clemsondave's 2008 196 Limited

[ClemsonDave]

Picked up my latest baby last week at the factory. Spent that week getting to know it at Okeeheelee. I also installed Stargazer to accompany the Zero Off that the factory installed. Notice the three GPS antennas?

I'm going to make a ski platform protector like I did on my '03. I have already spent quite a bit of time doing a little extra buffing to make the black 'pop.'

This will be a promo boat and of course is FOR SALE!!! Let me know if you are interested.

Black is the boat color of choice in Virginia this year. Looks great!

That is a true beauty.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I Love the 2008 SN Designs, and this one max's out the color.

Can't go wrong with black, looks great! For some reason I was expecting to see a purple/orange combo.

[ClemsonDave]

Thanks everyone. Jeff, this is my 3rd black 196. Come over to the warm side anytime. I was there today, no dry/wetsuit needed.

rbalan, I'd love the purple/orange, but it might be a bit hard to sell :grin:

Having both ZO and SG is great! You can actually diagnose course diminsions with both running at the same time. Very cool stuff!

We have a contract on a house over there now! It isn't waterfront, but it is water access. We'll certainly have to meet up.

What's the water temp over there these days?

[ClemsonDave]

I'll be up there this Sunday morning if you want to hook up. Where is the potential house? I've got a lot and huge garage in Longway Estates (next to Elk Creek Store).

I would guess the water temp is in the mid 70's. I had to take out the speedo/temp gauge to put in ZO and SG.

PM me if you need my cell #.

[NautiqueJeff]

Oh yeah, I remember that from when I ran PP and ZO together in my 236 last year. The house is in The Waters. Hopefully everything will work out. Wish I could meet up with you Sunday. My wife has a trip to Busch Gardens planned for that day though. Looking forward to getting out on the water soon though!

[ClemsonDave]

.... The house is in The Waters ....

Ah, the community that killed our slalom course!

If that doesn't come through, or if you want access before then, just let me know. You are welcome to use my access anytime.

[NautiqueJeff]

Hmmm... Didn't know that. That's not cool. I thought there were a few over on the warm side though.

Dave, is the dimple for a trick release set screw on the 2" diameter below the rope notch? I'm imagining that is what it's for. I have one of the older pylons, 93-00 and have to mount it on the top, which sucks IMO.

Dave. I must say that your boat is probably the sharpest looking boat I've seen in a long time. Love the color. Is the bottom silver cloud?
