211 or 911

[CAN'TSKI]

I have made it through the Summer alive, and my wife has come to love the new 211. The only problem is the "tournament" wake doesn't show itself until about 36mph. I hinted to the wife that I had some neat colors picked out for a 196. When I told her the 211 needed a friend, she said "If you order a boat again without telling me, IT is over."
What do you think she meant there by IT? Was she saying no more boats after the 196? Should I surprise her with a second boat? Your sage advice will be appreciated.

"it" meaning you will be cut off from "it" for a very very long time. No matter what you do from that point on you will never see "it".

Good luck!

You thought the bruised ribs from the shopping cart was bad, I hate to think what is going to be bruised if you bought a second one without telling her!! Of course, she might like her pick of one in the divorce!! Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

Her love for the 211 of course! Once she samples the tasty wake behind the 196 she'll only want the 211 for cruising or surfing!

nice boat! i love the colors, and the 485's are sick... what do u have powering it? your thoughts so far?

The boat has the ZR6. My thoughts on this boat are hard to describe. What comes to mind is the biblical story of when GOD was asked who he was and what to call him. GOD said "I AM". My 211 with that stereo is the nautical version of I AM.
I have three ZAPCO amps boosting the speakers to outlandish clarity and loudity (?). I had a guy with about 20 yrs marine stereo experience put it together.
The only problem on this boat is the belly tank taking on water when the pump is not engaged. Evidently, CC is coming out with a bulletin to fix this. The intake for the belly tank gets to much pressure because of where it is placed.
If you are slaloming, you have to keep the belly pump going or the tank takes on water and the wake gets harder and harder. CC will have an answer soon.
I got pretty much ZERO work done this summer. I would still be at the lake , but my wife insisted my 13 yr old go back to school.

nice, the ZR6 is awesome for sure... do you have any more pics you could email or PM me by any chance?

[CAN'TSKI]

I will take more pics this weekend of the stereo setup and boat and PM Monday.

Now you have to buy the new boat just to know what is IT? Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

I think "IT" means her anxiety about having to think about a ski boat, when she is on the 211. You should eliviate that anxiety as soon as possible. My suggestion is to paint the 196 exactly the same, and only park one boat out at a time. Maybe she won't notice?
