what size/style/engine is your current boat?

 

I have a 16' 11" Valco Westcoaster with a 28 hp motor and aft helm. We'll prolly buy something in the 25 foot range give or take when the money is available. Just gotta send the wife out to work and pay for it LOL

 

oh yea, def need upgrade. get something you can ski behind. water skiing is the second best thing you can do with a boat other than fish.

 

LOL my boat will be a fishing only with a cuddy cabin/day sleeper. I want to get a day sailor eventually.

 

sailing just isn't my thing. i'm to active. I can ski like its instinct to me, and i love to fish, so i'll stick with those two. and a boat doesn't have to be built to ski behind it. we ski behind my grandparents 26' catamaran. but thats only if we don't have my buddies 19' ski only boat. that thing is bad-***. its got a 350ci chevy motor in it, and if you throttle too hard it will jerk the rope out of the skiers hands.

 

Wow I miss wakeboarding...

 

Yea I am pretty much the opposite, never been into waterskiing or jetski's. For one the fish mock me when I am on the water and do not attempt to drag them to the boat and 2 I've found it very hard to hold my beer while trying to ski.

 

Damn. That is a nice truck phins. Good buy. I had no idea you had a 10AE. I figured you had a RX-7, but a 10 AE! Have any pictures of 'er?

The platform is new and the Mazda 3 is the first car released using it. The new focus and volvo s40 or something will use it too. The engines in the 3 are mazda though. The 3 apparently handles better than the 3rd gen protege so I don't see the problem even if ford was apart of it. 3 companies pooling their resources means we get a better car for cheaper.. which is why the 3 is the same price as the old protege but 10x the car... and locally (ontario) the 3 is outselling the civic.
