Is this the one for me?

[Levi900RR]

congrats levi! tandem trailer sunscape with 70 hours. crazy!

i've been looking since I bought my sunscape in january, and there are not many of those boats in the $20-25K range.

peter w/ smooth water is installing 2000 lbs. of ballast (3 jabsco's) and the samson blade tower for me. I'll post some pictures.

while they are really sweet, it's tough to find a T3.

it's REALLY hard to find someone who gives the 02-04 sunscape 21 a bad review.

I hope we both love our boats!

How many hours on motor you thinking this summer?

Thanks man, I'm looking forward to seeing yours with the Blade, I do have a line on a T3 right now not sure of the price yet...

I am going to mess around with the 3 bags that I already have this year filling them manually, once I feel I have the weight exactly where I want it I will design an integrated system.

I put 50 hours on the Skier last summer and hope to put at least that on the LSV. Weather and workload heavily impact that though.

Think it's worth the 200 bucks to have them shrink wrap it for the trip home?

[99response]

It will be $200 you spend to make sure you have beautiful weather all the way home, go for it.

[wakesetter8796]

Worth it. That's less than the cost to fix gel damage and the time spent cleaning if it rains.

[Levi900RR]

That was my thought... I think I can get them to throw it in on the deal.

[wakesetter8796]

Cool, when is the ETA to your house?

[Levi900RR]

Planning on leaving at 4AM Friday... Picking her up and getting as far back North as I can Friday. Probably end up crashing somewhere for a few hours Friday night and finishing off the drive Sat AM.

You, Sir, must be extremely pumped about this! I'm excited for you!

[Steve B.]

Have a safe trip and all that ! When you get her home, please take a few pic's in the driveway and stuff. It will kinda theraputic for all of us to see you have nice new boat !!

and if at all possible try to capture the glee of the rest of the family...

[Levi900RR]

I am going to try and snap a bunch of pics of the whole day. I am pretty sure I can take pics with my phone, upload them to photobucket and link to them all from my phone - REAL TIME.

[wakesetter8796]

Did you get the shrink wrap as part of the deal?

[windy1]

whats the record for number of pages in a thread

[wakesetter8796]

Ya really haha

[Levi900RR]

The dude didn't commit, but I'm going to get him to at least split the shrink wrap job...

[JB-FOOT]

Hopefully the "DUDE" doesn't read this forum and this topic!

[Levi900RR]

The dude doesn't appear to be a Bu Crew regular... I'll know more when I get down there. Either way I want it wrapped for the trip home.

[JB-FOOT]

Levi,

I think we all need to see a "LIVE FEED" of your entire trip....from driveway to driveway! We have all invested a lot of time on your search for the perfect boat.

It is the least that you can arrange for us....maybe someone can create an APP for that in the Android and Apple marketplace.....

It is at least a heck of a lot more interesting than most of the TMZ, OMG, or Reality TV crap that is out there!

JB-Foot...

live noggin cam on your forehead.

Worst day ever... 11 hours down. Boat looked great, ran like it had water in the gas. They couldn't fix it. Heading home empty handed. 2 days off work and $400 in fuel down the drain. I'll give you more details when I'm not on my phone and I've caught up on sleep.

[jk13]

Oh man....

Are you still first in line, or did you walk away completely? Whatever happens, best of luck Levi.

p.s. Good for you for not just taking it and trying to deal with it after the fact. Must have been difficult.

[shawndoggy]

my daughter and I did a 20 hour round trip like that to pick up a boat and I ended up driving away from it too.

Man... That sucks! I'm sure it's something pretty simple too. Bad battery or battery terminal contact, bad fuel pump, fuel filter. If they get it fixed, they'd damn well better be willing to drive to a lake somewhere in the middle and meet you next time.

This one may actually go the distance towards setting the page record...
