Great day on the lake

Well I finally got some time to take the kids boating over the weekend. We headed out of CBR Saturday afternoon on a slow trip to LFM to get diesel fuel since CBR does not carry it.

He is "mini me" and believe me, I'm getting paid back every day for all the grief I caused as a kid

As much grief as you give people for not taking pics I figured I'd throw you a bone.

It was great and I am sure everyone else that have not made it down appreciated them as well.

Did I mention the boat is for sale?

It's a beast!!! She'll run 40 MPH and sleep 6 comfortably. The boat has the Volvo IPS system that makes it easy enough for our kids to dock the thing. 3 TVS/DVDs, A/C in the cockpit and even has a central vacuum system!!

That is EXACTLY what I am looking for (but can't afford! - actually as I look at pic again, she is probably bigger than I think - is that a 37 footer?). But just out of curiousity, specs? price? why are you selling?

FasterThanYou · Post by **FasterThanYou** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 12:05 pm

That one is a 2008 Formula 40PC. The only reason I'm selling it is because I work for Hilltop Marine

If I owned it I'd not sell it

More info on the boat:

We also have a 2005 40 PC for sale:

Dang it! We were hanging out in the mouth of white oak when you went by and I wondered if it was you. I thought I had your phone number to send you a text, but couldn't find it. We wanted to take a look at it. Kids keep saying we need to ditch the condo and buy a houseboat, wife and I are thinking cruiser.could be years away, but ya gotta start looking sometime.........
You didn't happen to pull up an extra anchor when you came back to white oak, did you? I managed to leave mine there.

You should have chased us down. I wasn't running much over idle speed when I got back in the creek. You know how evil the wake can be on those big cruisers. I either want to run it 30-40 MPH using the trim tabs or under 10 MPH. The last thing I want to do is swamp someone. I didn't find your anchor but I know the feeling.

Were you still out there when the 50ft+ Sea Ray was throwing the huge rollers back in White Oak Creek with a wake surfer behind the boat? Looked like a fun surf ride.

imaposer · Post by **imaposer** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:34 pm

We left just as he was heading in to white oak.
I can only imagine the wake he was putting out.
