The Boat

Tony & I have been discussing getting a boat for quite a few years. But, we always had something else to work on first. Well, we are planning to go to Lake Powell in August with some others, and we decided it was time. We've gone to the boat show for probably the last 4 years, and we knew what we wanted. The hardest decision was do we want a ski or ski/fish. Ski won! Who wants fish guts in their boat? EWWWW! So, after some discussion about motors and lengths and such....here she is....the "Gracie Loo...and TJ too", and the truck.
And here is the happy owner..Tony! He was loving it. We took it up to Strawberry Reservoir the night we got it, and cruised around for an hour or so. He was so excited. Doesn't he just look so good behind that wheel?

The kids first and foremost, had to sit in the front. No airbags here...front seat is allowed!!! What a view they had.

Okay, this shot isn't great, because the sun was getting low, but you get the silhouette and you can see the wake. What a beautiful wake huh?!? lol

Thumbs up for this boat. Tony was a pro in no time. I think he could drive anything after a couple seconds of trying. And I mean SECONDS!



Here is Gracie and Arrow. Arrow was a pain in the behind, but he was funny to watch. He of course loved the wind in his face, but his beard is so long, it kept blowing back in his eyes. Dang hair!

And TJ too! Co-captain at this point. Look at me mom!

Holy Cow...a picture of me. Not that it's that impressive, but there is proof I was on that boat, with the wind in my hair!

So, about the boat....It's a Reinell 220 LSE. That's about all I know. Ha! It has the tower for all the fun toys. And we got few fun toys. They were out of tubes however, so we still have to get one of those. We have 4-5 lakes/reservoirs within 10-30 minutes of us, so we plan to take it out quite a bit after work.
Next come operating lessons for me. Keep your fingers crossed.
