      RE: Finally!!!

      That is a great looking boat!!!! I love the black accents throughout (windshield frame, speakers, guages, carpet). I'm sure you will love it and have a ton of great memories from using it.

      Before you do to much trailering get those ratchet strap brackets on the trailer turned on the same angle as the straps. I had to do the same to my Illusion trailer when I got it. Just one nut to loosen on the back side and adjust.

              One last thing in case you want details, fully loaded (I think every option except the deluxe fire extingusiher). Also has the ZR6, Wetsounds 485 and 420. Trailer is an Illusion trailer - it's almost a pity during the season it will be sitting in storage while the boat is in its lift. I wasn't sure if I was going to go with gray or white on the seating. Glad I picked gray.

              Finally, I love the carpet.

                Actually, the ratchets were tying down the platform supports and not the "eyes" like they are supposed too. But those may be off angle too. Thanks for the advice.

                    Thanks. It's been a long wait. Today I am going to put it in storage will it will sit for 4 months, which really sucks.

                      I looked a little more closely at your avitar and have to tell your boat was a little bit of an inspiration. Certainly on the trailer (I think we have the same one) - and by the way do you have yellow pinstriping on yours? And I debated on doing an interior like yours, all white but with red piping. I really like your yellow piping on the all white. Nice touch.

                        That's such a great Boat! Congrats! I'm working my tail off to upgrade to one (hopefully) by the end of next season. You should get it out on the water and get a bunch of wake pics (riding/surfing/everything)!

                        But congrats, that is such a great looking setup! PDT_003

                          Thanks for the compliments. I don't have any pinstriping on my trailer. I kept that trailer when I went from my 07 to my 08. My 07 boat was vapor blue/white/vapor blue. That's got to be a real bummer to have to put your boat in storage after just getting it. Were you at least able to get it wet first?

                              Sad to say they are stock amps. Ordered the boat with stereo and no speakers. Added only the 485's and 420. Gave the dealer many chances to sell me an amp, add an extra battery, etc. They said it was not necessary. So the good news is they weren't se;;ing just for the sake of selling.

                              By the way, my dealer was Houston Watersports Complex. Cliff (owner) and Derrick (Salesman and a visitor of this website) were both very helpful. Derrick's tastes are more like mine, even though I am twice his age. So he definitley helped influence and reinforced my decisions. Cliff, probably a few years younger than me, is more conservative. Neither would let me get a lightbar.
