Our Sceptre 36 we owned until last spring. We've switched to bicycle touring for the next few years. A lot cheaper!

I can't find any pictures of my old boat at the moment it seems but... 8-9 years ago I worked for a wakeboard company, eventually working my way into the role of their tour manager. I ran a couple of the Wakestock events and did some tours through the USA. So, obviously I was going to need a bad ass boat, right?

I think my best day at work ever was the day I walked into my boss' office, where he sat me down and just stared me straight in the eyes for a few seconds before saying: "I need you to make a sweet boat. Here's the credit card. Don't stop until you can't charge any more on it". Challenge accepted!

Long story short, I ended up with a sexy new Wakesetter with a pull tower that was loaded to the nuts with speakers (I think the bill for the sound system - which we installed ourselves - was about $25k), custom graphics and interior, custom corvette engine that was pumping out 480HP and every bell, whistle and upgrade available. All said and done the bill was a good chunk of change over $150k. My boss loved it so much he wanted one of his own set-up for skiing the next summer.

My god that boat was awesome! And being able to spend two summers bombing around on it with the Reef bikini model team was just... Great! Why I gave all that up to go into full-time engineering and a PhD, I will never know.

I miss my boat...
