BLKPHN's Boat (yes its a real water craft)

After Selling my XY i decided to purchase a boat as I had been doing a bit of wakeboarding.

I purchased it a few months ago with oly 11hours on it and zero salt water use.
I've had it do 90km on the water which is damn fast when you have no brakes. I normally go about 25-30km for Wakeboarding.
Its a great fun thing to have and surprisingly good on fuel i use about 50ltrs in a day which for a full day of boarding is great.
So this is my 2008 Bayliner 185

Boat
18.5 ft (5.6mtrs)
Boarding platform
Seats 8

ENGINE
4.3ltr Mercruiser TKS 190hp
Alpha 1 Sterndrive
Power steering
Mercury Highfive stainless steel prop 21" 19deg pitch

ACCESSORIES
Aluminum Waketower
Fluidcore wake tower racks
Fluidcore Splits Pods
Alpine Headunit Marine
Alpine 5channel Amp 4x114RMS 1x418RMS
Polk Audio splits 2 sets
Polk Audio 10" Sub
100KG fat sac and pump

zomg, sell me the EA Tristan, thay thing is prime for a blown 5L conversion!!! :lol: (Seriously, how much do you want for it?)

Man, that is a mint rig, love it! I'm more a fishing boat person myself, but that's cool. Are those speakers hanging off the top bars, or just spot lights or something?

Was expecting this thread to be about a Cadillac or some other US car :D

Good sht, mates got a Malibu Wakesetter and board/ski whenever the weather is decent up at Deniliquin. Much better now that there are less restrictions on how much water is allowed into the river.

Yeah they drop 100k+ every 2 years. Go in 3 ways then sell at the end of it. They seem to hold their value really well.
