    Thanks on both accounts. I drove my wife and my buddy (doug69 who recommended the 210 lol) crazy throughout the decision process. I likely wouldn't have picked these colours were I ordering it myself but I have to admit, it does look pretty badass. It's a bit more flashy than what we were after originally but it looks awesome on the water. I think we'll be happy as the boat has nearly every conceivable option.

      Pretty famous boat. It's also been on national TV! Lol

      Great boat . Hopefully the temporary theft worked to your advantage in price negotiations during your purchase?

        Congrats!

        RE: sleeve....I had that done to a trailer years ago to make it fit in my garage, though on your setup it looks like it's be a heavy / difficult piece to maneuver.

        Also, I use an electric dolly to push mine at an angle in the garage. I typically back the trailer over some pieces of cardboard (or even garbage bags) to let the tires slide sideways a bit as I push the tongue into place. It's not a problem. I'd think a triple axle will work doing the same thing, but you'll want to be extra careful about loading up the axles and having the trailer move back toward its original position when you release the dolly.

        PM me if you want the dolly info. I don't have it handy, but I can look for it if it'll help you. IIRC, I paid around $1200 or so.

                Finally! Haha all jokes aside nice boat. I was wondering the same thing about those stolen boats there being a discount. Were any of them damaged in that little run away?

                  Very nice boat, congrats!

                  A bit back in the thread, someone asked for more details on how I set up my G21. Note that I keep it in a marina on the water and often go out with just one other person so I don't have any people weight to rely on. Here's how I weight it for wakeboarding and surfing.

                  Wakeboarding: NCRS: 3, 23.7 MPH. Ballast is full. 400lbs of lead lead under passenger seat to offset driver and prop torque Another 400lbs of lead under the rear seats on both sides to make up for the lack of passengers.. (I often have just the driver in the boat). Wake is huge and clean.

                  Surfing: NCRS 0, NSS 0, 12.2 MPH. Ballast is full. Same lead as above. 1000lb sumo sack full in the rear seat (I flip up the back of the rear seat, but don't pull it out. This makes a very nice place to hold a sack. Sumo sac with 4200 GPH pump fills/drains in just 2-3 minutes. If I have a big crew and I'm using that seat, then I don't fill the sack.

                    Nope, none were damaged from what I understand. And there are no stolen boat discounts. This one has 60 hours from being used in the Canadian Waketour Championship so would be similar to your normal demo model discounts.

                    I also want to give huge props to Wizard Lake Marine! I was really worried about selecting a dealer that was 3 hrs drive way if honestly, I couldn't feel better about it. Ron and the gang at WL have treated us incredibly well. Their level of care and customer service is absolutely top notch. No games pricing, no nickel and diming, quick responses to questions, and just a real sense of being part of the WL/Nautique family. They've actually gone above and beyond in a few other areas as well that I won't get into but suffice to say, I feel like I've made a friend, not just a business acquaintance in Ron. Call me sappy but these guys really live by their motto of "Family Run, Family Fun".

                            I have a KTM Snowbike already. Don't think I have any room (or money) for anymore toys. If anything, I can't find the time to use the ones I have enough as I'd like as it is.

                            Although, I could switch up to a KX500 Snowbike. Hmmmm.....
