boat being auctioned this saturday

The VT wakeboard club is auctioning our old club boat. Its a 2001 Malibu Sportster LX (yellow/white) with Boatmate trailer (yellow). It needs some work. Main thing is that it needs a new engine. Upholstery is in fair condition, with some tears. It seems to me that the hull is in good condition structurally and the stringers too. It has a tower although one weld needs to be repaired (cracked). Put a few grand into this thing and you could have a 2001 boat for a steal. It probably wont go for more than a couple grand. If you have the time and will for a project boat, this could be a great buy. 

If interested, here is some info. 

The auction will take place at VT Surplus located at 1425 S Main (in Blacksburg), near Our Daily Bread and across from Kroger on THIS Saturday, July 31st. It is item number 384, and they guessed that it will be auctioned at around 11AM. Doors open at 8AM if you want to look at it on saturday, auction starts at 9AM. If you want to see it at another time, you can go to surplus and see it any time between 7:30AM and 4PM on Thursday

If you know anyone who may be interested, please let them know...we are really hoping to meet our reserve and get a little money out of this boat so we can look towards buying a new boat and pay for travel expenses/competitions this year.

SML Updaty Stuff

Sorry there haven't been any new videos lately. Filming with the crew out here at SML has been hard to organize because of work schedules and lazyness on my part (all I do is wakeboard and sleep and drink monster and wakeboard some more), so we haven't been getting much done. Stay tuned though, a Robby McFarland video is lurking just around the corner... Hopefully.


However, there is the Battle of Bull Run II coming up next weekend here at Smith Mountain Lake in VA (the comp is July 17) and if you follow this blog at all, then you had best be coming out there. It's going to be a huge flotilla party of pretty much epic proportions if last year was any indication. Plus the competition has been bringing out more and more sick riders every year, so it's sure to be a good show.


Stay classy my friends.
