Here's my new boat! I'm so excited. She's at the shop right now getting thru transom exhaust installed and getting all her vitals checked to make sure she's ready for the river this summer. I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to help me out with my search. You all were a tramendous resource and I really appreciate the altruism on these boards. Namely I'd like to thank Trojan Dan, El Chingon, Riverhound, Scuba Steve, CEO, Kilrtoy and who ever else I missed.
CAN'T WAIT TILL IT GETS HOT IN HAVASU! :D

Thank you! Are you heading to the Shockwave Regatta this summer. I would like to go but I really don't know anyone else who ownes a Shockwave. I'm thinking about taking the family (mom, dad, sister, you know) is this type of thing a family event?

Kilrtoy

yes, it is a family event,
I plan on it every year, so far 1 for 4
I never take the family
I only take the BOAT, BEER and CHICKS

FRANK THE TANK
02-22-2004, 07:28 PM
Is it wild like when we usually go or is it family oriented? I was looking at some pics from the Shockwave web site and they show a bunch of kids in the pics. Just curious.

Kilrtoy
02-22-2004, 07:37 PM
Its family as most are

FRANK THE TANK

Sounds good. Send me a PM and I'll make sure I break in the boat that weekend. I get her back from Shockwave this week. I'll be spending the next two weeks clening/polishing/dusting/ and pretty much sleeping in the boat until spring break rolls around. Thanks for the 411......

Congrats Frank
Welcome to the Shockwave family :D :D We are going to the Shockwave Regatta and only know about 2 people, taking the kids (10 & 7). I really like your choice (see my sig). Give us some details powerplant and hours. I am assuming who you bought it from is stepping up into a new bigger Shockwave... The cat would be sweet....:D :D :D See you at the regatta!!!

Beautifull boat. Timeless graphics, you'll never know the age of that boat as time goes on. Congratulations!!

FRANK THE TANK

She's got a 454, Bravo I and has 180 hours. Send me a PM when you guys get all squared away and we'll try and meet you guys there. Do you know where the event is going to be held and how we go about signing up?

Think the graphics really sold me on the boat. The owner kept it really clean. Even the rub rail is spotless. Thanks for the compliment.....

It is at Havasu, July 23-25... they are sending out fliers soon. Will hook up with you there... What is the top speed with the 454? We have the 6.2 with only 11 hours on it, haven't wanted to go full throttle very long. Full of full 50G 2 adults 2 kids and crap we did 68 on the speedo, will GPS it soon. :D :D :D

I'll keep you posted. I haven't run her that hard yet. I wanted to get her serviced before I did. When I test drove it we ran 65 easy (mind you this was a speedo 65 so it's probably optomistic). She still had more but I was happy with that for her first run with no service having been done this year. I get her back from Shockwave this week. I'll probably take her out to Pyramid and test her out before I go to Havasu in March for Spring Break!

Sounds good. Let me know how the water level is. I'll be doing some construction work on the house next weekend but I'd like to get out there soon. It would be cool if you and Dan could come with me on my first run out to break her in and in case I have any problems........

Congrats FTT! Nice choice in the step skier. I almost ordered a new one a little over a year ago. The only difference would have been the step skier bottom with a 21LS closed bow top. It would have been a real ripper with that setup.
I know that ***boat tested a Step Skier with a 502 Mag MPI and it ran 78-79 with 415 HP with headers. Not to bad! I bet with a 454M Mag MPI you will see at least low 70's on GPS.
Welcome to the Shockwave clan:D
