Sad day......

[auto]

Today everything was finalized and the 2007 Malibu VLX was sold, it will be gone on Monday

This was my 3rd BU, not counting ski team boats and the roommates. It is a bittersweet day, on one hand I hate to see it go, but this season with the river being unusuable, the chica starting her MBA it is time. With the injuries and age, it is time to move to a different style of boat.

I will still be at the local events, hanging here, but will be looking at a new style of boat.

[Malibuzer]

Sorry to hear that. Just stay out on the water enjoying yourself.

[MalibuNation]

Good luck with your new future.

ahh just remember the good times you had on your VLX

Sad to see Shane, if you guys are ever down this way, give us a shout. You've got a pull here.

I don't know you at all, but I'll give you 2 years before you get the itch and get another BU! Maybe you're getting too old for it but the kids, the kid's kids, and their kids will still need someone to pull them!!

It's not over till it's over. As long as you are on the water it's all good. I used rafts and inner tubes to scratch the itch till I got my BU back.

I hope you find what you looking for, right now is a great time to buy. I don't know what I'll do when I have to cross this bridge, but it won't be in the next 10 yrs then we'll see what happens maybe back to the mini cruiser days with the 500hp Big Blocks just to get that rush back

I think that would be taking it too many steps backwards

is the river you refer to the Brazos? I used to ski/barefoot there before heading north. Is the water really low which is why you say unuseable? just curious....

Because of injuries I can understand...but age??? Please tell me your birth year in your profile is wrong. I was in high school in 1971 and I still board and ski. Age is a fact, but getting old is a state of mind. I see owning my Bu for another 8-10 years as that's when my youngest will be leaving the nest. After that who knows. Well, good luck and God's speed.

"that's when my youngest will be leaving the nest.

Oh ya a sad day but dad traded the old V drive for a real ski boat.

Yep the old bones hurt and arteries is setting in but who says I half to stop playing. I think I feel the best after a good hard ski.

Thanks Ronnie. Still have the duck hunting boats, probably will buy a kayak in the near future. It really about time, the chica is doing the MBA, then I will. At that point we will be looking at lake house on big lake, Texoma, Eufala. Boats being considered are cruisers and of course a Fountain. Not sure which way we will go, but will always be boaters. Have a couple years to save and decide which one fits.

We have the Hobie Mirage Outfitter kayak. Very easy to maneuver, very stable and the pedals leave your hands free for Fishing, Hunting, Photographing etc. Lots of storage too. Full size fishing rods can be stowed away.
