2003 Reinell 185 with a Volvo Penta 190hp. Bought it on Ebay from a guy who was about to lose it (to the bank) anyway. Picked it up in 2004 for $13,900, sold it late 2006 for $13,500 and bought my baby - 2006 Tige 22Ve'. Family grew by two and the boat grew by 4'. I hear that's a disease around these parts....

Yep...I'm currently taking hyper-therapeutic doses of Canadian beer to prevent my impulsively buying the 24ve on the lot at the local dealership....

My boat ownership history looks like this:
1973 Tahiti Jet boat......great river boat when I lived in Cali. Tons of fun.
1990 Ski Brendella......fantastic slalom wake and good first ski boat
1999 Tige 21i ....... good all around boat
2003 Tige 22ir......A great all around boat
Now the Ve......a super boat with plenty of room and works perfectly for
what I do...(foiling) and what the kids do (wakeboarding and wake surfing).AirJorgy

Our first boat was a 96? StarCraft 1710 In/Out Drive open bow.
I LOVED that boat, for a first boat. We had so much fun on that thing, ruined about 4 props learning how to drive.
I remember the time we got caught out on Winnipesaukee in a god-damn hurricane! 8 people in the boat, and we had a 50 minute run from Meredith to Alton Bay. Took on so much water that my GMC 1 ton wouldn't pull the boat up the ramp until I pulled the plug and let the water out. True story.
Anyway, the next boat was a 98 Tige pre2002. Another great boat (for slalom) Not so great wakeboard boat, but tons of fun.

2003 Stingray, growing up I had a few silverlines, and as I got older spent many a weekends behind my brothers Nautique. He is president of the Smith Mountain Lake water ski club and now has many boats at his disposal, MC, Malibu's. I moved away and just couldn't be without a means to be on the water. Here is a pic of the Stingray. My son is getting pretty serious about wakeboarding and needed a wake upgrade so thats what we did. Upgrade. One thing I do miss about the Stingray is the fuel economy. Man it was stingey on gas.I don't want to go to work, take me wake surfing instead!Comment

1996 Gekko GTS20
Had a real sweet wake for slalom, but not enough room for the family!
Here is a picture of it, the guy who bought it put a Monster tower on it.Comment
