Got our new boat on the water Saturday

[236eaglexp]

We received our new to us boat on Saturday morning. We were able to get on the lake for a few hours. All I can say is WOW! Thoroughly impressed with the ride, build quality, handling and speed.

It was an awesome day apart from a near collision with a sea doo (guy not paying attention cut right in front of two boats, one being us). Happened right near Copper canyon. We were only cruising about 35mph so I was able to turn hard right and let out of the throttle to avoid collision. We have had and seen more near misses this year than all other years put together. Last trip there was a family of knuckleheads innertubing about 20' outside the buoys at Windsor. I just don't understand the need to risk playing in the highest traffic areas of the lake.

Beautiful boat! What are the details, motor, year, drive, cuddy, etc.?

Well I guess I'll ask what kind of boat is it, looks like a howard? I know it's not a 236 Eagle. Love the colors!

We can't wait to get back out there! I babied it most for the most part as I want to get used to the handling, etc. But I did make a couple quick blasts and it was incredibly quick from 40mph to 75mph

Beautiful boat! Congrats! So what are the max speeds you would expect to see out of it?

Happened to us yesterday on the Delta. We got hosed down pretty good by a wake jumping Sea Doo that wasn't paying attention. This guy was 50 years old plus and should have known better...Maybe they just like Bullets?

Congrats on your ride. You will love the handling of this boat. Trim it up and just turn. Lot's of fun in the turns!

Mid to high 80's as it is setup at 4lbs boost right now.
Gonna add a superchiller this winter and maybe up the boost a tad to try and get into the 90's.

Beautiful Boat. I have a 25 bullet as well and we love it :thumbup:

Did you buy it from an RDP member?

 

[djunkie]

Great boat. The bullets have always been one of my favorites.

I think we saw you at Windsor on the weekend of aug 10th. We were in our party cat. Is your bullet open bow with blue on back? If so we launched at same and I was showing my wife your boat.

No, I found it on craigslist in Northern California. I believe original owner was a member either here or on PB.

Yes, that would have been us. Congrats on your boat. I wish I had that much power on mine. I'm running a 496HO. Can get to 70 but I know she can handle more

Congrats, that is a beautiful boat, I love the lines...and the gel...classic look.

They can handle way more hp. I think there was one in magazines a few years back that went 110. Once I get more seat time in ours I will see what she'll do. GPS shows 86 on the recall but that was from previous owner. We hit 75 very quickly and it was nice and stable.
