@Xedd Nice video and even nicer boat. Best way to end your season right there. I, hopefully, have more than a few trips left before the end of the year.

Thanks, it is out first boat, and only had it out a few times (bought it in September) so far but we love it! Flying the drone off the boat was a little stressful as it was sitting in a river and I didn't drop the anchor so the boat was moving and the drone stationary (GPS tracking) so "home" could not be relied upon. Even on the 24' boat, there is not much open space to land on that is nice and level so I ended up grabbing it in mid air, at the risk of cutting my hand. Will be better prepared for next time.

Had a bad day at work, cut out early and wanted to salvage the evening by carving out the creek and pick up my mood..... it worked like a charm.

I put a new exhaust on the ski on Wednesday and was dying to test her out and hear it in the water.
I was impressed.

Those are still pretty quiet, right?
I can not believe you have the front and center access to that place!!!
Does the water go up and down with tides? Do you venture towards the end of it? Man, it is too nice.
I used to cruise salt marshes around the North Shore and PLum Island when I lived in Boston, it was a bit tricky around low tide... I have had a couple of close calls, lol.
That Creek looks just Godly amazing.

My ski is a little louder than stock but not annoying at all.

No tides at all here its fresh water.
It does go up and down with different wind dirrections. That creek although narrow is 40feet deep in the turns

I have been way down with the boat and ski. It goes a lot further than i went. I was picking up my wife at the end of the video. Thats where i launch from.
( she wanted to go for a blast before it got dark)
I live only 2.5 miles from that ramp and they have gas docks and a full store and gas station too

Last run for 2017, wanted to test my range for a possible Bimini trip... 50 miles on a little more than 1/2 a tank... did better than I thought it would. EB5A1782-03CE-4516-9BCE-6816D513AFCA.jpeg7966C047-7DED-416B-AA40-9C8AAAF1F771.jpeg

Still no jet boat, just my little old stern drive for now. Broken Bow lake back in August. The water was clear up to 6 feet and we had lunch on our own private island. It was our anniversary weekend and we went with the kids and friends.

We love Broken Bow! Do you live close to it? We're about 3 hours away and it's well worth the trip. We haven't in awhile so I hope we will get to go next year.

We used the travel trailer instead of the boat for our last lake outing. I love lakeside camping in the fall.
