Advice Needed for Pure Slalom Boat, on a budget...

[BlknYlwT22]

Yes. Ideally a second yellow boat. Hard to beat how that yellow pops off the lake.

Great minds think a like. Just agreed to a price on this boat last night.

Blknylwt22, that boat looks super clean. Congratulations.

Trying not to rush this.... but dang it, it will be getting colder soon

The LX always looks the best to me. Full size observer seat & easy enough access to the bow. Never cared much for the runabout look of a walk through. Good to hear of your ski experience behind the Tantrum! Great slalom boat maybe one of the best ever!

[asnowman]

The guy that owns the tantrum loves it, in fact he has two. One here in Maine, the other at his winter home in Florida. He doesn't see the need to upgrade.

Another thought, maybe keep looking used and in the back of your mind watch how long that lxr sits at your dealer. Might get pretty cheap if they have it in the spring

Ooooh..........I like that one in St. Paul. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/boa/5155855818.html

OP......you already have one yellow boat that you are keeping, and you want another the same color? Just making sure I'm following correctly.

Odd that it has a CA phone number.

[ibelonginprison]

Odd, but not reason for serious concern. Lots of people keep their cell #'s after moving.

Have a friend that moved from Florida, to Colorado, to Texas, then back to Florida.

Never got rid of his Tampa #.

We use to move every six months never any longer then two years, military. I would have loved to have been able to keep a cell phone and a number. No cell phones in my days.

1995 ish Mastercraft PS190 with LT1 in it. Low to mid teens in nice condition. I have gotten pulled by lots of boats thru the course and it's my favorite and the LT1 makes it seriously scoot. Fun boat.

Does anyone know what the weight difference is between a monsoon and a hammerhead? Just curious

[DOOFUSisaCAT]

both are 350 blocks...the hh has a different crank that accounts for the larger displacement longer throw (stroked) as compared to the monsoon. most everything else as far as pistons and such would be negliable weight difference.

[asnowman]

ok, thanks just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something as we compare boats.

[DOOFUSisaCAT]

for weight savings...as far as the engine...go with the LS3 or LSA....both are aluminum so probably 200+ pounds lighter than cast iron

[asnowman]

Anyone near Omaha willing to go check out a boat? I found this one in Valley, NE. I talked to the owner already, it looks clean, but this time before i fly there, I figured its worth a shot to see if anyone is nearby and could look at it first. Only thing wrong, its not Yellow..... But red looks great too

Nice boat. Nearly exact reverse color combination from mine. I would think that you could get that for $25 or less. FWIW, I paid $24 for my '06 with 165 hours. It's not free of blemishes, but it's also not been abused. Can't say enough about the Gen 1 LXi.

[asnowman]

yes, gen1 RLXi is definately what we want. Last weekend, DaveMac was kind enough to take my wife and i out for a ski on saturday. it was great to meet another crew member, but even better to know how nice is is to be behind a nice, tight RLXi.
