Hey Jamin,  We can be there Friday or Saturday.  We will be in Colorado Springs on Friday and if your planning on going to the lake that day then Lets do that day and we'll all go wakeboarding on it it.

what a beautiful boat! Congratulations! Just don't kick us to the curb now with our rinky dink rice burners.

Brent- Sounds cool, what time will you be in Co Springs?  I'm thinking we will probly be down from the mountains early afternoon, maybe 2.  We'll probly go to Chatfield State Park, so let me know if you need directions.  You can show me some of those sweet tricks, but be sure to wear a wet suit- it'll be chilly.  U bringing your own board?  What do you ride?  Can't wait....

Fest, we'll propably be there about 2.  So I think it's about 45 minutes to Castle Rock so we could be there about 3.  Ya, just shoot me some directions from CSprings

BEAUTIFUL boat, absolutely beautiful - congratulations.

I can just picture myself towing it to the lake behind my Volvo C70! Actually, I picture my little car sliding INTO the lake as I apply brakes on the ramp-

Have you considered changing the title of this thread?

I'll be bringing my own board,jacket, but my drysuit needs a new seal so I'm SOL there and just have a heater top!  My board is a 05 Premier DNA 141 and 06 Zues Bindings.

[festivus]

sweet, I have a shorty you can use, we keep a loaner on board for just such an occasion.

I had a few inquiries into the size difference... I was surprised at how may components are the same, but maybe all v-drives (etc...) are made by the same company.  So the final Mi Nina run will be Friday, the water will probly be mid 50's.  It'll be sa-weeet.

Well I will be interested in the fuel usage difference between the Toyota and Malibu. Please let us know.
Enjoy.

That 247 is HUGE!! The S22 is a big boat, it looks weenie compared to that beast! Too bad you can't keep them both.

An aircraft carrier vs. a destroyer-

My E21 will fit in one of the cupholders!

I'd trade anyone the gas bill.  The dealer didn't even sell it to me with a full tank.  It was like at 1/4.  Took it in for covers today.  I checked the tongue weight by measuring the distance from the ground to the bottom of the hitch...it was exactly the same, to the 1/8 of an inch, for both of those boats.

Holy cow, that's a GREAT picture - so glad you did that. Trip out that our whole cockpit can fit aft of your driver's seat. HUGE. About the tongue weight...surely your triple dizzle has something to do with that, but also reinforces my suspicion that our trailers weren't trimmed right and there's a lot of extra tongue weight. Someday (I PROMISE!!!) it will be nice to find a local scale to use to figure out just what the hell's up with our rigs.

That's a really nice boat you got there, even if it is Brand X.

Thanks, I am glad to know that my S22 will still be in the family.  I am sure Brent will take good care of it.  Anyone have any daughters they have married off?  I haven't yet, but I think I wil already know how it feels.
