Post subject:  The first weekend with the new boat
As many of you would be aware I finally took delivery of a H180 and finally got to try it out. It was in the water all weekend and we managed to get nearly 9 hours on the clock. Anyway without further ado here are some photos from last weekend.
The new boat tied up at its landing

Same spot different angle

We took the boat into Morgan and had fish and chips for tea. In the pic is Captain Ardy, Admiral Lizzy, our teenage sons(crew) and our dog Sandy.

One very happy and proud new owner namely Me

Hope this blows away a few of the winter blues for all of you in the Northern Hemisphere

I'll bet the kids are lovin' the shiny new boat!

I just tanked to a customer today (about his BMW), who was in AU. We've been talking for years .... he was complaining that the sweat was running down his arms as he was trying to wrench ....... Geeee, thanks Noel .....

The dog (Sandy) boats,canoes,swimming she loves it. The only problem is she usually goes swimming just before we go out in the boat or in the car. But hey it's a dog thing

Well done Ardy!! Awesome to see you enjoying the new boat after a very patient wait. She looks awesome in red and its a great feeling to know that day is just the first of many out on the water with the family.

May I also say that its quite fascinating to see what forum members actually look like!

ooohhh visions of summer in the northeast (yeah right...its freezing here)...but your pics warmed me up a bit...makes me want to go boating right now Ardy.
Boat looks awesome in red...and for a first attempt at wakeboarding your son looks like he is doing fine. Great to see people enjoying their boats and having some quality family time...its very important in this day and age.
Congrats and here's to continued sunny weather in your part of the world!

I know you are anxious as heck to get out in your new boat, but let me share this tough feeling I get...

My boat is inside the garage at our house. I walk by it a few times a day and EVERYTIME I say to myself "damn I wish it was summer"

Ardy, looks like you guys are having a great time, congrats for that. I have a question for you Aussie boaters though...whats with the HUGE registration numbers on your boat? Is that regulation or do you guys just like those big stickers?

118 F :shock: Well you can divide that by four and put a negative sign in front of it to see some of the extremes we are dealing with!
