The New Boat!

So this is my first time posting anything to the blog. That’s mainly because Janae says I’m not allowed. She has made an exception in this case but has limited me to exclusively talking about the new boat. It’s pretty great and I’m pretty sure that it’s #3 on the most important events of my life. It’s a 21’ (20’9”) 2004 Mastercraft X10 wakeboard edition with 350 HP and only 80 hrs. In comparison to our old boat (2000 Moomba Mobius), its 3 inches longer, but has more horsepower, more ballast, and it has a deeper V, so it rides a lot smoother on rough water. The X10 also sits higher out of the water and so it doesn’t take on water. The ride is amazing, which may be partly due to the Perfect Pass® system that keeps the speed steady so all you do is steer the boat. The other part of that could be the wakeboard that came with it. The 140cm Liquid Force Balance with CWB Zeus bindings gives the smoothest, most predictable ride I’ve ever had. Another key feature is the Clarion sound system that you can actually hear while you’re out wakeboarding.

Janae's 2 cents:

So, just to set the record straight I have never stopped Rick from posting on the blog it is highly encouraged from me. I don't think I have ever seen Rick as happy as when he saw that boat, he told me it was the 3rd happiest day of his life after our wedding and the birth of Wyatt, but that may have been to spare my feelings I really think it was number one. Rick was so happy about the boat I really thought he was about to cry over the shear joy of it all. On Monday I saw the sun rise and set on the boat, if that can clue you in to Rick's feelings/obsession.
