I showed my wife the pictures above of your new ride. She was VERY IMPRESSED and thought it was beautiful.
I then asked if I could get the Skater equivalent and she fell on the floor laughing her ass off!
Is this where the old saying...it is easier to beg forgiveness than it is to ask permission comes into play?

It was my 1st voyage and didnt want to take any chances on havong a problem out in the nasty stuff. There would have been no one out there to bail my a$$ out of a jam today. Iheaded north on the ICW and hooked up with a new 36 Baja that guided me to theTampa Bay area. From there It is a 5 mile ride out in the Big stuff until Tierra Verda. The boat absolulty crushed the 4-6' waves (6-8' bar room). but was only ballsy enough to run about 45 mph in them. Coming into the inlet was unbelievable. These waves were standing straight up in the air and were tight and huge, Again the boat did everything I expected it to do and handled them great.
Thanks to BajaDaze and Erin, Hugetime, Addiction(Coo Coo for Cocco Puffs) and the Bartending staff for there support and dedication to helping me get thru a very trying and stressful weekend. I did have one hell of a good time even though the boat never got 500 feet from the dock on Saturday

This boat is every bit as big and beautiful as the pictures show, but they don't even come close to doing her justice. This is a must see boat, very clean!
Once again Bob, congratulation! Hope to see you soon.
Give me a shout before you guys head back.
