Havasu spring break family style

[185EZ]

Daughters came for a visit and our new grand puppy Bear.
Busy day considering all that's going on.
Really enjoying the new toon that we purchased from Got Water marine, so much fun
Bear got to see what he was going to grow up to be, A Bear.

So jealous right now, looks so nice out there.

 

[DWC]

Good times there. Looking forward to getting the family together and on the water.

 

[PlanB]

Looks like warmer weather than we currently have in San Diego. Ready for some warm weather...

Daughter is from san diego and said same thing.
She's out for a couple weeks until business opens up again.

Good looking dog. Nice boat!

 

[RVR2SNO]

Sorry man but pic #4, presumably your daughter, or “Orange M35” is disturbing to me as a father of two girls.

Never in a million years will you catch me taking a pic of my daughter like that.

Pretty sure you could’ve got that picture at another angle but the sheep wouldn’t approve. #fnwrong #danabrams

 

[throttle]

please tell me someone jumped in the lake... my wife put me up to it last week, and it was a tad chilly, but made a good story later

 

[24ultra]

Nice to see families enjoying time together during these unique times. I want to bring my boys out next week, are any of the launches talking about closing down? We usually use Jack Smith and was curious if that would Close?

That looks dangerous. No way I’d run that setup. Cut a steer tire, and yard sale time...

@RVR2SNO dont think the yellow bikini is his daughter. picture of the toon beached girl in the boat has a brownish looking bathing suit think that one is his daughter...

It’s already edited out.

@79 HUSTLER oh i see it now...

I always ask for approval before posting pics of the family and they were fine.
Daughter is an adult female with a nice body and has been on the cover of books in a way more seductive view.
We were in the channel and everyone riding by or walking by saw her and i don't see any harm in posting it on RDP for a few others to see.
Sorry if i offended a few but I see it as someone with a nice body that can show it off and not thinking of it in some other explicit way.

185EZ what model /ft is your Avalon ?. It looks nice ! I have a 27' Avalon Paradise with 300 verado we love it !

As a father of two girls I saw nothing wrong with that picture. Just someone doing what people do at the lake, sitting in the sun enjoying themselves.

 

[Riverryder]

so messed up. made a father second guess a picture that he toke on his boat, while out with his family of a fancy boat passing by.

2585 Catalina VRB, variable rear bench, with a 300 Verado.
We love it too.
Had a 2385 CR with a 150. Big change not only the extra room and HP but the 27" tubes makes for a smooth ride

 

[LGETT]

Dont see anything provocative with these family pictures. As a father of 3 girls I'm not seeing this even toeing the line.....

I expect those offended to have their wifes and daughters in long baggy pants and turtlenecks at the Lake this year.

I have a daughter and still think you gotta lighten up man.

There was nothing wrong with the picture I saw. It was no different than what I see each time I’m at the river or the beach.

 

[HCP3]

People get offended too easy. God damn. Thanks for sharing your good times @185EZ

 

[Riverryder]

@185EZ cheers to you and your family out and enjoying your new boat!!!

 

[Ziggy]

Some cabin fever going around.
.
Glad to see some families getting some extra family time.

 

[throttle]

You have a beautiful family! Including Bear and the new boat! Really looked like a great family outing! thanks for sharing!

 

[westair]

Nice pics .... looks beautiful on the water! We sat in a couple of the toons at the boat show in Laughlin, my wife and I agreed .... we didn't want to get out ...lol

Give me a break! Wound a little tight are we? I have two daughters as well and see nothing wrong with the picture. Some people can find a problem with anything. I guess it balances the world for the people can find the good in anything.

Back to boating content...what's the deal with "27" tubes"? Are they larger in diameter, or smaller...do they have a different leading area design? Never owned a toon, but may in the future, and like to know about how and why stuff works.

 

[Tank]

We were on on the lake Saturday. Cruised through the channel at about 11:45, lots of people enjoying the warm weather. It was a great day weather wise. I nearly jumped in the water but only had regular shorts on, not swim trunks. My 6 y/o went right in though!

We came home to rain in So. Cal on Sunday night.

(oh, and not to dwell on the photo thing but I have a beautiful daughter myself, I see nothing wrong with any of the photos and I post photos of my daughter / her friends / my beautiful wife / friends wives, etc. etc. in bathing suites laying out and having fun at the lake or the beach all the time. Just because a female is young or has an attractive body and is in a bathing suite doesn't mean it's sexual).

27" tubes are larger in diameter. Standard are 25".
I believe the coast guard came up with the requirement for 300 HP and up including twins have to have 27" tubes.
I can tell a difference in the floatation between the 2 and better ride in larger diameter tubes.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that a fairly small difference would be that noticeable. If the Coast Guard had an interest, than it probably is also related to structural integrity more than ride quality with the horsepower. Thank you, my daily boat lesson

The coast guard is always interested.
Now add splash guards, lifting strakes and having the ability to pressurize those tubes into your equation. [emoji3]

Wrong thread for all this tho. Carry on.

Truck looks overloaded. What truck is that? Super short bed dually?

[Shlbyntro]

Lake Travis was hopping today! Lots of people out there enjoying family time during an impromptu extended spring break. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it as most of them are on their boats with the people they live with anyway. All mechanics are being considered "essential" work force out here right now and the shop I contract for does work for Lower Colorado River Authority and Lake Travis Fire Rescue. Limited operations starting tomorrow but I'm unaffected.

Looked like a great time! I wish I coulda stayed out at the river longer while I was there!!

 

[Rondog4405]

Good lookin toon!!

 

[Icky]

The dog isn't even looking at the camera, I can't believe someone would post that

 

[185EZ]

Not sure about the truck but that can am stock is over 1800#.
Add in rack storage over that truck and that 5th wheel.
Just getting that can am on top can't be EZ.

Is it hard lining up the boat on the trailer trying to slot the groove?

Looks like a fun setup. I’d love to watch them drive that on and off the roof

 

[185EZ]

It's pretty EZ.
They have the guide on posts in the middle.
Hardest problem is with the wind especially if both biminis are up.
It's like a sail boat in the wind

Love your stuff Tank so gotta chime in.... When I saw that pic of the gal locked in on her cell while the orange DCB cruises by I had an immediate thought [granted I've been self isolated for over a week now and just had some vices].... that picture is so perfect cause in an instant it conveys so much... for example; we have a beautiful young gal absorbed by her cell phone while a few guys cruise by in a boat that cost as much as a home. Its a total state of affairs moment culturally.... A dude pays a ton of money to gain the attention of a beautiful young lady, and there she is addicted to some social media or selfie shit. You gotta appreciate that picture fellas.... its nature at its essence. I understand some missed this and went down their dysfunctional rabbit holes.... but we've got some intelligent rednecks here. Feel me.
