I know exactly how you've been feeling. Brings back good memories of my first month with mine a couple summers back. Enjoy!

Congrats Ardy, mighty fine looking vessel and crew you have. I also like the boarding area you built as well...very functional.
Enjoy your summer season...

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?

Yeah it's reguation to have rego numbers 6 inches , and besides everyone knows size DOES matter (hehehe)

Nice boat, Ardy! Well done. By the way, I trust all you guys down under are well away from the fires I'm seeing on the news. That's definitely not a good situation. 118 F doesn't help. I never gave it much thought about how hot it gets there. Is there rain in sight for the fire areas and how much boating season do you have there?

Have fun!

Looks nice and just the right time with the weather you guys have been having in Adelaide. Enjoy the boat.

No, we are no where near any bush fires, and as for rain, Adelaide where I live had only 1 millimeter of rain during January.
Boating season for me usually starts in October and finishes at the end of April,for the rest of the year we get the canoes out not because you don't nice weather,but because the water is too cold for me to ski in.

Same across all of Australia - 6" letters & numbers. Must be that our eyesight is not so good south of the equator... we all know what causes that..!! :lol:
