Hi Folks. I thought I would introduce myself. The admiral and I just bought a new 2008 GTI 130 to play on Lake Conroe. This is our second "boat" as we have a 1997 27' express crusier in a covered slip. The hours spent maintaining an 11 year old boat convinced me to spring for a new ski and spend more time on the water. With the price of gas the old boat will be spending a lot of time on the hook while we play on the ski.
