More email hilarity?...

With all of our group's passion for being nautical and in the process of some of us getting new boats this year, Tom and Stephanie have begun to think more seriously about purchasing their own boat. They want to have the freedom to go out on their own, enjoy some quality time together, and be able to bring their dogs with them. In this process, they have initiated the debate of "what type of boat to get". Should they get a bowrider, cuddy, deckboat, jon boat, or even a performance ski/wakeboard boat? We don't know...but so far, it appears the leading contender is the performance ski/wakeboard boat. Back at the boat show in January, Tom feasted his eyes on the spacious, not overly expensive Moomba Mobius LSV and they've been leaning towards it ever since. Not a bad choice, however, to add to the confusion of Tom's decision is the fact that he does NOT wakeboard. Well, he can get up on one (for a short time), but I would consider that more "survival from faceplanting" than "wakeboarding". Now, Stephanie can wakeboard, nothing in terms of fakeys or flips, but would get SOME use of the boat's facilities. One day, during some random friendly banter between Tom, Cameron, and myself, I decided to create some dialogue that Tom would encounter if he were to purchased said Mobius.
You gotta know Tom to really enjoy the comedy, but it's still good...

A stranger at the marina: Nice boat!
Tom: Thanks...just got her this spring.
Stranger: What kind of engine you got in that?
Tom: Ah...an Indmar 350. Runs great.
Stranger: I bet you get some great wake off that.
Tom: I wouldn't know....I still haven't gotten up yet.
Stranger: WHat?
Tom: Yeah, I've only be doing this for a couple years and have only been able to get out of the water once, and that was only for a couple seconds.
Stranger: Ok....keep practicing I guess...
Tom: It's hard man, you try it. It hurts my rotar-cuff, but my fiance/wife does good.
Stranger: At least someone gets something out of it.
Tom: Hey...I love it. It's got this spot under the seat for my beer cooler, and listen to this horn...**sounds like a barge horn***...that's some horn...not like my friend's family truckster
Stranger: Anything else you like.
Tom: uh...I can stand in the water and get stuff out of the front area since there's no seat there. That's cool too.
Stranger: I see.
Tom: Gotta go, my buddies just showed up. The 3 of us are going to slowly cruise by trailer parks and camp sites with my waketower speakers/subs blaring and yell for the b^tchs...you wanna join us? There's room for 16.
Stranger: Can I wakeboard on it then?
Tom: Uh...I don't have a wakeboard.
Stranger: WHAT! No wakeboard?
Tom: I just borrow my buddy's. They're expensive and I already spent a buttload on this boat.
Stranger: Ok then...nice talking to you. Enjoy your glorified pontoon boat!
Tom: I will...I will. Now...where should I put this extra beer? Ah...in one of these stupid compartments that's suppose to hold the wakeboards. Aces!
