Our set up may not be as big, but it matches must better.  2002 Maristar 210 330 HP pulled by a 2001 Yukon XL.  If you see us cruising the mean streets of Plymouth, MN, give us a wave.

I will post this for Travis since he works all year round to pay for this ToY! 

2007 X-2 Canadian Blue Metal Flake with Reverse Gel Black bottom!  Pimping ain't easy unless you have this boat!

The booty plunderer itself also known by many as "THE JILLIAN"

This baby can be seen rolling down the road on 20"s and sufing the high seas of the Mighty Mississippi up by Champlin.  Also been known to take some serious booze cruises out to the Minnetonka Chain and blowing some boats away with the custom JL Stereo that this boat is packing!

Oh snap, J.B. pulls off the gloves AND hits below the belt. Wow, gotta recover from it.

Wait, so you're telling me this is your boat and not your DADS? Don't you still live at home? Doesn't your mom make you a sandwhich for lunch everyday? Doesn't she cut the crust off too?

Yeah, I thought about adding the reflection but it seemed like it was a little beyond my current photo shop skills. I really should have paid more attention in class because they probobally had some tricks on making it look good.

Now if I could only find a motor.  Do you think I can add Perfect Pass, a tower, and ballast system?

Wow, that thing is kinda cool...I bet that wake will give the 197 a run for its money.  Much more fuel efficient as-is right now too.

Here's a pic of our tugboat.  Pretend you don't see the scumline, its gone now thanks to the local detailer at the car wash.

Putting up with the scum was a lot better than trailering it all last summer. We more than doubled our time on the water because of the slip on Tonka.

I had the Car Wash Zone in Maple Grove do it. Cost me about $400, but it was honestly well worth it. I would never have been able to get it as clean as it was 24 hours after taking the picture I posted. I think they used about a gallon of Armor All on the interior. Hopefully the boat will be just as clean when I take it out of storage in a few weeks.

Very nice.  How is Lake Minnetonka?  I haven't really been too far away from my home lake; well because its awesome; very much. 

 

 Isn't  it crowded??

 

I hear ya on the trailering.  Not to metioned how much more fuel you could have used.  Summer of 05' I trailered everyday.  Thankfully it was only 8 miles round trip!

I hear ya loud and clear.  05' I had the boat slipped on the St. Croix.  We would go out if there was 30 min of good riding.  It was soooo nice.  Also the slip was only 4 min away from my house. 

The thing that did us in was the gas dock prices.  On the river there is always a hefty $1/gallon markup.  That adds up really quick if you ride 5 times a week... 

05' was the year my dad had a charge account at the marina for the houseboat gas.  I finally found out how to charge the gas to that account halfway through the summer, the week at the end of the summer that he got the bill was not the most fun... but boy was it worth it!:D

Now we are more in your "boat" justin.  The launch is actually closer to the house than the slip!  3 min (no lie).  We found that it is a little bit of a pain in the arse but the money saved is HUGE! - Funny how the money still gets spent (tower speakers, more ballast, mirror arm, amp, etc. etc. etc)

Not to mention those who don't through down for the fuel, can at least help wash the boat.  In 05 I washed it after every outing. 

 

It still looks new, only stinker is the boat was bought brand new...the stickers were falling off by Aug, and same with the pinstripe.  Never used a pressure washer either.  But you could shave in the shine!:cool:
