My wife, a few friends and I took the new boat out on Lake Mead this past Sunday. It was pretty rough, but the new ride handled like a dream. Much better than the wakeboard boat.
My wife and I will have it out on Havasu this coming weekend. If any of you see us, stop by and say hi. I will try to do the same if I see you out there.
Enjoy.
Oh yeah, some pix of my wife as well. :D ;)

It is a Lightning. :) Its an 06 23xs... I know, let the flames begin... :(
Actually I looked at a lot of boats in person. All different prices and makes and everything about the Lightnings kept bringing us back. The Gel and fiberglass it just awesome. Interior and rigging is great, triple stitching, full stringers, and really nice hardware with through bolting. Brad our salesperson is a good guy. We are very happy.
So far the only issue is our Livorsi Trim guage doesnt seem to be working properly. There is always somthing that isnt perfect but besides that, we love it.
Thank you for all the nice comments. :)

I spent weeks trying to decide. My first thought was a 496ho good big block power.
I decided to go a different route. Im a small block fan and forced induction fanatic (every vehicle I get gets some sort of blower or turbo.LOL). So we decided on the 6.2 mpi and Im going to put a centrifigal charger on it. I would like to also add a set of really good heads like AFRs with a port job. I like doing everything myself and I really cant get into big blocks. I will enjoy working over the small block much more.
Honestly it moves out pretty good stock. Im really happy. Next boat will be a 28footer or so. Need a new house to fit it in though. Lucky for us, this fits in the garage. We would have bought bigger but it had to fit inside and 23-24 was about the max.

Looks GREAT! another hapopy lightning owner. I couldn't be happier with mine!
Triple stiched, through bolted, everything. They build a quality boat. I have had people in all kinds of boats - tell me how nice it looks and how good the rigging looks.
You will like the boat. I had a little issue and I called them and they offered to come pick it up in Bullhead City and get it fixed. Good people. Turns out it was only a fuse.
