Chicago boat show got us!

trading in our 2008 Kawasaki for a 2017 Yamaha waverunner. Seemed like we got a pretty damn good deal and spent a lot less than intended!

Congrats on the new ski. From experience, make sure you do not let anyone ride with a new unwashed bathing suit or you'll be risking that nice white seat. I colored one blue and nothing could get it off.

The white seat was my one, not to thrilled about, part of this ski. Will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you!

I think the white seat looks great and would definitely buy one again, I just wouldn't wear new board shorts . It should also be cooler after sitting in the sun then some of the darker seats.

That is the one I want for our family but the 2016 model in red. I played around with one this summer. Plenty of horsepower and quiet. You are going to love the RIDE system. Appears to be easy to maintain. Great PWC.

Nielsen got some of my money too. Glad that they support us jet boaters.

What did you get?? We are heading there Saturday to hand over our trade and hopefully pickup the new ride.

We bought a blueberry sea-doo spark. Something my sons can use without worrying to much about them crashing it. I really like your purchase and son wanted it.

Jeff Nielsen is looking at doing the Peoria run with us this year.

 

[Just1more]

I told him about the Peoria run we did this past year. They have always seemed to do good by me. Service department has always been superior.

 

[luckie_529]

Jeff told me that someone had just been through and talked to him about it. You must have been not far ahead of us. They worked on my boat a couple times last year. Gary has treated me good too. I just wish that it was not 170 mile drive to get there.

WE were buying just after 12pm. I thought my hour drive was bad enough to get to lake villa! We will be up there this Saturday bringing in our trade in and possibly picking up the new one. Were you the boat from Henry in the Peoria run last year?

I drove the GP1800 and the new EX skis at the Yamaha Media event last fall and the 1800 felt like I was hanging on for dear life when you go full speed! I'm sure the VX will be a blast too! Had me thinking that I need to find someone on the lake we boat on with a ski! Was a lot of fun!

The ride system is fantastic! Spins on a dime! Now they just need to add that rotation ability to the boats!! You can see me spinning the ski in the video I did for the VX and GP1800

 

[luckie_529]

Yes I am the one from Henry. Not sure when I will get mine. Saturday looks like a nice day. Maybe an in water test could be possible.
