New Ski Boat

I know it's been awhile since I last posted. I promise to get some more pics of the family in another post.

But we just bought this boat and I wanted to get some pics out there of the new rig.


It's a used boat that we bought from the original owner. We can't wait to get it out on the water.

Here is the listing from craigslist:
We're selling our 2001 Bayliner Capri 185 with rare Olympic Limited Edition package. The package includes the navy blue/white color scheme shown in the pictures. This is a great wakeboard/ski/family/starter boat and ready to take you immediately out on the water. Get a jump start on the summer and enjoy this clean, professionally maintained and well cared for boat. The boat has never been in salt water and has always been garaged. We are the original owners.

Features include -
- 3.0L 4 cyl Mercruiser I/O (135hp)
- Big Air stainless steel wakeboard tower
- custom fitted snap down over windshield towing cover
- bimini top
- CD player with detachable face
- Coast Guard necessities (fire extinguisher, flares, floatation device, paddle, etc.)
- bumpers and dock lines
- galvanized trailer licensed until March 2008
- unique custom "pull away" tongue to fit in our somewhat short 21 ft. garage
- spare tire mounted on trailer

Right now, it's taking up my side of the garage and I've parked my car outside. I plan to build a lean-to on the side of the house so I can park the boat. But after thinking about it, the lean-to is starting to become a serious project. Especially since I want to make sure this thing is always covered.

Also, I don't have a truck to pull it at the moment. Since it is only ~2100 lbs., I'm thinking I can put a class III hitch on the minivan. I'll let you know how that goes.

Anyone up for skiing this Summer?? You know where we'll be.
