got me a boat!

It was a good deal on a '98 Moomba Kanga (garage kept) with only 160 hours. It came with a slip-on wakeboard pylon, and that really helps. With a full gas tank and 2 adults in the rear seat, it was throwing up a nice sized wake with good shape and firmness. This thing has potential for monster wakes with a good fat sac! Here is a pic in the driveway. I'll post some wake pics soon. I still haven't bought a board or rope yet. I'm using my friends right now.

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed the boat this past weekend. I just placed an order for a 2005 CWB Flame 141 with the 2005 Torq bindings. I wanted to go for the 2006 models, but I'm trying to save some money.

Said I would post a pic of the wake, so here it is. All we had was a disposable camera, so its very grainy. I'll get a better picture soon. I've only been wakeboarding for a month, so don't laugh too hard at the lack of air.

Stats:

Boat - 1998 Moomba Kanga, 2 passengers with no ballast (yet)
Gear - 2005 CWB Flame & Torq bindings
Rope - Buywake handle/rope combo, 65 feet out attached to a 6 foot high Skylon pylon
Speed - 19-20mph (not sure cause I need to calibrate)

looks like a pretty decent wake. I got myself some fat sacs this year, and it they do increase the wake size, but more importantly (for my boat anyway) they clean it up and make it a better shape. I can't ride without them now... have fun

RC4, congrats on the boat. Wake looks like it has a nice shape to it, just need a little more weight Very Happy

The wake is actually a lot cleaner than the picture looks. The winds were 10-15mph that day and the water was real choppy. I still want to get some fat sacs, though.

RC4... Congrats on the boat. It looks good!! Enjoy this summer with that ride, you got it for a really good price!!!

Just put 10 girls in the boat and you don't need any fat sacs. Plus your riding will improve as fast as it can Cool

RC4,

Very nice job. I only ask because I'm wanting to upgrade my 16' 85hp outboard and wanna get a general idea of what kinda money it'll take to get something better.
