Sounds like a 21' boat would work perfectly for you. The nice thing about that size boat is that most of them will fit in your garage at home. My X2 fits in my 2 car garage with my Mustang. That'll save you some money over storing it somewhere else or letting it get faded in the backyard. And it sure is nice to get home from the lake and not have to go drop the boat off somewhere else after cleaning it.

As far as the MC line goes you could get an early X-Star ('02 and older) or a 2003-2004 X2 might be in your price range with a few more hours on them.

For Wakeboarding a V-drive (engine in back of boat) will help with the bigger wake. Direct Drives (motor in middle of boat) would work with additional ballast, but then you have people spread out.

If you've got friends with boats just start throwing gas money at them and offering to clean the boat with them. They'll appreciate it and you'll move to the top of the invite list.

Love the Deviants. I think the one thing that really made them come alive is the zapco dsp6 digital processor. Ryan at chucktronics did the entire install and a bunch of work to them. From Adding sound deadening to the inside of the boxes to dialing in the crossover frequencies, Im happy
oops, sorry- forgot to answer your other question- powering each Deviant with a Zapco Reference 1100.1 He sent the amps into Zapco to get re-tuned so they put out 1300 watts@4 ohms.

Sorry for kind of derailing your post here! What are your thoughts so far on the boats out there? Do you have a family you will be taking out? Day trips or weekend camping?

Yes this is the old cie boat I bought from billy. Not sure the exact specs on the amps but there's four zapcos one driving four arc audio 12's one driving the 6 jl audio 7.7 interiors one driving a pair of prodigys and one driving a pair of Modus. It has a matrix line driver. I know the amps are tuned with a laptop this shits a little out of my league lol. All I know is it's a great loud crisp sounding system with no games to play the install is spot on I'll I have to do is make sure the batteries stay charged lol [/QB][/QUOTE]

Right on man
Always nice buying something that is already dialed in and you dont have to Fuc* with it
Nice setup

Is this a trick question?
You dont have to.......but its nice to have!
I run 7 group 31 deep cycle batteries with a 210amp Balmar alternator. I've fried (2) 150 amp alternators that didnt have "smart"regulators. The balmar setup has been upgraded with custom pulleys to run (2) alternator belts and a "smart" regulator that has a temp. gauge built in. When the alterator gets too hot it will automatically decrease amperage output to allow the alternator to not overheat and kill itself.
