First Time boat owner. Just bought a used 2001 23xs from a private party. Boat is in perfect shape, boat only has 80hr on it. Wife already wants the new 23 deck, saw it at the boat show and we both feel in love. Mybe in two years. Going to Havasu this weekend, any Ultra owners going to be there? Sorry Can't figure out how to upload pics.

Congratualtions. The 23XS is a nice boat. The 23 Deck is a nice boat, but just a bit too small for those crowded weekends in Havasu. The new 26 Deck is real nice out there. We won't be out this weekend, but we should be out the weekend 23-25 hopefully if not we will for sure be out the weekend of the
30th. Look for us if you are out there. We will be in our new 27 in my sig/avatar.

Nice setup!!
I think a 23 foot boat is perfect for a first time boater (might even be a little to much). I know i pick the right mfg.Our next step will be a cat! hopefully in two year. Looking forward in meeting everyone.

Your 23XS is going to be perfect. Not too much boat at all. You are going to have a great summer. If you ever need anything or have questions let me know. Welcome to the family!

I also should have welcomed you to the Ultra family, as well. Mike, (shippingguy) is right about the 23XS. Not too much boat. The 23XS was my 1st Ultra. I still think that the hull design, of the 23, is one of the best looking boats made. I had one of the few closed bows, with a 496. You are going have great time with your new boat. I will be on Havasu this Sat. in my 26. Hopefully we get to say hello to each other.

Welcome to the family. Your boat is basically the same hull as mine. You'll be fine out on Havi with that boat. My boat is a blast to drive and I love it. Enjoy the new ride!

As everyone else has said ...Welcome to the Ultra Family :) If you ever need anything or have questions feel free to ask. You're going to love the 23. We recently stepped up to a cat, our second Ultra, and love it. Feel free to wave us down on the lake. We probably won't be out there for a few more weeks but soon we'll start the Ultra mini regatta's :D
Welcome again and congrats on the new boat,
Chris

Welcome to the Ultra family. No black socks or kool-aid needed. Just make sure you are friendly and help other boaters, doesn't even have to be Ultra boaters. As mentioned the 23 deck is beautiful but not quite the boat for Havasu weekends. The minimum out there would be the 24 Stealth going the V route or the 26 deck going the cat route. You might not be able to wait two years though. It's hard. I love my boat 210% but have to fight the urge just to get a new Ultra. On ***boat it's called two footitis.

Contracts we don't need no stinking contracts;) I like the new 05, 27 walkthrough in Virginia, wonder why it's still there?

Welcome to the family - I hope to see you in Havasu this summer.
I am on my second Ultra - Hopefully third next year (I really want to pull the trigger on the 26 Stealth).

Ultra5150,
My 26 is my 3rd Ultra. Started with a 23XS, then a 24 Stealth. Both were great boats. The 26 takes Havasu boating to another level. When the time comes you will love the 26.

Not many east coasters know about the West coast customs but I soon hope to be changing that!!! If my slip/condo would allow a 27 I might have snatched that up but I have to "settle";) for a 26 :D

There are a few ultra owners in Virginia. Some of us will be at lake anna. Dre, you are right about East coast/Virginia being slow on West coast performance boats.
