It was hard to see her go, but it's over...

[River918]

After working very hard over the past 1+ year..........
We finally sold the Shockwave last night. The new owner, Tom (A.K.A. DesertRiverRat) and his two kids (16 and 18) will be taking their maiden voyage Saturday in Havasu. If you guys see them out there, make sure to welcome them with open arms. Tom's been out of boating for 20+ years, so please don't hesitate to lend a helping hand if you see him.
There were alot of great memories in that boat (if you guys only knew ;) ;) ), but it was time to move on. Now the fun part, time to start shopping for her replacement. We have a semi-short list and we'll be heading out within the next month to talk to various builders. We are looking at a winter time build....
P.S. Since we're boatless, we'll be looking for rides for the summer. And yes, we will be paying for gas, food etc... If anyone needs someone to help out with the loading and unloading at the ramp and a hottie to lay around on your boat, hit us up. Mrs. '918 is an expert at driving the boat and Mr. '918 just got a new speedie...:D :D :D

Congrats, they got a great boat. You have a lot of pictures though that will help you remember all the good times you had on that boat. Plus, the new one will bring new memories before you know it.

If I remember the story right, the Mrs. handles the boat during launches - which I really need, and you clean the hull when it comes out...PERFECT! We'll call you when we're getting ready to come back in so you can have the trailer in the water and be ready for cleaning! Lose the new speedie (the image of you cleaning in a speedie is too much) and you're covered for the summer on (well the Mrs is, but at least your around it) your old boat.
Isn't it great to see your baby went to such a nice guy???

[DILLIGAF]

Congrats and it must be a relief to finally move it.

Kinda bitter sweet to be honest with yah. This boat had everything on it I could ever want, and I know that I will probably have to cut a few things out on the new one to get in under budget. The Mrs. and I are excited to start looking at new ones, at least 'til we see what they're gonna cost....

[That Guy]

You know you have an open invite with us any time...congrats and good luck with the new search....:)
