Water kinda sucked, little choppy due to some tubers on the other side of the bay... Only skied twice for a total of 20 minutes the entire time we were down there.

Congratulations! Nice ride you've got there!

Ben, glad to see someone still gets out on the slalom!

[csuggs]

Here's my contribution for now. Finished up the Bimini and the new mirror last night. Also I installed a new Pertronix Ignitor II ignition, Flamethrower coil, and distributor cap. Other than a good cleanup, I think I'm ready for summer.

Ben, glad to see someone still gets out on the slalom!There are a few of us here in Chicago from the forum that still slalom and some barefoot as well. Hopefully we will have some pics of that to contribute later on once I get back into the swing of things.

Got the boat out for the first run today....Ran beautifully :D!!!!!!!!!! It was raining on and off but I still managed to get a quick set in. Kids loved it. Don't have any of just the boat on the water yet... but I'll tell you I had to pinch myself when watching it come back to pick me up. (had to remind myself it was mine) lol Looks awesome on the water. Stock wake is really good too! think I nailed the wake plate setting first time off. He's a couple of shots from today, lake was empty and pure butter!
My Little girl loves the boat : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qSI8rtsZug

getting ready to launch... notice the tow vehicle. lol

The new tower is great. I got to use the perfectpass how did I live without it.

[DAFF]

Googer its funny to think how close I came to buying your boat. I know you had some sadness when you first got it but your Biggen is looken great!!

Jay so glad to see all the pera-smiles on the old Sunsport. So was there much more power than the Bayliner??? Lol. You and the family will have many hours of fun on your boat... Congrats

[TitanTn]

That's what it's all about. Family time on the lake. Congrats.

[DAFF]

A few from the bay... Love the one with all the Bay Piranna (blue gills) eating the goldfish cracker. To think the water usually is not as cloudy as these pics.

No action shots, but here's one of the boat tied to the dock.

Bimini looks great. Matches your carpet well. Beautiful boat! Love it!

[gogger]

Daff - She still needs a floor and stringers. But I believe she will make it through the season. She has came a long way. I have worked about 40 the last 3 days just trying to get ready for today. My wife is a little picky and wanted everything just right. I would have taken it out without any seats if I had to. It looks pretty good. Saddens me to think it all has to come back out this winter when the stringers get done.

Now I am ready to start dressing up the engine. It seems solid, just want it pretty.

Heres a shot of the interior last night. We are taking friends out today. And it will be my wifes first time out in it. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new chapter in our lifes.

[wiatowski]

So was there much more power than the Bayliner??? Lol.

Ummm ya! lol. I love how it turns... at 22 mph on a nice gentle turn it doesn't even lean. I see what you meant that if you'd turn to hard it would throw you. Going to put the dock in today, and maybe take her for another tour. :) I feel like I went from driving a K-car to a Cadillac. :D

I see what you meant that if you'd turn to hard it would throw youRamp that bad boy up to 35mph and crank the wheel, J/King I don't want you to mess your boat up. I don't do jet ski turns that often but they are a crowd pleaser. Best thing about DD's is the handling. DISCLAIMER!! It's real hard on the rudder.

[gogger]

We are just south of Columbus. Spent the day at Deer Creek. Doesn't want to run at idle or low speed. It likes to go fast though. It was leaking oil into the bilge. So we stopped once we noticed. I am not sure where it is coming from. Spent a couple hours anchored, chilling. Was nice. I will look tomorrow and see if I can figure out where the oil is coming from. So we didn't get to try out the new wakeboard. Tubed for a little while. Was a good day.

The wife & I are headed to St. Lucia next week. Over indulging ourselves (Jade Mountain), but how often do you get to celebrate 20 years of wedded bliss (plus 5 years cancer free for her).

Over indulging ourselves (Jade Mountain), but how often do you get to celebrate 20 years of wedded bliss (plus 5 years cancer free for her).Dude, you gotta go do the rooftop/canopy zip lining. 12 lines of ripping through the rainforest canopy like Tarzan and Jane. Longest line there is 1500 feet long!!! Congrats on 20 years plus the 5 cancer free years. Both of our parents are going strong after 30 years.

[jet]

Hey Jetlink..what was that thing on your feet in those action shots??

[kvand347]

My youngest turned 4 last weekend so we had to celebrate on the boat with some friends. On a side note, I had to give some advice to two boaters last weekend. Both were on their first time out for the season, both had just purchased their boats (used), and both overheated. Always, always, always change out your impeller when taking over ownership! One of the guys was a new Supra owner and explained what he needed to do. Told him about our forum too...hope to see him on. His boat overheated so bad it burned a hole in the wet exhaust hose! He said it only got up 200*. Hope he is lucky!! Anyway, here are some pics!

How old are you today?

Really enjoying all the June pics. Hope to have pics of the boat and boarding by next week. For now I will share a pic of the freshly painted house & what I came up with for a dock system. Just finished the install last night, 100% cedar, galv. and aluminum hardware. Any recommendations on a cedar sealer, I plan on letting the deck panels sit for about a week to finish drying.1021310214/

Thanks Scott and Okie!

My son says, "Thanks!" and "They must be some cool dudes!" :D

[wotan2525]

So I finally got my boat in the water this season (but I don't have any photos.) I can't remember ever having it be this late before I dipped it.... but..... there was a good reason. My friend was playing in the Stanley Cup and we got all access passes to the Staples Center to watch!! Hung out and rubbed elbows with the celebrities in the private/secret bar next to the locker room and even got to valet park in the players lot below (which was interesting in our rented toyota carolla.)

The only Supra photo I have is of my boat being towed in from this weekend. Forgot to turn the water on and roasted the impeller. Should be repaired and back in the river this weekend.

[NorCalPR]

So finally, I got the system from the old boat, into the Comp. It's a ported box, for a 12" Alpine, that takes up the corner behind the beat

10226

I then coated the whole thing in paint, then spar urethane so it doesn't rot out.

10225

Then carpeted it. Not the cleanest carpeting job I've done because the carpet is rubber backed.

10224


Then, smoked a 6lb pork shoulder for 14 hrs, and took the boat out. Still waiting for pictures from my buddies...

Is the green egg everything that the online reviews make it sound like? Just heard of these a couple of weeks ago and my interest is HUGE.

[wiatowski]

Got out on the waterfor a bit tonight... shaft seal is leaking quite a bit... I never check on the first run out but was going to leave the boat in tonight cause I'll be going out tomorrow... go thing I checked. I think daff replaced the packing last year... so should I just try to tighten it first? or will I need to replace it?

here's the pics of today and on of the first run out that our uncle took form his place.

The ol SS looks great on the calm of the north!!

As for the seal, I only finger tightened the cap nut so it could of backed itself off a tad. I was under the assumption that too tight was not good so I started off on the loose side. Double check the bilge pump and see if there is a flapper float on it. I think it only has the manual type, after playing with the Launch bilge....

I love the perma smiles on the crew and captain too!

ya there is...I also put a second pump and battery in with a float switch that's wired directly to the battery as a back up. I'm gonna tighten it tomorrow.

Yes. It takes a while to learn to set the vents and build the fire, but once you have it figured out, you can build the fire, light it off, have it to smoking temp in about 10 minutes, and walk away from it for 14 hours while it's doing its thing.

I've also done pizza on a pizza stone, and it came out great. Lowest temp I've had it at was for salmon at 195 degrees, and hottest temp was probably around 850 for searing a steak.

[kvand347]

So it's not a pic of me boating or boarding. My dad is up from Indy so we went borrowed a friend's fishing boat. Who knows what it is? :rolleyes:

Man that butter behind you makes me want to ride!

No clue what the fish is.

We had a hell of a scare today on the way home from the river. I was about 40 yds from a light with an idiot in front of me, it turned yellow (doing 60 or so) and he decides to slam on his brakes after looking like he was going to try and make it. I locked 'em all up and was seriously worried I wasn't going to be able to stop and was going to rear-end him. Thankfully the tundra and boatmate brakes did what they should and we missed him by about 3 ft. Laid on the horn. He was in the intersection already and just then decided to go and run the light. Very scary. Had our 9 month old with us. And the van behind us almost hit the swim step, I saw him in my mirrors veer off the road a bit (no shoulder at this light.

[haugy]

Well, I finally got some pictures. Some of you will notice one or two of the new mods, I will have posts on those later. Keen eyes will see the other.

Took the boat down to Guntersville, AL for a wakeboarding tourny, and had a blast. The hotel was on the water, and a boat ramp in the parking lot. They had a rail jam Friday night, and then the tourny Sat/Sun. Everyone put their boats up but me, and we took the ole Supra to dinner Saturday night. Boat ran great, and had a few offers from buyers, and lots of compliments while it was parked next to the line up of 100k boats.

On the way back we hit up the NASA Space and Rocket Center for some fun. Hit up some flight simulators, and rocked them, girl was impressed that was monitoring. Or just lying to make me feel better. HA!!!

Then of course, I had to take pictures of Black Beauty next to the BlackBird. Two legends in there own worlds.

NICE Haugy!! Way to repesent!

Oooo! SR71!! My fav

[kvand347]

Newer owner as well , why change the impeller?

Changing the impeller is a routine maintenance item. A lot of people change it every year, some every 2...just personal preference. Why change it? If the impeller fails, the boat will not be able to cool itself. Lack of cooling = boat overheating = end of your day (unless you carry a spare). I have ran across 2 people being towed in this year due to a failed impeller. Both boats were under new ownership and both got up to 200* before they shut them down, and both had no idea what the problem was and so I did what I do best--teach! :)

[kvand347]

Haugy--is that you in the flight sim? Now why did I picture you as some cranky old guy at about 70 years old? :p :D

Just messing with you man!

BTW--your boat looks amazing!

[kvand347]

Looks fun! Never been fishing back east. I mostly go out in the ocean for Halibut, Sturgeon and Salmon. Ling Cod is pretty good too

That sounds like it would be a good time! I've never fished west coast. Fished the Gulf of Mexico with my dad and uncle a bunch. Mostly for grouper but end up hooking a lot of shark.

That was taken at about 8pm and I was wishing I had the Supra out instead of the fishing boat!

The fish is a musky.

That's a scary situation! I would have plowed right through him with no trailer brakes! I know, I know...it's the next big item purchase. Hope to have them by mid-July.

[dusty2221]

Missed the lake Saturday due to trailer issues we will hopefully have fixed tonight (as long as parts show up) so i finally built this. I have only been talking about it for 7 years now...ha

bimini and leds are too obvious. the bimini looks fantastic though. led's look great too. did you replace the stock bulbs?

driver side dash by the stereo looks a little busier than stock.

your teak looks clean but thirsty. must be roomy without a loveseat.

:D Nice work. I'll be doing a write up on the LEDs and bimini. Stereo is a big mama jammer for sure, but been there. And the teak is getting oiled this week. Ran out of time last week with work.

The seat is the catch, good job. ROOMY AS HELL. That will be getting a write up as well as I think many will like the options.

Finally time to contribute to the monthly picture threads!

I might not have the prettiest boat on the forum (arguably, it's the ugliest), but I do have the prettiest lake. :P
Here's a few shots. I love it here, it's SO gorgeous, the pictures don't really do it justice.

I love how the light-rays are shining through the clouds in this one.

Here's one of the water-falls at the head of the lake (this beauty is blessed with 2 falls).

My brother on the bow of his boat. He loves the lake, such a character! His boat is pretty sweet too. It fits his personality nicely. He loves to show-off and tear it up. It's super fun to drive, it's like a big wave-runner. Shoots a huge rooster-tail and pushes you back in the seat. To think it has the same engine as my Rider (plus an extra carb and performance intake etc.).
A special prize to the first person to figure-out what his "windshield" is.

Took the boat to Norris Lake, TN for a long weekend. Awesome trip. Stayed at Shanghai Marina. Had motel on water with private dock and ramp. The water was the clearest I've
been on in a while. I thought we were in the Carribean or something. The amount of comments these old supra's get on the water is crazy. had people flag us down just to comment about the old boats.

Had to float the boat away from the dock and get a pic of it.

Gorgeous pics. Love your dedicated driver too. You weren't far from Chattanooga, so I hope you can come back for our Supra meet in July.

[cigars n scotch]

Finally time to contribute to the monthly picture threads!

I might not have the prettiest boat on the forum (arguably, it's the ugliest), but I do have the prettiest lake. :P
Here's a few shots. I love it here, it's SO gorgeous, the pictures don't really do it justice.


What is the temp of that water?

Great scenery.

[csl]

would love to make it in july, but don't think its gonna happen. thats a long haul down there from ohio. don't know if we will make that far of a trip again this year or not.

Hey thanks, by the looks of your pictures earlier we have the same ride, just exact opposite color scheme. what year is yours? I have an 87

86...... thought the same thing.

[mapleleaf]

Well, I finally got some pictures. Some of you will notice one or two of the new mods, I will have posts on those later. Keen eyes will see the other.

Took the boat down to Guntersville, AL for a wakeboarding tourny, and had a blast. The hotel was on the water, and a boat ramp in the parking lot. They had a rail jam Friday night, and then the tourny Sat/Sun. Everyone put their boats up but me, and we took the ole Supra to dinner Saturday night. Boat ran great, and had a few offers from buyers, and lots of compliments while it was parked next to the line up of 100k boats.

On the way back we hit up the NASA Space and Rocket Center for some fun. Hit up some flight simulators, and rocked them, girl was impressed that was monitoring. Or just lying to make me feel better. HA!!!

Then of course, I had to take pictures of Black Beauty next to the BlackBird. Two legends in there own worlds.

sydneyace...how did you find board shorts that match the bitching seats? lol

LOL!! I bought the boat and seat to match the shorts, not the other way around.


What is the temp of that water?

Great scenery.

I didn't have a thermometer to measure, but my body said it was "pretty cold". If I had to guess, I would say it was high 50's. The air was like 75 that day. The wind was blowing so the only place to get smooth water is up by the falls where the cliffs shelter the water. Coincidentally, that is also the main inlet for the lake, and the water running-in is direct snow-melt run-off so it's the coldest water in the lake. Thanks be to the wet suit! My poor girlfriend, who is still learning to get-up, got in the water to try and got right back-out. She was like; "How can you get in this?! You're crazy!" I told her it "wasn't bad" but I guess my definition of "not bad" and her's are a little different. A few adult beverages and a nice hot dark-blue vinyl seat helped a little. Not to mention I've been bitten by the wakeboarding bug really bad, so I just don't care.

It can be 85 degrees or warmer out and she will be cold and not stay in the water long. Also, sweat shirts are always packed for her and we have a blanket on the boat at all times for her. She's also cold in the Caymans, wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt while the rest of us are in shorts or at least short sleeve shirts. Pic to show evidence...

Jetlink. Everything about that video is cool!! Except the 2-ski start?? Rookie! lolIt was a rather tight area to thread through coupled with getting a ton of salt water in my eyes. I wanted to get up fast with minimal spray so I had less risk of running into something. Err on the side of caution my friend... I did drop the ski though even before I had totally planed out.

I'm surprised you even knew what those were since you asked what was on my feet in the pictures from the first run on the skis...:D

[jet]

LOL, I will have to show you my 1-leg start on a slalom ski some day (yes, I can also do it with both feet in). just giving you a hard time my ski friend. Oh, did they take the training wheels off your plane yet??

Son, I've never had training wheels on any airplane I've ever flown... I have a set though if you need them... Hahaha!!!

You got it SRT8 wheels on a stock jeep, but its the 3.0L Diesel! Found the SRT8 OEM (Forged Aluminum Alcoa's :) ) wheels for a deal that I couldn't turn down! Surprisingly my towing capacity is greater then the Hemi version! hhaha

wsc how did you get your boat all blacked out? paint? looks sick

[WakeSurfCanada]

wsc how did you get your boat all blacked out? paint? looks sick

Gel Coat! Worked with a friend in the composites industry and he was able to help me mix and spray the boat! Need to add a thinning agent for it to be sprayable, I believe it's called "Durex"? I don't think you can go wrong with paint or gel-coat on one of these old boats, the reason we opted for gel is because the we could wetsand out some of the imperfections, making the prep time substantially less before spraying.

The bottom (Grey/Gunmetal) is a 2-Part epoxy paint that was also suggested to me by the same guy.

Timing and a different bay for each wind direction lol!

Truthfully it can been pretty choppy and unpleasant from time to time, but I live a block from the lake with my boat in a slip walking distance from the house. Early AM and dusk sets seem to be the name of the game!

[wiatowski]

Got on the lake today after the kids came home from school. Still getting use to the new wake and set up I'm riding this year.

Really enjoying all the June pics. Hope to have pics of the boat and boarding by next week. For now I will share a pic of the freshly painted house & what I came up with for a dock system. Just finished the install last night, 100% cedar, galv. and aluminum hardware. Any recommendations on a cedar sealer, I plan on letting the deck panels sit for about a week to finish drying.1021310214/

Looks good. Glad you got your dock situation sorted out. What did you end up doing for padding/protection for boat and cleats and such?

[Jetlink]

You all are killing me...or as it goes down where I am, Y'all are killing me... I'm stuck playing video games while you are all out on your boats.

Last week on a buddy's boat...

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Water%202012/P1020870.jpg

Had mine out the weekend before last but didn't get any pictures. Busting my butt getting her cleaned up for vacation next week...

Compounded and polished this side last year. Might do a light polish and wax.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Supra%20Saltare/P1020882.jpg

Finally got around to hitting this side, First pass compounding done. Looked good but hard to tell with the sun going down, might have to do one more pass before polishing.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Supra%20Saltare/P1020887.jpg

Tools of the trade... I did compound the transom after taking this picture. Didn't pull the platform, just did it quick and dirty since it was getting dark.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Supra%20Saltare/P1020888.jpg

Forecast is rain tomorrow, but if that's the case hopefully I can finish it Saturday, be on the water Sunday, then headed to the lake house for a few weeks Tuesday.

[TitanTn]

Looking good cadunkle. What's in the spray bottle?

[cadunkle]

Thanks. Just water in the bottle... keeping things cool and moist to not burn the gel.

[cigars n scotch]

Where is your lake house at? NJ or PA?

[sydneyACE]

Here's a pic we took last night.

This is my buddy Sam behind the boat. This was his first time, and he did a pretty good job!

Wake-plate is about 1.5 inches up from being level with the bottom of the boat.
About 950# of ballast distributed 70% rear 30% front. Myself driving, another guy in the back seat, my GF in the observer's seat, and 2 kids in the bow. So that's about 600# of people basically centered in the boat. I was going a little bit slower than I ride because it was his first time and I didn't want him to have a hard wreck when he went down. Speed's probably about 16-18ish.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/sydneyACE/Supras/Sam6-22-12Como950s4people.jpg

Wake looks pretty good right there but we are going a little too slow. When I ride about 20-22ish it flattens-out some more and gets narrower.

I think it needs MOAR BALLAST lol!
My GF thinks I've gone crazy. I've spent the last couple weeks putting anything heavy that I can find in the boat. I don't want to haul any more solid weight back and forth to the lake, so now I'm just gonna concentrate on creative cheap ideas for water weight.

[wiatowski]

So enjoying the June butter. Was out for an hour tonight. The wife doesn't do to bad considering she's driving and taking pics.

A little farther than that, Maine. Not sure what MESupra is up to (check your PM) but I think were were going to meet up as the pond he's on is about an hour from me.

Almsot done... and it is HOT out! Should have some water pictures tomorrow.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Supra%20Saltare/P1020896.jpg

Still need to clean up the bottom. Would love to compound/polish/wax but what a pain that will be! Think I'll try hitting it with some acid to clean the scum off and brighten up a bit. Maybe at the end of the season I'll go over it properly but I don't have it in me with this heat and getting ready for vacation.

[wiatowski]

Love the condition of your boat! Can you come and do my teak? Sorry to here that you haven't got to use her yet. Almost makes me sad to post my pics... These are compliments of my father in-law.... can't believe the calm water we've been having here in Eastern Ontario... water temp 79 degrees. Enjoy!

Yeah, you're killing me! Great pics...keep 'em coming. The pics of that glass water is just ridiculous! Best looking water shots I've seen on here.
Do you ski past the sunset law? Do you have that law in Canada?
I might be wrong but I think it's 1/2 hour after sunset.... I was pretty much done at sunset. We got on the lake at 5 and it was glass then to. The lake I ride on only gets choppy when we have a north or south wind over 6-8 mph. Other than that she's pretty calm.... not glass like it's been lately but calm. Worst waves I see are like 6" lol. Lake is only 3 miles long and 1/4 - 1/2 mile wide. and lined with rock and high trees on all sides.

Here's a few more.... for some reason no one can seem to snap a pic of me in the air. lol

Got out today and had a blast! Long day and met up with several riders, and got a friend up for his first time. I couldn't believe my fortune at having flat water well into early afternoon and no other boats until about the same time! Got some great riding time in and for once wasn't feeling tired or achey.

Stopped around noon for lunch...

Just out of curiosity I looked it up. Here in Canada you can tow a person from Sunrise to 1 hour after Sunset.

Twilight or civil twilight? There's a difference of about 25-30 minutes between the two.

I think just regular sunset, like what we have to go by for oversized loads..... I don't think I'd ride after 1/2 hour anyways... gets to hard to see the wake, not to mention the skeeters come out in droves.

[haugy]

ngavdba I am truly confident that your Rider is the best I've ever seen. I've never seen that much attention to detail, and originality as yours.

Truly gorgeous boat man, I could look at those pictures all day long. I hope you get to get her out soon.

OK, I finally get to add something here. Video of me and friends and Im practicing my backroll video. Its on my FB page, and I cant figure out how to download it hear so check it on my FB page.

[sydneyACE]

We got-out this weekend for some more fun!
Went to the lake Saturday afternoon and camped-out then left Sunday evening.
I was playing with the ballast some more to try and get it right.
Put some more weight in the rear to steepen-up the wake a little. (Before I felt like I wasn't getting enough vertical pop.)
*FYI lining the rear ski-locker with plastic then filling it up with water is a pretty easy way to get an extra 240#s of ballast in the back. :)
I ended-up getting a few really nice jumps (for a new guy) where I got plenty of vertical air and still got a nice soft wake-to-wake landing.

Anyway, on to the pics:

Here's on of my little guy playing on the ramp. He's so funny when he's trying to "cheez-it-up" for the camera, he always jutts-out his lower jaw. LOL!
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/sydneyACE/Supras/SDC10064.jpg

You can see I got about halfway done wet-sanding on this side. LOL! I don't care, I'd rather be boating than wet-sanding and polishing. :P
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/sydneyACE/Supras/SDC10067.jpg

Ballast is about 1000lbs here. This is without the home-made "fat sack" in the ski-locker full.

After seeing pictures of ngavdba's beautiful Rider, I'm almost embarassed to post pics of mine. In my defence though, It's better than when I bought it. So, at least I'm making it better, not worse. She's a work in-progress, still needs lots of time and TONS of $ spent before she's good again. Luckily, in the mean time, it's been doing a great job providing lots of fun for myself and my family.

You guys are just saying the boat's pretty cause I was careful not to take any close-ups. Hehehe!

As for the quote, I have to admit I cheated and googled it. I was just gonna guess "Lonesome Dove", cause I think one of the guys gets killed right after they make-it to Montana. (One of my favorites)

After I looked, I remembered it was "The Hunt for Red October". The part where he was talking about living in MT with a pick-up and rabbits and stuff always makes me laugh.

Here's another beautiful MT lake pick just for good measure:

Yeah, buddy! I've been doing some wet-sanding this spring already. If you look closely in some of the pictures, you can see I made it about halfway back on the starboard side and I did a little patch on the port where my registration numbers go. I'm taking a break from-it though for a while.

My Bro's GF posted some pics of Sunday on Facebook. So I figured I would share those too.

And last but not least, she got a pic of the Supra too. (I've heard this is a Supra forum.)
This is with my rear "fat sac" full, 4 adults and 2 kids. The ballast is about 1400lbs, and I'd say about 700lbs of people.
With my 13x12.5 prop, it took about 7-10 seconds for her to get all the way out-of the water with me behind her. I'd say I've reached my limit with this prop. The wake was BIG though and very firm, kinda steep-ish, gave me a nice vertical pop without having to cut-in super hard and end-up landing in the flats. I don't have any plans to put more weight in her as of right-now. I'm sure with enough skill (keep practicing Trav) a guy could do some HUGE tricks behind this boat.

Teach them about safety when they are young -- you will NEVER regret it!

Holy crap batman. Is that a ramp behind you? Dam that thing is steep.

[chrisk]

I believe that's a dam Jet

[chrisk]

HA! I think I just caught the pun... that was a dam good one.

Here's what my current desktop background is, my boat a couple of weeks ago:

I don't see any burnouts going up that joker for it to be a boat launch. Got to be a spill way

[sybrmike]

Wowsers, lots of action while I've been away. All the boats are looking great - especially since they're on the water, being used & enjoyed by the owners, families, and friends. Mine's back in the garage waiting for final tower install & few odds & ends, but hope to take her out again soon.

No, it's not a Supra & not mine, but did manage to enjoy the water while the wife & I celebrated our 20th anniversary and 5 years cancer-free for her down in St. Lucia.

Just as pretty down below as up above...

[chrisk]

Very cool Mike!

[Jetlink]

Ahh, yes, the Pitons... Have many pics of them and yeah, the water was gorgeous when I was down there a month ago as well! Did you guys get a chance to go zip lining?

[sybrmike]

No Ben, didn't make it to the zip lines or the volcano. Too tired after getting this perspective of the Pitons - 2619 ft up on top of Gros Piton looking down at Petit Piton. A real bitch of a climb, but I'd say the view was worth it...

Hope my next shots are from 75 ft in back of the Saltare.

[jet]

LOL, you fell for it!

[DGREEN]

Finally get to add to the June pic thread! Some shots from our weekend at Crescent Bar.

Damn I love that truck!

Yeah that thing is badass! Everytime I see it I think of this one done at a local shop.
