Who is into Boating/Jet sking?

[B18c1Turboed]

Just wondering where you guys go on the lake.
I hear at night they have some badass boat parties out on the lake.

Any info?

[eraser4g63]

I used to be really big into stunt skiing, had two yamaha super jets with a shit load of money sunk into them and a kawasaki stand up that we kinda just sunk, we always went to cocktail cove and harassed the boats.

[T.C.]

I was just given a Stingray 180 inboard that has been sitting outside for 5 years without the cover on it. That is my current project. I should be done cleaning it today and then I have to get it serviced. I'm excited to finally get into boating, even though its just another money pit.

I love boating. I am up a Allatoona everyweekend pretty much. All the fast boats hang out up at party cove. I ride a superjet and the fam has a carver.

I chill on the lake, i dont usually do the party thing. Allthough partys are not hard to find, especially on Lanier.

Your starting with a realitvly affordable boat to run, so thats a plus. Get her cleaned up and be sure to post pics! I assume your somewhat mechanically inclined (on a car forum), you can probably do most of the engine maintenance yourself. This would say you BIG bucks every season. Which equates to more money for the fuel tanks :D

[Danny]

PICS! I wanna see :D I wanna do a project boat here in the next few years, the finicial support side of it just isn't there yet.

[Blitanicle99]

I live on lake alatoona, by kellog creek. I go out most weekends, sometimes I just chill on my dock tho and get hammered.


Oh, Danny I finally have the funds for a SJ if I want. I just gotta give my dad some money to shut him up, I owe him some cash back for school.

[Jimmy B]

ouch, no winterizing?

i did, 2 years ago, de-winterized it last year, and then never started it up as i had to replace the starter, and i didnt before this past winter.. i figured it would have been ok... guess I was wrong! LOL

now i gotta find a block

My brothers, myself and friends used to be into the jet ski thing when we were young but now its just lame and costs way too much to ride. The real shit is a wakeboard boat, its big money but thats the real fun on the water. Tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, etc... Thats WAY more fun than riding jet skis, uses less fuel and entertains more. Its about time for a new boat, the 23yr old runs great but the hull is showing some wear.

wakeboarding is real, but so is riding. Just because you rode couches all your life doesnt mean riding isnt badass. cause it can be, i promise.

Wakeboarding is great.. BUT the boats are $$$$$$ I could not see myself putting out 50K, when i can get a 28-30ft cabin cruiser for the same amount, or less

true, but its like most hobbies, its all about what YOU like. That 30ft cabin cruiser is usless to a boat full of boarders lol. and that tow boat is usless to a family of 5 (most likley).

true....


I LOVE wakeboarding, but i love chillin around a bunch of friends with a drink in hand too..

My boat (once fixed) tows a tube or board pretty nicley, but i cant lie, a wakeboard/ski boat with a tower and ballasts, WOW!!

In boating, its best to buy what suits your familys needs best, then get friends that have the wakeboard boat, the go fast boat, and jetskis or whatever, then everyone shares. In the end everyone wins, because there isnt a single boat that usually will be optimal for the average crowd of people.
if that makes any sense haha

[B18c1Turboed]

Yea i cant see spending 50K on a wakeboard. I looked at a few of them. I rather get a Baja or Nordic speed boat...hahhaha.I have and older ski boat that i havent used in years. I started it up the other day, purs like a kitten. whenever u guys wanna do a lake meet, it would be fun. We are going tubing this weekend.

[integra2die4]

Jake (4uh8ters), Paul(Paul_S), and I are always on the lake wakeboarding and just hanging out. My pops owns a place on the north end of Lake Lanier. I usually only wakeboard during the week though. The weekends are full of tubers are yahoos on their jetskis chewing up the water. We have a Mastercraft Stars & Stripes and had a Toyota Epic wakeboarding boat.

[Jimmy B]

I woudl be down for a lake meet.. I have a '84 fishing boat that i could get out there in until my motor is replaced... lol

I have some plans for my lil runabout, since i gotta replace the motor, i wanna do exaust, cam, and a higher output motor... give it a lil more topend..

[Jimmy B]

I have always liked the stars and stripes mastercraft's.. its jsut a classic, clean boat.

[Tracy]

Dan and I are looking at wakeboarding boats as we speak. Prolly an old ass Mastercraft or Supra, maybe a Skii Nautique. Just depends on the deal we find.

[patrick4588]

i love lake parties and skiing etc. too broke to have my own stuff though : /

[SPOOLIN]

we get all beat up on the lake frequently on side by side inner tubes. Lake weiss though, not lanier or toona.

I want a boat of my own in the next couple of years, theres always some great deals on ski boats.

Thanks. I wouldnt think anyone on here would know what it is. I grew up behind that boat. I love it to death. Had the interior vinyl and carpet completely redone over the winter and it looks spectacular! Now its time to break it in!!

[quickdodge®]

I would love to get a boat or jet ski. Just never have tried to buy either. Later, QD.

[SPOOLIN]

Get the Supra. Have an older, late 80s Supra with the 351 Windsor... It is on Allatoona. Great boat.

[B18c1Turboed]

I was looking at a new Tahoe boat at bass pro, it going for 14,500. Not sure yet,im looking at a few other boats.Probly will just enjoy my skis this summer and buy a boat over winter. Thats when you find crack head deal.......

I got my 2nd ski up and running now. Im super happy!!

[B18c1Turboed]

Trying to stand up on my daughters tube..... Lets just say it didnt end good.

Oh cool to know.I will tell Dan.

I used to be able to do flips n shit on a wakeboard. I grew up on the water. Not sure I could do it now. I haven't been wakeboarding in years (besides behind my dads jet skis LOL). One thing I do know, great for the gluteus.

Can't even find a pic of our actual boat. Same year and same color though. We have a Monster Tower on ours and not the tower pictured but you get the idea. The 351 Windsor is a GREAT motor and you can straight yank someone up out of the water.

Really good deal on a supra
