New R8 Owner

Post by CincyR8 »

Finally found my people!

After several years of owning a Baja 342 Boss I figured it was time to let my Don Johnson/Miami Vice wannabe style of life sail. We picked up this 2022 R8 and ohhh baby is this one bad machine. Currently boat on Norris Lake, TN for the summer but when the white deaths comes creeping’ I’ll make my way to the Marco Island area for the winter.

That's a gorgeous boat!
I'm new here too, and came from a competitor (can you say that if there is no comparison?).

Welcome.
Go to new members and post pics (at least of boat) and stories about yourself.
