They are just marketed toward a different crowd. I think you should have kept the Lavey! That was a sweet boat!

As far as winter upgrades for me: underwater and cockpit LEDs, MORE stereo goodies , and a little extra paint work... But where is a surprise
Yeah, I miss my boat, but the wife and kids complained about it too much, the Cobalt is still a boring sit down boat, and even with an HO package with a bravo 1 is still only going to come in around low 60's.

I'll get another, just have to wait a few years for the kids to older and they can go out on their friends boats!

Man, I grew up ripping around on my grandpa's 20' chris-craft scorpion w/ a 305 and if you would have asked me back then, I would have told you it was the baddest boat in the world, LOL. I would have killed to have a boat like that Laveycraft to ride around in... Especially if I wasn't payin!! Tell the kids they are crazy! Don't tell the wife that tho- you may not live to post again

Oh the spouse and I had some drag out fights over it, of course I lost. The kids are different today, especially in Dallas where wakeboard boats rule and performance boats are the exception. I refuse to give in, I'll make it work with what I want or we won't have a boat! lol

Man- I feel bad for you Bert... Wakeboard boats, in my opinion, are in the same class as the jet skiers. There are some that can be respectful, but the majority are anything but

You gonna change the seating arrangement in that PP so that you and the kid can sit together? Just like the good old days in the AT?

Stereo stuff and leds in the cockpit for me. I currently have a kenwood tape and 6 disc changer and a pair of 6x9s. WTF? I spent so much $ in 2012 on engines, drives, etc that Im still recovering from that. Plan to have a descent system for 2013.
