2006 196

Is the 22off bump that much better than the RLXi?

SGY - I think we know someone that will say "no"! How is summer treating you? I was going to be headed your way in a few weeks but travel for the balance of the year was canceled.

Eastie - that one fits the description of "red", "closed-bow", "AWSA-approved" and I don't see a tower within 10 feet! :razz:

This one does too but it's not for sale at any price. You have good taste!

Now if I can only get my money tree growing! Both real beauties for sure.

Congrats Rod I look forward to hearing what you get next spring, but I think you are going to be thrilled with your 196!

I think I'm being made fun of!!!!!! Anyway, ski36 I don't remember you having any trouble getting through the buoy's with an RLXi.....

Rod- Man you get around brother! You've bought and sold more boats in the last 4 years than I have ever owned! Good luck with this one.

Eastie- that boat you have pictured above is nice looking! That your's now- wink, wink.

Does he leave his garage unlocked or something? :grin:

Nice boat Rod. Love those colors. Is the 22off bump that much better than the RLXi?

Nice going on the personal best.

what bump?? :grin:

Skisix - definitely no complaints about your RLXi. That's a sweet pull. Don't encourage Eastie to come north to steal my ride though, OK?!? You south/western guys can feel free to come get the yellow ones though.

Did I see that you were a guest coach in Acapulco? You're somebody now!!

Eastie coming to the dark side?????

That your boat 36short? That's a sweet looking boat! I think Eastie has his hands full right now.

If I ever get to your neck I will be calling...

I was a guest coach last year and must have done an ok job because I got myself another week planned for next year! That has little bearing on my being somebody though- I'm still the same old nobody I have always been.

You are welcome to ski with me anytime you are in the area but you'd probably ski behind my club's Response LX. My boat is in the back yard and my lakes are less than desireable for course skiing so unfortunately my boat doesn't see much course action unless I take it up north.

Sorry about stealing your thunder Rod! This has been quite the threadjack!

[SGY]

Rod, again, nice boat. Glad to hear there's no bump at 22 off--only relevant though when I ever get there. If I ever had the opp to choose colors on a 196, mine would be identical. Love that red...

Ski36, I thought course skiing was abundant in your neck? You can't get your 196 on your club lake? Surely folks wouldn't mind skiing behind that boat???

[ski36short]

Last year I took the 196 to the club lake for a day and all that skied it loved it. I no longer have the V8 4wd truck (or any car for that matter) necessary to get it in and out of there. There are courses on the lake I live on but I ski really badly there - like a pass worse than anywhere else. It's demoralizing, as is waking up at the hours necessary to ski there... Plenty of other options in lakes nearby, only limited by $$$!

I missed this thread, very nice looking boats!

Rod, you sold it, so what are you getting? An SVone?
