  1. It's been a crazy summer / year! Haven't been on here as much as I would like.

     

    Got to sneak in a late fall trip to Powell. Crazy good weather! 75-80 degrees, no wind, water was 71.

     

    My oldest daughter put together a quick video including Eric and Ariel wedding at the end :p

     

    Also a few cameos from Audrey Kate, "AK", my first grand kid, making her first trip to Powell.

  2. It actually isn't that expensive if we find enough members with access to houseboats. For an extended weekend, maybe 4 days, to use my houseboat it would cost around $2K with turnaround fees and houseboat gas. If we only have 15 people on it, it would only be around $140 each, plus food, drink, and surf boat gas costs.

     

    If we could get at least 3 other houseboats, I'd push to make it happen with my boat, it has 6 queen size beds and several mats on top. We could take over the entire beach on the West side of Gunsite for a few days.

  3. I'm in too, as long as it's not in the last 3 weeks of April as I will be in Parker / Havasu

     

    I bet we could pull it off, maybe second week of October? Most "timeshares" on Lake Powell houseboats are wide open to use in October during the "off season". If we could get maybe 4 houseboats out of Page, Wahweap or Antelope, we could get 50-70 people, maybe more depending how intimate we want things :) We had 25 on our houseboat a few weeks ago :shock:

     

     

    We've been there during October the last 4 years, water is usually 75, air is 75-80. Fishing is phenomenal. Occasionally get a day of rain but not much.

  5. I feel for the cost difference the value isn't there, My Enzo wave is ridiculous but its also Slammed just as low as the Avy wave of the same level. Enzo wave is a little longer, your definitely riding deeper to get to the clean setion, not really a bad thing but the lip is a little less defined and closer to the transom it mushes out. the Avy wave tends to be steeper, cleaner close in and the "push" is present a little earlier in the wave. I feel like airs on an Avy wave are primo about 2 ft off the swim deck the enzo... 5 to 6ft back... its all how you slice it I guess I just don't see dumping the extra cash and still having to invest in a lot of upgrades to realize full potential on the enzo...

     

    I ride my Enzo and BigCat's Avy regularly (and regular for that matter), I agree the waves are different but I enjoy surfing both and I get air on both. I haven't noticed a significant difference in push but the Enzo wave definitely curves out away from the boat farther and has a softer transition on top. I don't think the decision is really based on the wave so much as how many people, how much cash, and resale. I bought my 07 in 2010 for $46K (end of season, great deal). I'm pretty confident I've only lost 10 -15 percent of the value in 5 years. It sounds like small crew and selling the wife on the investment may be a little tricky. If that's the case the Avy is the right boat, a great boat! We almost always have a second family with us and having the extra space (in my 240) is an absolute must.

     

    Both boats will be great! Good luck!

  6. coming from an enzo owner, save the cash buy the avy...

     

    Why? Two years newer, more room, and sick wave - the boat used for Wakesurf championships, I'd go Enzo if you can afford it. I suggest the Enzo will hold its value longer. That Avy looks dated, like a generation older with the tower. How many do you expect to have in your crew?

     

    Goofy or regular?

    Despite the note on the bottom of the board, the boat is still leaning the right direction!

    :clap:
