Now that you mention it, I don't even think you can buy a 2013 model. Seems they stopped production in 2013 with the 2012 model, they only list 2012 series online. Wasn't able to find a 2013 year, his is custom however so who knows... :confused:Quote:

here is one of the 2013 wake models...url
Heh.......for fifty grand I could get one hell of a boat!! Fully rigged, and ready to rock!! A 20ft lund with 250 yammy fully rigged!!! You can keep your sea-doo!
You said it!!!...Quote:

Went with a 1650 Lund Rebel XL with single side console and a 75hp 4 stroke. Get's me fishing when I want and I've got it rigged for Lake O Salmon, just have to pick my days. We've had myself, wife and 3 kids between the ages of 6 - 11 in the boat and had them zipping around on the tube no problem. We've had 2 adults, 1 kid in the boat and myself and my 6 year old on the tube, and we were doing a pretty good clip on the tube without any issues that I could tell. We're going to try waterskiing next year - my boys aged 6 and 9 should be fine with me and my wife in the boat, but having an adult male get up with myself and a spotter in the boat may be a little tougher.
All in all, the boat has worked out nicely. I just have to find a nice cushion for my wife so she can read while leaning on the front of the console - (cramps my space fishing off the bow though .... )
Have fun boat shopping!

Guys.......first off I am not interested in a jet boat. Not suited to what I want to do - plus what do you do with a glass boat when you want to go for a shore lunch on a rocky shoal? With an aluminum you can gently set it on the rocks and not worry about it. My buddy has an outboard jet drive on a jon boat and it is a great boat until you get in the weeds then the intake gets clogged and the water stops flowing (you risk seizing the motor) - then you have to stop the motor take off your hunting jacket and pull the weeds from the intake - NOT fun in November!!
I want a general aluminum utility boat (no carpet flat floor with walk through benches) that I can hunt and fish from BUT be large enough to pull a tube, boarder or knee boarder. Does not have to be the fastest thing on the lake. I am not sure if a deep and wide 16' - 16'6" with a 20-30Hp tiller would do or a 16'6-18' side console with a 40-60-7Hp would be better suited. I am going fishing this weekend and will try and take a couple of boats for a ride and see what I like.
I am in no rush to buy and want to make sure I get a good quality boat that suits my needs.
I'll be at the boat show and the Sportsman Show - but I am also going to look in the US to see what I can find. I hear there are some great deals down there.Quote:
