The new boat is home...

[Kokopelli]

We picked up our new Shockwave today! We also sold the old boat, so it has been a great day!
We are very happy with the way the boat turned out. We wanted to share some pics with you guys...

Very nice boat, congrats!!!!

[clownpuncher]

Congrats on the new ride. Looks awesome. That seemed like a quick turnaround. At least to me.
Lets get to Parker and break that mofo in.
You know that ain't a real boat until you spill a drink in it, right?

Yeah, they went out of their way to get it in time for our vacation next week. We've already been sitting in it in the driveway blasting the stereo and getting drunk! Can't wait to get it on Havasu!

It's the new convertible jet. You can choose either one! LOL :D
I think EF was just making a statement about jets in general?

that's what I was thinkin

[Excessive Force]

thats what i meant, i figure for river use why not go with a jet? i know its personal choice , just wondering if there were more drawbacks to jets.

[clownpuncher]

John - trust me when I tell you. The break-in period is just a conspiracy between the LE officials and the boat manufacturers to get people to slow down on the water. They figure 10-20 hours of low speed is better than nothing. The boat people are also in tight with the oil guys, so don't go for that early oil change BS. Once again, it's just another ploy.
I say just gas it and go. Get thosse redheaded sluts flowing and don't have a care in the world.
BTW, make sure I'm on the boat when all this happens :D :D :eek!: :D :D

Yeah, the river from Needles to the casinos is one area I haven't explored! :)

[HAULNZ]

Congratulations on the new boat. We can't wait to see it in person next weekend. :D

[Debbolas]

Beautiful Boat! The break in period I thought you were suppose to vary the speed of the boat. Just don't stay in one speed for a long time and WFO is a speed option:D
Is it a jet? I can't tell from the photo, thought I saw a prop back there....Our friend Ahhell has a jet and while he can skip on up past the Needles bridge (we will never go that way again) I guess it isn't as fuel efficent as a prop engine. (maybe it is just his boat?)
Congrats, have a blast with your new baby!:D

[welk2party]

Congrats! Looks nice.

[hd&boatrider]

Congrats on the purchase....Looks nice and you will enjoy it for many years.

Thanks! No, it's an I/O. After seeing your pics, I won't be going past the Needles bridge either! :o

I came up with Dock Focker (remember Meet The Parents?), but I got that look from the kids and a "Daaaaaaddd". It's kind of sticking though.

lol:D
Our kids are funny, whenever we play "our" music, they yell that the music doesn't match the boat and we need to play something else! Then they throw their CD's in and get upset when I freak dance..............LOL:D

[dmontzsta]

Congrats on the boat, Dock Focker is a great name.

OBNOXUS on the back.

[PlyaPlya22]

Nice Ride

[Kilrtoy]

I like DOCK FOCKER
also:D

[clownpuncher]

"Code 7" would fit ya perfect, but, maybe it's a little too cliche and probably nothing new?
Or what about the pc for "indecent exposure"?
Or maybe even "647F"

How bad could it be?

I don't know, Scream and Ahhell were talking about Ahhell's jet boat and saying how bad the fuel efficency was................I'm not sure if this is for all jets or just his boat...?

My son Mike (who is in Fire Explorers now) wants me to name my boat "Guns and Hoses" when he becomes a firefighter. He said that when he gets his boat, he will name it "Guns and Hoses II".

[MagicMtnDan]

Careful with the "hoses" stuff... :confused:

Pick what ever makes YOU happy....
