Going to drop this off at my boat guys place tonight.
Not the best items but at least I'll be on the water in a couple weeks.

Went to Eddie Marine and picked up these new swim steps and ski tow.
It was my first time there and that place is bad ass! Great customer service as well.

Going to try and polish this old stuff up and see how it turns out. Buying this stuff new wasn't in the budget lol

Performance boating sure has changed. I remember when getting something new for your boat meant maybe a new intake, carb(s), headers, possibly a cam change...it wasn't THAT long ago was it? A stereo or speakers weren't even a part of that boating world. Cabin cruisers had stereos. But then, I'm 61, and the word "performance boat" has morphed to mean something different than what it used to.

I guess all that depends on the boater and who you talk to. Chris and I are in our early 30's and would side with you on this topic.

RR's boat has ford power, needs nothing and is more power than needed already... :gathering:

I'll be the first to admit I do not know the first thing about engines.
As long as it runs, and can get me up and down the river/lake I am good.
Call me simple but I am fine just cruising and being out there!

LOL they are new ones haha.
To be honest, I wouldn't even know where to begin inorder to add any more performance to that boat.
Plus I don't plan on keeping it "forever". I really want something in the 26-28ft range...
