Talking Just bought a boat :D

Maxum - 2003 1900 with 260 mercruiser motor - wifey told me to ask the man if it would be quick enough to ski behind anyone for barefoot skiiing.....roll on 2.00 on Friday.

I was surprised that the wee bit in the bow has heating and the boat has a 6 speaker 12 disc changer with MP3 player. Also has stereo controls on the transom...... why

Yeah but the transom is the bit very near the big spinny death causing thing - you can change channels/choones from outside the boat a mere millimeter from death - fair play for the tunes inside

Definitely living up to your nickname. You should be able to waterski in tiptoes behind that one.

Hope its got a big fuel tank. If you are down this way and you see me fishing, give us a bit of space as you scream by!

Sounds great anyway, enjoy it and we would like to see a picture.

Surely you can moor up somewhere, turn the engine off and then control the tunes from outside the boat??

Looks like this


Looking at the prices on the net I've either got a real good bargin or I've bought a tub - Anyway I am having a testdrive/sail/run tomorrow and getting an inspection on it, so I still have a get out if it is a tub. Strange process from the dealer - you have to agree to buy it and show him you can fund it before you get a test in it.

You know that feeling you used to get on Christmas eve as a kid

He reckons on about 50-60 quid for a full day skiing/towing.
