Today was the day........

[OldSchoolBoats]

We watched the new owners tow the Howard away. I actually did better with this one than the last boat we sold. We made a crap ton of great memories on this boat and are excited for new adventures!!

Congratulations to the Hill family!!

I saw them turning on to the highway this morning, and thought that was yours.

Made a decision on what is next?

Nice. You’ll like that thing. Be sure to get the upgraded stereo and steering wheel to increase the resale!

Nice. You’ll like that thing.

We talked with several owners today and got to look around at a couple. Wife is sold, so that is all that matters......everyone we talked to said they love their 22's.

No Tahiti?

 

[rvrrun]

That has to be bittersweet.

...but, nothing better than a new build

Todd is a great guy and they are a great builder. We were very impressed with their boat and the pricing.

Those decks look way bigger than 22' .. Alot of room on those boats.

Congrats joe. I guess now that you’re buying a shockwave, I see a lot of businesses lunches happening in our future.

Why did you decide to go with shockwave over Tahiti?

[Ace450x]

Congrats. I’m actually getting close to doing the exact same thing. Shockwave with the 300R is at the top of the list.

 

[Bullet28]

Congrats Joe, looking forward to the build on the new one.

 

[NicPaus]

Looks like Matt's rig. Recall he was interested when you thought about selling it last go round. Wife is Stacies friend from way back.

Yea the squared off front makes for a lot of room.

@OldSchoolBoats

For the outboard deal do they push the rear seat back further Joe?
If so the areas behind the front seats might be good for storage or coolers, or an extra pair of seats.

Resale!! J/K.

Not to answer for Joe but the Shockwaves seem to have higher end trim and gel finishes, but that comes at a higher cost.

I’ve seen both and that was just my opinion. They both look like perfectly fine boats.

Yes, we are going to cut the hatch in half, push back the seat and do a U seating arrangement.

Bro....dont be taking your new deckboat to Foxes....you already got enough kids....

 

[Singleton]

How pissed were your boys as it drove away.

 

[RiverDave]

Congrats to Matty and Susette! Hope they like their new ride!

 

[Backlash]

Man Joe I love that Howard! It was one of the best looking boats out there! I wouldn't have been convinced to sell it for a 22' deck.

Fixed it for you.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

You meant an extra 53 kids?

 

[Dirtbag]

It was great seeing you and the family on saturday Joe. We had a nice lil turnout for the regatta. After your boat is built the next best thing is our lil shockwave family! We all have a blast together! Cant wait to see the build and the 300r package is awesome on that boat!

What ? with the soccer team of kids . You didn't join us hooligans in the " RD's roll bar boat club ? " that's blasphemy .

I really dig the wake boats, but they are just too big, too slow and too expensive. If I was going to spend wake boat money, I would build a Howard VTX.

Welcome to the deck boat cult Joe

 

[RCDave]

It's gonna be a great boat with the 300r. Make sure to get a hydraulic jackplate and tabs. It will make it very versatile

How many of the 22’ decks been OB powered? I don’t think many, really want to be in the testing/setup phase?

I hope it meets your expectations.

They have done a few. I am all good with testing and getting the set up right.

What is the projected speed with the 300r?
Kinda funny. When I was buying my Nordic I asked about putting twins on it vs a blue motor and I was poo-pooed. Maybe I was just ahead of the trend

How about when all 7 of you are in it? Any weight in the front of mine makes a big difference.

We will just have to see what it does. We will probably be running our normal, 45-50 for the most part, but will be nice to have the punch when we need it.

You run Havasu or Parker? That nose seems awfully close to the water for weekend water.

They do, I bet it shovels water sometimes.
