[cadunkle]

What are you guys up to this month? Here's a few of mine...

Heading to the lake...

6 hours, 4 states and 40 gallons later, almost there...

Then a couple more hours...

Some underwater video, finally worked up the nerve to submerge my camera.

[cigars n scotch]

Where are you staying? rent a cabin/lakehouse for the week or weekend or something? Looks nice, love being able to just tie up the boat and head out whenever you want.

What camera did you submerge? Enjoy the lake.

[cadunkle]

I'm staying on Thompson Lake in Maine, relatives have a vacation home on the lake. Unfortunately the people who were coming with me bailed so I have no crew to ride. So just winging it. I'll be up here for a bit over two weeks. Hopefully I can find someone to ride with, but it's a quiet lake.

Camera is a Kodak Playsport. I have a thing about getting electronics wet so it was a big plunge to do the first time under water. Just watched the video again and saw a fish at about 30 seconds. Maybe I'll take up fishing.

[csuggs]

Looks like the boat is MIGHTY CLOSE to the bottom of the lake in your underwater video - be careful of that!

Great pics - would be nice to spend two weeks on the lake. Enjoy!!

[dickboxers]

Dang. 6 hours. I would almost be to my deer lease and still be in the same state. crazy!

[KY Steve]

Spent four days on the lake over the holiday weekend.

Wish my boat was half as cool as your guys, but for what I paid we are having a blast.

[wotan2525]

Good pics, everyone!

(I should have been more clear, maybe.... the new 242 with the wrap and the wetsounds isn't mine.... I wish it was!)

[jaywidhalm]

I dig that pic of the Coronas with the lights shining! Looks sweet.

[cadunkle]

Great pics guys, glad you're all getting out on the water.

Csuggs, I'd definitely prefer to have some more water under the boat! It's about a foot from the lower point towards the front, well, my foot anyhow. haha I put in on the buoy overnight or when it gets windy/rough.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Maine%202011/IMG00042-20110712-0706.jpg

[csuggs]

Great pic of your baby on the still water cadunkle. That looks like a beautiful lake! Good idea tying to the moring buoy at night.

[cadunkle]

And again after putting her to bed for the night...

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/cadunkle/Maine%202011/P1020612.jpg

Flat water for half the day, and again in the evening. Hardly anyone on the lake all day, nobody around during the week. I'd kill for a crew right about now. On the bright side, I've probably drove my boat more in the past week than I have in the past year.

[Jetlink]

How much longer are you up there for and what town with scheduled air service are you nearest?

[cadunkle]

haha I'll be here through the 24th. Actually have a friend flying up into Portland, ME on Sunday, only a 30-40 minute drive. We won't have a third but if we can't come up with anyone I think we'll be riding illegal at sunrise when there's no other boats.

[dusty2221]

Great pic's everybody! Keep 'em coming-please! I am stuck in France for 2 more weeks(work) so this is keeping me stoked! I can't wait to get home- 1st thing I am gonna do is kiss the wife, 2nd is head to the lake for a week or so...I will post pic's when I get back!

Yea, my shorts.

She is getting better, she had just finished wakeboarding this time and just hadnt taken em back off yet!

[Jetlink]

Had the opportunity to meet up with Mapleleaf from here up in northern Michigan. Here are a few shots after an afternoon session on the boat.

[jet]

Hey Jet#2 what kind of front seat is that?? You have more pic's?

[Jetlink]

Hey Jet#2 what kind of front seat is that?? You have more pic's?

Pretty sure I can get more pics of the seat. I'm away from the boat at the moment but next time I have the cover off, I will snap a few.

[devovino]

Well its not much, but my buddie snapped a pic on his I-phone after parking the trailor, figures some is better than none! Anyways next time I will have to snap some more photos, on this day I was more concerned with playing with wakeskates and surfboards!

[chrisk]

Here's a few pictures from this past weekend, one of a group of 8 friends in the boat, a couple action shots, and the last one is a pic I took while my buddy and I were cliff diving at a quarry

My first and only entry for July's pic thread. This was 7am on July 17th on the Ohio River at Belpre. Best water is always early here . . .

My oldest son - what can I say?

[wotan2525]

I'll try to remember the my camera cord tomorrow. I found a waterproof digital camera as we were cleaning up the beach after a long weekend. Interestingly, whoever lost it took more photos of our party than we did! Bachelor party weekend, but I'm sure there are some SFS (safe for supra.com) photos on there. ;)

[haugy]

I'll update my build thread tomorrow, but for now..........

[oward1202]

I figured it was time to put some pics up of mine, so here she is....

[chrisk]

Nice work as always Haugy!

And that teak ski locker is definitely a different look!

[csuggs]

Sexy Comp, Owen!

[oward1202]

Thanks guys! The previous owner stained the teak!! Obviously they had no idea what they had. It was still stained when the picture was taken but I have since taken it off and completely sanded the whole thing down to raw wood and put teak oil on it. It looks much better now and the way it was meant to be. I also will be wet sanding it next week to get the black to really pop.

[haugy]

Damn Owen, that is a REALLY RARE comp right there. Two striped monotone with teak locker. Nice.

[Jetlink]

Not so great quality on this picture, I walked out in the morning at 7AM and this is what I saw. Had to snap a picture real quick with the camera phone and then promptly went out and did some riding before breakfast...or at least that was the plan. Rode from 7:30 until well after 10.

[Blackntan90]

Great pic's guy's! Haugy, that tower looks great(not that the boat dosent)! Makes me wish I did not get the monster, trying to save money!

[DGREEN]

Here's a couple of the boat on the trailer, but we've hardly had any descent weather up here in Seattle......torture

You ain't kidding Dgreen! I am escaping this Sunday for the North Cascades for six days of play in the sun.

[DGREEN]

I tell you what!! Im suffering like the rest of the NorthWest boaters. Luckily I spent most of June in Entiat and Crescent Bar, but come on this is prime time right now. Im with you, we r planning on heading east every weekend till things shape up! I'll pay for the gas if it means fun in the sun buddy!!

What's up guys? I'm new to the site and the world of owning a Supra. Looks like a great group of owners. I've attached a few pictures of my '86 TS6M Comp that is in progress. Can't wait to get to know everyone more!

Cheers!

Dang that's definitely some eye-catching vinyl! Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of Supras!

Man that is one sweet hot rod! Now you need some blue led's. Welcome

Dang that's definitely some eye-catching vinyl! Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of Supras!

I hope that's a good thing! I'm definitely excited to be a part of the Supra family.


Man that is one sweet hot rod! Now you need some blue led's. Welcome

I'm going to wait until the weather cools off over the winter to do a few projects like LED's, transom/platform lighting, etc.


Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

-Adam

[chrisk]

LED's are something you can tackle on a rainy day in a garage if you want to get them ready for a few summer nights!

[csuggs]

Your Comp looks great Adam! I love Comps and your color scheme rocks! Only one thing . . . isn't that dark blue vinyl a little hot to touch?

Great looking boat!!!!

[ATL_Adam]

You know what...you're right. I think I shall place and order and then wait for the first rainy day! Why wait an entire year before I get to enjoy the fruits of my hard labor?


Your Comp looks great Adam! I love Comps and your color scheme rocks! Only one thing . . . isn't that dark blue vinyl a little hot to touch?

Great looking boat!!!!

Thanks bud! I'm really excited to get working on the boat. I love the lines and the stance of the Comps. Ha..I knew that was going to come up! Yes, it gets a little hot at times but not when I'm out on the board :)


I'm going to be doing an LED job, transom/platform lights, swapping the storage locker into an 3 in 1 ice chest, storage locker, fat sac holder, adding a tower, speakers, etc. I've got a LIST of projects to perform!

[jet]

You go Boi!! I have a light-bar 4-sale over in the classifieds if you need that too! Nothing but butta at night! Went out tuesday night and we were the only boat out there for 3-hrs :))))))))))

[ATL_Adam]

Fox - In your first picture, just under the rub rail on the far port side there is a little connector. What is it? I cant seem to figure out what it is used for.

-Adam

[foxriverat]

Thats the tag with the hull ID number on it.

[Blackntan90]

I think he is talking about the fuel tank vent?

[Salty87]

fuel vent is below the rub rail?

did you guys notice the teak grab handles on the transom of the newer comp?

[ATL_Adam]

Look back at his first picture...

On the left side of his boat, under the rub rail (almost directly in the back left corner of the boat) there is some sort of little connector that unscrews.

What is it?

Thanks all!

-Adam

[ATL_Adam]

Thats the tag with the hull ID number on it.

No that's on the other side. I'm referring to the port (left) side.

Thoughts?

-Adam

[haugy]

That is the breather vent for the fuel tank. Mine both have had that.

Some of the comps had the breather vent above the rub rail, that was a stainless little vent. This one is designed to prevent water from flowing into it.

[foxriverat]

Yes its the vent for the fuel tank.

[wotan2525]

What's your feeling on the Kicker HLCDs? I'm IN LOVE with mine. I haven't run into anyone that hasn't been blown away by my setup this year. Some guy came up to us on the beach this weekend and was telling my friends (without knowing they were my friends) that he thought my boat had $10k worth of audio in it. Little does he know....

[jet]

Hey docdrs, how much power you running to them (tower only). Jet

[cadunkle]

Sadly I had to leave the lake yesterday and now back to the grind. Definitely got spoiled just having to wake up and walk down the stairs to use the boat, and no tides to deal with for timing those early morning runs. Oh well, I'll be back on the lake next summer. Looking through pictures and found a few my friend took...

Dog was our spotter. Funny as heck when I was riding. Warming up just cutting around she just put her head down and had no interest but as soon as I started hitting it hard and jumping her eyes were glued on me following side to side and would bark when I fell. She earned her keep and ate well for it!

[Blackntan90]

Love the 'Dog as our spotter'! My dog's want me to fall so they can swim!
