Our New Boat....

Well the garage was looking bare and lonely after we sold our 1993 Rinker Boat last month and we could not pass up the deal on this 2006 Malibu Wake Setter. We were all so excited that we decided it would be a long winter if we didn't get the new boat out before it snowed. So on Saturday October 13th we went up to Pineview. Both Justin and Casey took the opportunity to wake board. It was 55 degrees outside and the water temp was 60 degrees. We all had a great time and can't wait until next summer. Here are a few pictures from the "chilly" day.
