Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Kevin and I live in Knoxville, TN and recently bought my first boat. Other hobbies include mountain biking, snowboarding, and photography.
I picked up a 1990 Supra Comp TS6M with only 420 hours! This thing is in great condition and was garage kept for the past 12 years. The boat hasn't been used much at all over the past couple years, so I've had to replace a few things, starter solenoid, battery, general tuneup, etc. But after making those few fixes, it has been running great and we've really been enjoying wakeboarding and kneeboarding behind it. Hoping to try wakesurfing soon!
I've been using this site for a lot of info already, so I figured I might as well go ahead and join. I do have a few questions though. . . thanks in advance for any help with these.
I have two switches for the bilge, but only one seems to work. This activates the bilge directly below the plate in between the captain's and observer's chairs and pumps water out of the starboard side of the boat, is there another bilge somewhere that may not be working for the other switch?
I've been thinking about getting a bimini for some shade, as it gets HOT in East TN. I'm guessing these boats didn't come with a factory option since there doesn't seem to be any visible hooks for one. Any recommendations on where and/or what kind to buy?
The trailer is missing one of the guide poles for the rear, where would I buy another one to match the other three?
I'm hoping to get a wake tower on the boat next year and then start experimenting with ballast, really like the looks of the Aerial Assualt tower.
Anyways, on to what everyone loves, the pictures!
