Boats / Boating

[Nicky.]

Random thread... but is anyone else into boating / got a boat?

We got our 4th boat (biggest one we have had so far) about 3 weeks ago... it's a Sea Ray, not entirely sure on the model, but it looks exactly like this -

And these are some pics I put on twitter from when we went out at the weekend -

We have a chalet in Abersoch, so that is where we launch from, then we go around the bottom of the Llyn Peninsula and stuff >.<

Anyone else?

[Nicky.]

Ah yes, just remembered about this -

a good friend of mine has a "Ski natique" boat, if you know what that is?!

[Nicky.]

Ah yes, I do!

Seen quite a few of them around :)

Quite thin, and usually long, aren't they?

For some unknown reason, I really want a Fletcher boat, I always ****z when I see one :wink: I wonder why that is :tongue: Xx

[Brad.]

Yes ski nautiques go very fast, this one in particular can reach over 100mph!!

BTW, where do you use the boats you have????

[Nicky.]

Thought so!

They're used loads where I go, they're fab for water skiing... and I go out where the Wakestock festival is held... so everyone practices there too!

and in Abersoch, google it if you don't know where it is >.<

We have a chalet down there Xx

Where does your friend go?

[Brad.]

he lives in Cambridgeshire and he has a lake next to his house (his own) and goes wakeboarding and water-skiing there every weekend. I have been there and been in the boat at its top speed, its actually awesome!!

[Nicky.]

Awesome!! :bigsmile:

I love going in the morning or at night when it's proper smooth on the sea, but when it's really choppy it's like being on a very bumpy road!! It's awesome!

My uncle had a speed boat and fishing boat which we always used, he moved to Canada so I dunno what he did with them :sad:

My uncle had a boat on the canals around here, it gave me a phobia of deep/open water when we went on the ship canal (which is huge) in a tiny little boat for a reason I can't remember

Where I live, pretty much everyone owns a boat.
