
