If you can sail the bay, you can sail just about anywhere.

When it was developed, it was supposed to be a ski boat, which by all accounts it was, however it was much bigger and heavier than its competition. Fast forward a few years to when wake boarding and wake surfing gained popularity and now the big heavy ski boat is a winner. It's the best entry-level price wake board boat I think one could buy.
IMO you are right on.

I'm still window shopping - won't be buying a boat this summer - sadly - need to replace some lost income.
I think I have the boat selection narrowed down to a Catalina 27 tall rig with an inboard atomic. But then, I think why not just get a 22 with a trailer on the cheap....but then I would need an SUV....and a better place to store it, and, and and.....
Here's 3 of my favorite Catalina 27's. Seems the perfect size for a weekender. And so sexy!!!!!
The interior on this one is pimp. (skip to 0:50)
"build log" in pics of restoring a Catalina for a guy's daughter. It's awesome!
"Flag Blue" is the color of the haul. That color looks so nice - I bet it's a PITA to keep looking clean - but it's awesome.

Thanks man - but....
Last time I rented a $19.95 u-haul it cost me $360. And I was banned from uhaul for 3 years - long story - don't ask - M3 Ryan was there - let's just say, it wasn't pretty. ;) and leave it at that.
A "trailer sailer" (22-25 foot boat) takes about an 30 mins to hook up to a tow rig, and get on the road, and say a 30 mins drive. Then 30 mins to raise a mast, and then 30 mins to get it the water. Then repeat when you are done. From everything I read, and my own intuition, you don't do much sailing when it's a PITA and takes 4 hours of your day just to enjoy an hour or five.
Not to mention the tow rig is going to cost $100 a month. And registration on the trailer - $10 a month. And most boat ramps cost you $10 to splash. So...not $20?Last edited by george graves; 05-27-2017, 04:51 AM.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

$10 a month for registration seems high on a trailer.
Here in VA it's $28/ year or $75 for permanent plates.
Agree on all other counts, and Yea screw that noise.
In my defense I was simply stating the cost for the truck, not a "cost per day for boating".No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.

"Flag Blue" is the color of the hull.
I love dark blue or black hulls - makes a sexy boat.

As a side note - I was reading up on how many people register their (+$25k) boat in Delaware with an LLC, or the Caymans to avoid registration and taxes. Guy with really big boats, will even have it sailed/motored out the country once a year, just to reset the the time limits some states impose. Crazy.Last edited by george graves; 06-03-2017, 04:31 AM.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?
