@dchristman Kandi is pretty awesome

[Horton]

This image of Camille is pretty good

I would like this image more if @rico was more behind the engine cover

 

 

[dchristman]

Oops, 1-off mismatch.  I thought the names were below the pictures and you were looking for a new name.  Turns out it was "The Tickler" I preferred.  Camille is nice too!

[dchristman]

OK. Kandi is sweet.

[Jaypro]

Black Beauty is pretty sweet....

 

[Horton]

Looking for better pictures of Bruce. That silver flake looks so good in the sunlight

Note the child on the engine cover

 

[Broussard]

This is the type of content we love to see!

[Horton]

Here is Rob getting ready to drive me

[chaloux]

What's the tower for on Kandi? Surely not... Wakeboarding? Or god forbid, TUBING? 

[Horton]

@chalouxIt is good for beginners. Used it for trick a little but not as much as I wanted. It is also a great hand rail getting in and out of the boat. It keeps the rope off the drivers back when you pull out. If money is not the subject I would always order the tower.  

[bananaron]

@HortonI did not know you have had so many boats over a short period of time.Its almost as many as I have had however your boats are new or newer prostars and I buy and sell older ones.You are a lucky guy to have this opportunity and also live in a prime area.ENJOY AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE.....Someday you will be old like me and forget how to get home!!

Totally agree, I was just messing with you. And I think Kandi is my favourite. I have a tower on my Sport Nautique and will 💯 always have a tower on my ski boats. 

[bikesrus]

Definitely Fred…..

[DW]

I propose a thread title change:  'How damn lucky can I be'

Bruce & Camille are sweet, but really, who would complain about any of them.

[chaloux]

What is the reality of the situation? Horton had probably explained in the past, but are you buying and selling, or getting promo boats, or what exactly? Also if you'd rather not say that is fine, whatever. I'm still looking forward to picking up a '21+ PS whenever my garage is finished. 

[BlueSki]

@Horton what is the story behind each of the human names for the boats? I seem to recall you soliciting suggestions in the past. 

[MitchellM]

Great thread!  I think you just won a gift certificate to PerfSki.

Did you have a favorite color combo?

[Horton]

@BlueSkiThe first boat was Bumblebee for obvious reasons.... and then it just became a thing. 

@chaloux Lets just say running this web site has a few benefits.

For sure, promotional value alone of basically the biggest/only ski community online makes a lot of sense!

Kandi

 

OH Kandi!!  LOVE!!!

[skiermanbrad]

They are all beautiful boats. Bumble Bee is my favorite.

[swc5150]

Black Beauty and Camille were my favs.  It's always fun seeing what you come up with.

[Kong]

Think I accidentally copied your Camille Ooops! Not an exact replica, but, pretty close!

[Blofeld]

Bruce is sexy

[Kong]

[DW]

Not sure one could get away with 'I look at it for the articles' with this thread:-)  The youngsters won't get it...

[Horton]

[chaloux]

Too much white, boring

[Ski2000]

Nice, another one with a tower

[motoxr]

Looking forward to the big reveal!

 

[motoxr]

I refer to my obsession for looking at boats as Boat Porn. Allows me to always be honest at what I'm looking at......

[Slalom.Steve]

@motoxr If you're looking for "boat porn," follow my ski boat Instagram 😁 - Water Ski Boat Gallery (@skiboats_only) • Instagram photos and videos

[Cooper_Trelawney]

@SlalomSteve it's a cool account!  Who doesn't like drooling over great ski boats??

[MatadorMaine]

Navy flake, white and black. 

[Horton]

does anybody have a picture of KLP's current boat. so simple & so great looking

[Horton]

this pretty girl is sitting on the dealer floor in Sacramento.

[jpwhit]

I thought you were getting the mini-tower?

[Horton]

 above is not mine.

Below is current BallOfSpray ProStar

[Cooper_Trelawney]

Based on the second photo above, I'd name her the Purple People Eater.  Whether she has 1 eye, 1 horn and flies remains to be determined. 

[Horton]

@Cooper_Trelawney

She is known as "Lucy"

[escmanaze]

I love it.  Please keep ordering them with Towers Horton.  One of these days, I'm going to be buying one of these on the Western used market and I need it with a tower.  Let's get a bunch of those available all around the west please.  
 

P.S.  I love the MC tower.  It is so minimalist and out of the way for slalom.  Interfaces with bimini excellently.  So awesome.  

[escmanaze]

Also, what's with the weird shaped swim deck on Kandi?  

 

 

[Horton]

@escmanaze that was the wrong swim step. Odd things happen when you get marketing boats. I liked it a lot but it was non-standard so I got the standard one. It is now a coffee table.

[6balls]

@horton that rocks!  I bet they could sell those--who doesn't need a cool coffee table.  You can also bolt it to your starting dock at water level like skiwatch tourney starting dock--very cool.  

[Horton]

@6balls you can bolt my coffee table to your dock after you pull it from my cold dead hands

[Broussard]

@6balls Looks like a wake boat platform. You can certainly buy one through your local dealer! I believe we began cutting chamfers on the rear corners there around mid 2010s so that it didn't cut into the surf wave.

[Horton]

@Broussard

there aren't any "chambers" "chamfers". it really looks like the right swim step. it's just a little bit too big and slightly the wrong shape.( or I'm not really sure what you mean by the "chambers" "chamfers")

I actually liked it a lot on the boat. in practical terms it really wasn't too big but it is a chunk bigger than the actual swim step design for the boat.

 

( @Broussard nailed me on a voice to text error. It happens )

[DW]

Cool table but I like the phone.
