I think before I would buy another Cruiser I would invest in a Dockaminium and slip to house the Cat. Lot of fun entertaining on the docks as well. Here are some on Texoma initial cost plus slip fees. You never really own it though, you have to resale it when through.

With a cruiser you have less expenses and more money to buy gold chains.

I grew up on a 17 for bowrider, me, my parents and my sister staying on tot a lot. Week long trips up the Tennessee river even.... I have always been a motor head and loved the go fasts even though my family mostly was searays. When I bought my first boat, a Baja 252. Having a stab in cabin was all I needed. Lots and lots of weekends on the water. Tied up to. Family and friends cruisers. When I moved up I wanted some am invites but still wanted a go fast boat. Found my 342 loaded with genny, Ac, and vacuflush. Now I can tie up with the slow pokes and have all the comforts (other then standing in the cabin). But when we untie, they have a quite slow dull ride, and we run50 with open brig blocks and enjoy the boat.

I am sure one day a cruser will happen but I may have to have t2 boats then... Maybe a smaller hell raiser and a big slow one ha

It must be embarrassing to be a Cig owner and get passed by 2 Fountains AND and cruiser. :D

There is a bunch of us around u....hit us up and u could ride on what ever u want from a 26 to my 33 to 38s wnd up. We r all a close group let us know might cost ya a beer thow

On another note.. is it just me or do your cruiser friends always try to talk you into a cruiser? Mine are always telling me how great cruisers are. I`m always telling them to leave 20 min early and I`ll meet em for lunch at the same time

With the right go fast boat u can get everything that a cruiser has just a little less space. My 33 has two beds, heatand air, ffridge, microwave, burner, full bathroom, transom shower, 5'4" head room in the cabin, tv with cable, dvd player and can still run 75 80 mph when I want. Its like a cruiser on steroids in my opinion

just one? You are letting him off easy.

Ive had it up to 76 on gps still probably has 4-5mph left in it.. and its fun to pass Fountains :)

Im down for that! Im up at the lake like every weekend.Beers I can handle!

Looks like a nice ride, but why did you stop the video when the Fountain was passing you up? :)

I found his original post before the edit :D

I started slowing down then the Fountain took a left in a diferent direction. You can hear me pull back off the throttles at the end of the video. But i think the point was made :) all in good fun. My friend who owns the Fountain was more shocked than anything.

With a cruiser you have to plane for the entire day with a go fast I can get to the marina late and still have time to get to the island before sundown or go to lunch by boat in a lunch hour lol

You sir have one bad ass cruiser and a sweet roost!!!! If I went cruiser one day when Im 90 and moving to Florida, thats what I`d want. :ernaehrung004:

You claim to be a Superbike racer and an NHRA guy and you have to ask that question?

When I was young I was taught to respect the bike that you throw a leg over, because it can kill you. So I have always had that mentality, I would never street race or anything like that. So hp and speed was always respected. I owned a streetbike for 2 weeks thought I would kill myself. So with a boat with the HP #s that are claimed and running wide open and hitting a wake the wrong way. I have no experience in this boating world that is why I was asking the Question. It might not be anything and just me. As far as the NHRA I was very lucky to work in the machine shop and learn from one of the best guys. Attention to detail because your work is the hands of a driver who puts his life on the line.

Well said and I respect that - Take a ride this summer on a formula, fountain etc and I bet you will enjoy it!

I am a former Motorcycle roadracer from early 90s to early 00s, raced WERA, NLRS and National Challenge Series, I was on "Team Adrenaline". Shoot me a PM be glad to answer any questions, were right on Lake Erie so your welcome to stop by.

Dont be so hair splitting! He perhaps became after the Space-Shuttle-windshields-hold a schoolbus driver and wanted the little rascals to learn better manners at school?
