Can I get back on Team Red with my new BFN

I was hoping to be allowed back on Team Red (I was on Team Cranberry once and it wasn't the same). I've been shopping for a new to me boat for a few weeks when my brother called me to say he saw a Barefoot Nautique on the side of the road for sale. I was looking for a 93 & up Ski Nautique, but I went and looked at this Barefoot, and this thing is immaculate. 600 hours, but looks brand new. Interior is in great shape. This is my first BFN so I'm not sure of how I am going to like it, but I love the look of it, and it has a Big Block Chevy in it. I tried, but couldn't stop myself from buying it.

Very nice find

Red is just another shade of Pink

Fine lookin vessel you got there, congrats!!

You lucky dog!

Enjoy the roar.

Wow thats a really nice boat!
congrats!
If you are a barefooter you will really like the skiing behind it. The table behind it is very soft!

I'm not a Barefooter I like to ski, that is why I will have to see if I'm going to keep it. I work with a guy who barefoots before work and occasionally at lunch. He is trying to get me to learn. I don't have an excuse now.
"Old, Tall, Fat, Bald guy tries to learn Barefooting" Doesn't seem like a good idea.
One more pic

BFN lacks of tracking fins?

Plenty of fins, no problem tracking straight! It's the turning that's not so hot.

Welcome back to Team Red
Wow, is that thing nice. It looks like it came from Minnesota? Like was said before, boats like that rarely show up on the side of the road. The seller must not be familiar with Craigslist.
You are going to like that boat for cruising, footing, and most towed sports, Slalom skiing, not so much.
I've probably asked you this before, but where in Michigan are you? You should bring that bad boy to the Bucketed race, or next month's Lockwood River Roar. Lots of BFN's at both events.

Wow nice find consider yourself lucky! Good luck learning to barefoot.

The 87-90 Barefoot is longer than the 87-89 Ski (all Barefoots are longer) and most notably between the pylon and the observer seat.

Great find for sure. Right place right time for you = score for Team Red

Nice. You didn't mention what it cost.

Beautiful boat! Great find.

It did come from Minnesota. The guy I bought it from drove to Minnesota to pick it up for another guy, but that deal fell through, so he sat it out by the road at his son's house and that is where my brother saw it. He didn't give me the Cypress Garden's story, but instead told me that it was the personal boat of the guy who owns Manheim Auction's.

I live in Davison- between Flint and Lapeer. I would love to take it to the Buckethead race. I've been watching quite a few videos of the race- One Bad Azz Race. Not familiar with Lockwood, but I want to go there too.

I remember that you bought a very similar condition BFN a while back, that is a very good looking boat.
