NEB? New England Boat Works? We're currently at Conanicut and then usually to Hinckley in the early spring/late fall.

Ive got a MC prostar 205 with a new dimension tower and I pump in about 1000lbs. of ballast. It gets the job done... Unfortunately, I just tore my ACL last week riding...

When I was younger I used to live on the lake in the summer and go out on the boats every day. I still try to get there as much as I can, but with work and other stuff it's been pretty hard. Anyway...this is what we have:

2002 X-Star

Boston Whaler 130 Sport

and not technically boats, but two of these - 2008 Sea Doo RXP

Nothing beats hanging out on the lake all day on a nice summer day.

Yeah the transom has always been a problem on these. We actually had to completely make a new one. I have been sailing my Force 5 more so. However, I have to sell it because of me moving across the country and I really need the cash.
