2010 Malibu 23 LSV Wakesetter

My friend got it earlier this week, took this shot tonight.

That would be an interesting shot as part of a series, but it's not obvious to me what you're trying to illustrate in it?

Living a wakeboard lifestyle myself, this shot is something that caters to a specific set of people.

Awesome shot, good and gritty.

Here are three more. This is the first time I shot a boat, and making sure to have a steady night shot whilst the boat bobbing up and down on the lake was tough. I would appreciate any suggestions/feedback.

Pics are good but Ive never thought you could riced out a boat....

The hard work that went into the build of this boat is nothing short of impressive. The goal was a factory-look. Countless hours of customer fabrication, along with a creative mindset resulted in what you see here.

All the LED lights are "hidden", to where you only see the glow they produce. Apart from a 5000W Wet Sounds setup, there is also a fog machine, mister (it gets hot in Texas) and a laser machine.

Calling it rice, with all due respect, is insulting. Remember, this is a promo boat and is meant to be noticed.

Well with all due respect, thats my opinion. If you have a too thin skin then maybe dont post the thing. Thats a boat that will not appeal to everyone taste, in fact taste could what is lacking. You can spent countless hours of work and that will not automatically make it likeable to every human being in the planet

No need to get heated here son, I am merely explaining what the boat was about. Sounds like you're the one with the thin skin here.

And there is a difference between calling something "riced" rather than just saying it's not "your taste". The latter is a bit more respectful.

Yeah...good luck with that.

O god why? I mean.... I guess if its a promo boat its kinda cool? First picture is cool, the other 3 ya I could do without haha

Not feeling the boat and pics.. sorry..

I can hide neons under a civic, and its still rice when it glows on the ground. I can put a 5000w system in a civic and it will pound like a mofo, and it's still rice.
Rice is rice and this is a riced out boat. Now, having a need for all those lights with all the pretty colors would make them functional and not rice. The speakers, I understand because it is pretty cool hearing music while your on a board in the water.

_All this is just my opinion, I don't want anyone getting upset about it._

Technically, the shots are mediocre. Using such a high iso created a lot of noise. Try using some noise reduction on these. I would have tried some off camera flash for this, it would have taken away that problem of the boat bobbing.

Agree.

Don't listen to them. I'd take a ride in that any day of the week. Those lights are sickkkk.
I'm sure it thumps. It will do a fine job at catching attention.

OK, now I get it. #s 2 & 4 work the best for me.
