83SN2001, don't hold your breath. I'd be surprised if they showed up in your neck of the woods.

I know on the lake here( Lake Wylie NC)if the police are in a mood to right tickets they will look at your coast guard plate, especially a boat full of young people throwing a tsunami wake. I'm sure the lake property owners would be thrilled to have this boat cruising back and forth in the cove as well. Our boat show(MidAtlantic in Charlotte) is next month. I will definitly be looking for these 2 boats.

I saw the Epic at the boat show as well. Really interesting. The front of the boat is flat. Kind of makes it look like a tank. I think the hard core wakeboarders are going to like it. Not really my taste, and I wouldn't even think of it till it's been on the market for a couple of years. I have read that the coast guard ratings don't mean much on boats over 20 feet. Never looked up the laws myself. BKH

Speaking of new boats, I was looking through the waterski mag boat buyers guide and saw the Epic 23V. It has 4000 lbs of ballast which is 1000 lbs more than the weight of the boat! With 55 gallons of fuel and the 14 pa$$engers it is rated at carrying, I,m thinking this thing is probably not legal when full.Of course unless it has a 10,000 lb coast guard rating. I'm curious as to whether it will even float when loaded.

Went to the Norcal boat show today. There were two of these Wakecraft boats on displays. I was with a buddy who is also a lifelong boater and a Correct Craft enthusiast. We were both suprised at how well this boat is thought out, and quality of its construction. For the wakeboard/wakesurf enthusiast, they've thought of about everything, and boat ships standard with just about all the gadgets the wakeboarders add - tower lights, tower speakers, LEDs in every comparment, multiple keypads for the stereo spread around the boat, side hull exhaust, bow lights, etc. etc. Also had the best access I've ever seen to the engine and V Drive. I still don't care for the graphics or the integrated platform. However, the owner of the company was there and said he'd make the graphics any way you want them. Will be interesting to see how this new boat company does. BKH

I guess a Cadillac is a nice step up from the Buick you used to own- cant knock you there. You get the fake convertible vinyl top option? |

Ouch. I have to agree with Nate- Ive had great luck with my Maxima. Having bought it in HS, its done its job over the last 7+ years. This may come off as defensive, but my '93 will stick with a stock 5.0- plus its good in the snow, can carry 4 comfortably, is cheap to insure, gets 30 MPG and has gone 245k. Its no Vette, but at least its not a Jetta. Ken, Ill be upgrading to a new V8 4Runner so I can tow the boat. |

Whatever helps you sleep at night sweetheart, I'm not saying it's the fastest car. But seeing it put down cars that are less then 1/2 it's age, that are supposed "modern muscle" cars, yet came stock around the same years with basically the same HP kinda makes you think doesnt it? Nate |

Yeah it is cute, and I'm sure so many Mustang, Firebird, Camaro, etc. owners have thought the same when they got torn a new one by a 4 door.

I like the dash, exhaust ports and some other things, but they are way to overboard for me.. It's obvious they want to market themselves as a stand out... I wonder how many of these "one offs" they sell??
Man the tower is ugly... Moj'

I am 25 (young) and I think it looks like an ugly copy of a malibu. The tower does not flow with the boat and the built in swimstep was cool in the 90s. May fit someones taste but definetly not mine.
A new boat that I do like the looks of is the Epic. I like my boats to be pointy in the front and square in the back. |
