Finally Took The Plunge

[kenmyfam]

And bought a new boat.
21ft Marada Executive Series with 5.0 litre V8 and Mercruiser outdrive.
Really looking forward to going to the campground and lake this weekend (before I have to head off to Korea again):facepalm:
Family are really excited !!!

One more photo.
More to follow after the weekend.
By the way took it for a test run this evening after work with Mrs Ken. When we got back there was no need for discussion between us other than the offer we would make on it.
Mrs Ken is busily looking and thinking of suitable names !!! Pick it up Thursday evening and off to the campground Friday evening (early out from work I think)

Agree - nice boat. Based on your habits and job......... Traveler's Blue or Blues Traveler (if you like their music) or Blue Giant

Re: Finally Took The Plunge

Well, picked it up this evening. Managed to get to the bank and transfer the money this afternoon (did not think I would get to it today) sitting on the driveway waiting for the wekend !!!
Thanks for the name suggestions everyone, keep em coming. Mrs Ken is still working through a list of names as well. I will let you know what we come up with in the end. I will post some more photos after the first weekend at the campground.

Re: Finally Took The Plunge

Just let us know where you hide the keys when you head to Korea ... we would hate to have to hotwire it and mess anything up for you, new boat and all! Thanks for getting us a new rig, the old one WAS pretty beat up after we were done with it.

Re: Finally Took The Plunge

And always leave the tank full of gas. You know, to ward of condensation....

Re: Finally Took The Plunge

How about Wife's New Toy since you keep leaving home

 

[kenmyfam]

Re: Finally Took The Plunge

Well, Thanks for all the suggestions. We have decided on "Out Of The Blue" as that is how we bought it and it is also the name of my all time favorite band.
