So I won a Waverunner...

Yes, I won a 2010 Yamaha 1100 VX Deluxe! Now I know it's not the best pwc out there, but it was free, other than tax and all the other bs. Anyway, here's my cheesy ass on it right after I won...(no the beer and girls didn't come with it)

And a pic inside the garage.

Tow vehicle and new toy.

My wife thinks the garage is getting a little full of toys, I think not.

I've been around boats and pwc for years now, but have never owned my own, and have never boated around Columbus. Any suggestions on the best places around here to take her out for a quick spin?

Congrats, how did you win it?

 

QFM96 and Superior Beverage had a drawing at some Giant Eagle locations around Columbus this summer. You had to be one of the 96 people to qualify and show up at a later date for the final drawing. It's still a little surreal as I have yet to take her out on the water.

Congrats, welcome to the water crew. Where are you looking to ride around Columbus? I'm at Alumn a lot during the week and buckeye on the weekends.\

 

First thing you should by:

Looks like the Riva Stage one kit will only get you to 55MPH.

how much did the tax and other BS cost you? I've always wondered how much out of pocket it takes when you win something.

 

Tax, title and fees were just under $600. Then registration for the trailer and ski as normal. I hear I must document it on my 2011 federal taxes as an income?!

I live in Pickerington but my wife thinks Buckeye Lake is nasty, even though she's never been out there yet. I've heard good things about Alum and I was thinking of taking it down to Cesars Creek as well since that's on the way to family. Anywhere else you suggest?

Ohio river is a blast and there is a River in Dayton that is about 5 miles long I would like to ride on. I wish there were Rivers around Columbus to ride on. There is also delaware lake I might try this weekend.

One of my coworkers who has a ski said someone told him it's illegal to ride on the Scioto? :confused:
