Hello guys, been trolling on here for a long time. Picked up my first inboard about a month ago. Been behind several MC's and grew up with an old stars and stripes. I fell in love with Supra back in December of 2003 when I saw the 2004 Supra GG SSV. Took me 10 years but here is my 03 SSV. Found this one on the internet, called, they still had it, called my wife and told her to pack up, 90 min later started 5.5hr drive and bought the boat the next day.
I went ahead and had them put 4 new tires on and a perfect pass the next week. When I drove back down to TX to take possession of the boat we took it for a quick spin so they could show me how the PP works. Not 10 seconds after being in the water we got magic smoke from under the dash but everything worked with the exception of the speedo. The tech didn't cap off the wires from where he had to remove the old speedo to install the PP, they were touching themselves and shorted out. Dealer agreed to let me take the boat 5.5 hrs north and pay my local dealership to fix what they messed up.
I got back from our annual house boat trip in Dale Hollow TN. Boat ran flawlessly, put 30+ hrs on it in less than 5 days. I love this boat and this new thing surfing, defiantly has the wife and I hooked. I doubt if the wife will ever pick up a wakeboard again, me on the other hand, haven't given up quite yet. I still have the stock bags and i brought about 400lbs of lead to move around, but wasn't quite enough for me to go wireless with our LF custom. I need a bigger board and more weight or fab me up a surfgate.
Thanks everyone for all the help you have giving me already and all the help I'm going to need in the future.
