New Boat is FINALLY HOME!!

Wow!  VLX + LSA is a rare bird, indeed!  I bet that thing is a total hot rod in the water. 

You know, I had a ‘12 VLX and it was a super fun boat to drive even with the 350.  That’s a really light boat (by today’s standards); I can’t imagine it with 500+ horsepower. Plus you have that super light, responsive throttle and laser like handling. Forget wakeboarding and surfing, I’d just want to DRIVE that boat all day!

Thank you! YES, I am told it's probably the only one ever made. It is a BLAST to drive, only had it out for the initial test drive. It has a larger prop on it now, so top end is lower but literally jumps out of the water, it's incredible. I can't wait to get it out and enjoy it!!

What lake is that? Looks familiar.

Small lake outside of Oxford, MI. That's where it used to be kept.

Ahh okay, thought it looked like Watkins Lake in the first two. Sweet boat though!

I think it is. Small private lake where we went to test drive it.

Wow, brings back memories of working with my dad on the weed cutter seeing that weed unloader belt.

Lol...I'm not sure you can drive a boat to get an Old Style anywhere else but Wisconsin.  Great looking boat.

I saw that too.  Makes me miss home.

Awesome!  Do you use it around A-town or northwoods it?  I grew up in Appleton.  Whole fam damily is still there.

I might use in around Appleton, it will spend most of the time on the chain in Waupaca.
