Devon Feltham’s family Javelin photo: Oct 2018 “G’day, Here’s a few pics of our Javelin. We bought this in Jan 2019 as our first ski boat. The kids love it. The previous owner had it for 30+ years, i think he may have been the second owner. Kind Regards, Devon Feltham” 
Terry Stewart and Family’s Esprit Bowrider photo: Oct 19 
The Gilflite Esprit bow rider has a fantastic wake for barefoot water skiing but where it leaves the other outboard barefoot boats for dead is comfort level. The adjustable seating is a pleasure to sit in and importantly, easy to get out of. The space inside the boat is a real luxury and it handles great.
