    Just like a proud pappa....We love this boat. Bought it in 2203 from Texas MasterCraft. It was a trade-in for a MasterCraft from a kid who has gone on to be a pro wakeboarder. Spoke to his dad not long ago and he told me that this boat was a better boat than that 2003 Mastercraft and if his kid had not been sponsored, he would still have this boat. My kid took off with skiing when he was 10. We used my little bass boat to pull him and when he outgrew it, we knew we needed something better. That brings me to this story.

    We went into Texas Mastercraft to get a new binding for a wakeboard. While waiting, I climbed up into one of those $60K boats to check it out. The salesguy walked by and said ,"Man you look good in that boat". I made the mistake of saying something like..."Yeah, but it is a bit too pricey for me." His comeback was "What is your price". He had me at that point. Nothing new would fit my price but he had a boat on consignment that I might be interested in. Drove home with the Dyne that evening and have never looked back. We have over 600 hours on the boat and the only maintenance (except for regular oil and impeller changes) has been a new water pump. I bet I'll have this boat for the next 10 years as long as we take good care of it.

    I don't think they make them like this anymore. Not fast, but it will pull as many skiers as I can throw at it.

    Hydrodyner for life.......

    AWESOME... I've got a 1995 Grand Sport, by far the best boat i've owned. What lakes do you frequent near Fort Worth?
