    Apparently my brother is looking into that '04 Ski 206 that was at the boat show. Maybe he'll have something to post in the next few days! I see you finally have a boat in your signature, when did you get your's and did you have your own before too?

                    The LED lights are for the trailer--On the weekends I travel over two mountain passes to get to our house on the river. Seems like every idiot--no matter how fast I am driving has to pass me. I want to make certain they see me long before they hit me.

                    The Air Chair has become a crowd favorite--nothing like the feeling of floating through a tight canyon on summer evening. My dealer and I are working on some mounting options--tower has obvious disadvantages.

                    I am looking at making some enclosures for the tower that will accept lights. Like to ride on Lake Chelan--Water Clarity is 100 feet (Big Cold Swimming Pool) But is very crowded except late evening and at 5:00 AM.

                    You will love the 216! Congradulations.

                      Ahh...i see.... But i don't understand why the tower is a disadvantage for the air chair, wouldn't it be easiest because you can put the hydrofoil on it? It does take up a lot of space and is not an easy thing to move. I skyski myself and our friends are lucky enough to have a lakehouse, se the skyski is kept there. Also a little confused about what you mean with the tower lights enclosures... Can't you just get a tower and stick some lights on? Just drill 'em in? Our boat is gonna be taken to a place called The Sound Concept which usually works on cars. This is gonna be his frst boat! They sell all of the lights and speakers and stuff...The drive has gotta be awesome through the mountains! I agree with the LED idea for the trailer, we already put some on our old 82 ski trailer.

                      And i've got one more question...(**** i really do sound like an idiot) why exactly do you want a naked boat? When i went to the factory i saw a boat being made naked. It was all neutrual...not even writing or stripes on it.

                        lcap,
                        What was/is the advantage to having the dealer install the heater and shower? Are they doing it free of charge?

                          My dealer installs the heater in the gunnel port side next to the passenger, the tube reaches four seats. Factory installs the heater tube beside the gull wing seat, which allows only one, maybe two people to use it.

                          They also like to mount the shower so the controls and shower head are easily accessible. In the NW I can ski/ride in 70 F water one day and in 56 F river water the next. This requires constant fiddling with the shower.

                          The dealer also will not order towers from CC painted. Too much shipping damage.

                          Its nice having a dealer that only sells and uses CC. Because of this, they set the boats up in a way that works for where we live and play.

                          Nothing is for free!

                              Icap--

                              Looking forward to seeing some pics of your new baby. I kind of like the "naked" idea. I've only seen that on older Nauti's (after the decals have seen better days). Who installs the rollers for the prop guard? Is it just some welding and what kind of rollers do they use? We liked the idea when we saw them on MC's trailers...we were thinking of installing them on our '04, but didn't know who we should go to. Cheers to warmer weather!!
