Going the distance

Bought my 96 Sport in the fall of 99 it had 9 hours on it. Sold it in 2008 with about 400 hrs. I loved that boat, everything was easy to get to, no major problems. I was ready for a vdrive, ballast and tower, plus the family was growing. My 04 SANTE has enough for my riding level. I doubt I'll upgrade for myself, but if the kids start to progress I'd consider it.

My neighbor has a '77 he bought new. Its soooooo ugly it looks good.Brown hull w/yellow..... but its pushing 36 years and he never upgraded, just now it has been demoted to pulling his grand kids on tubes.

DanielC the 97 is a better ski wake when I'm on the private lake, but its hard to fit 5 people and gear on the boat when we go open water. I know the ideal thing would be two boats, but I just can't justify it.

My 86 2001 has seen 7 summers so far. I used to put a bit more hours on per season. I think since I made my initial investment it has required an ignition switch, a starter soleniod, and one battery. Almost 600 hours since I've owned it. Hull and Transmission have over 1400 now I believe. It does exactly what I need it to. Barefoot, Slalom, Wakboard and Kneeboard. It also serves as a floating radio for hours on end by the sand bar.

If I ever upgrade that old girl will still be with me. As my first boat at age 19 I don't think I could part with it.
