Mine just needs a new temp gauge and she’s ready to go for another season. Already troubleshot it to the gauge itself so just need to order a replacement. I figure the break between winter hobbies and summer hobbies should give me time to get some work done on the house I’ve been putting off too long. ![http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1323/537608938_2749ea70b4_z.jpg?zz=1](http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1323/537608938_2749ea70b4_z.jpg?zz=1) ![http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2427/3837846521_ebdfa4cf4f_z.jpg](http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2427/3837846521_ebdfa4cf4f_z.jpg) ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8439/7758755242_08dbd36ba7_z.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8439/7758755242_08dbd36ba7_z.jpg) ---

Easy to tow, plenty of space, plenty of power, it turns, it stops and has a great factory sound system. Oh yeah, and it won’t cost us $150 to go from the bottom of Canandaigua lake, to the top and back again.

Same thing I used to think, up until I had a really good look at this. Here’s my deal. I’m not willing to spend more than 30k on a boat. During most of our outings, we’re with a bunch of people. I also hate traditional pontoon boats. I also don’t want to go more than 2-3 years old. Leaves me with very few options. The stuff they’ve been putting out over the last 5 years has been pretty decent. ---

It can’t be THAT difficult. If the boat it setup to your skill level, there isn’t any reason why you can’t learn. If you’re behind a v-drive or direct drive ski or wakeboard boat, I would recommend a speed around 20-21mph and a rope length of 60 feet. Dump the ballast if the wake won’t clean up, then have at it. If you’re behind an inboard/outboard, you should shoot for the same speed, but you might have to adjust your rope length to get into the sweet spot on the wake. Also, the following video should help [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/8/a8b8d5a636bc59603ef225b0bb7c1e5ab4291e9e.jpeg "How to Wakeboard: Wake Jump Variations") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckkf840HZE4) ---

I keep going back and forth between a deck boat or a pontoon boat to use as a ferry to get people back and forth to the island. I can’t wait for the ice to break up. ---

That would be a touch decision where your place is. I’ve been all over there in every kind of boat you could imagine. I think in your exact situation, I would do pontoon. Those are nice to have anchored on the sandbar also. ---

Those are nice to have anchored on the sandbar also. We’ve been leaning towards a pontoon. I think it might work better as a barge for moving building materials too. The advantage to the deck boat is that it would handle the big lake a little better. I’m hoping my in-laws decide to buy a boat, so I don’t need to make a decision, lol. ---

I’ve ventured through the channel more than once in an old 17-18’ boat, and got caught in some scary chop in my young and stupid days.
