We never really put the boats away in the Central Texas area. Maybe 6-7 weeks at most for Dec-Jan but even this year we had a couple upper 70's low 80's January days so we got out. Here's a couple weeks ago on Lake Austin in Austin, TX. Just watching Dustin Johnson tee off. We can see 3 holes along the lake. It was upper 80's this day and water 71-72 degrees already.

I think a white domed A insert from domed numbers would look great on your boat.

I did my registration numbers from them they are pretty sweet. I thought about the A this year but I'm gonna sell later on in the year. I'm gonna order my new boat plan and have them do the Malibu and WakeSetter colored for me.

Skip the wetsuit. Just get a drysuit and don't look back. We've been drysuit riding in Wisconsin for two months.

Already have the wetsuits for canyoneering, so no big deal. The lake was frozen 2 months ago and is still surrounded by snowy hills. It's over 6000 feet!

45 isn't too bad if you wear booties and keep your hands out of the water while waiting for the boat to turn around.

We had an exciting time though- I didn't get the vent hook-up tight on two of the ballast bags and they popped off without me realizing it...until the automatic bilge pump kicked on kicking off the mad search of where the water is coming from.

We just went out for the first weekend of 2017. Everyone was a little rusty, but we're getting the wake cleaned up, and had fun getting back onto a board.

Lake Shasta has a lot of debris in the water, but it was full and the water was warming up to 68 degrees.
