September Picture Thread

[cadunkle]

Good a time as any to start one... I got nothing exciting so far, but let's see what you guys have been up to this month!

Submarine races:

These folks were doing some kneeboarding, slalom, and footin'. Let me add, after seeing a dude faceplant at 40 MPH I'm certain footers are certifiably insane!

[wspeedin]

You know, I havent been out on the boat in a long time, but I figured I would atleast share my september to remember. Just got back from the 2011 Surf Expo where I met with lots of big names in the industry and got to see all new products!!

syracuse that thing is mint. Mind me asking how much you paid? I would kill for my comp to be in that condition.

[TitanTn]

We went to lake this weekend and saw a beautiful wooden boat being launched. I don't know what kind it was. Very loud and inspiring though.

50 ish Chris Craft, this guy has had that boat completley torn apart and restored. I have had the pleasure of skiing behind it, he is a good friend.

Got anything from the Poker Run weekend Steve?

Unfortunately had to pass this year, I coach Cross Country and we had a meet Saturday.

My brother-in-law went and said the sights were as good as always :p. Mentioned there was a twin turbine boat running 200mph+.

[jet]

KG..know one said anything about your Walrus. lol. Had fun coming up there, thanks for showing us the secret spot. I was also pretty proud of myself, that night we got there i was driving with 6-7 people in my truck and just happen to see a surpa with black wheels out of the corner of my eye..and I said. "Thats Kyle's boat"!! not even knowing you were going to be there. Thats talent! Thanks again, Jet

Just a short, low-res video.... but... I think if you squint you can see the wave. ;)

[Jetlink]

Nice dis-mount at the end... Not too familiar with surfing but the wave looks good to me.

[sybrmike]

Please tell me that's your Salt with the 1500# set-up you've mentioned before... Great clip, wake, 360's, etc. Got any from a higher perspective?

If it gets too cold for you up there soon, you're welcome to come on down & help set mine up (who needs an interior?). We're still bumpin' 100F temps, but you may have to bring a few hundred million gallons of water along with you.

No problem. We had a good time. I'm sure we will do it again.

Yes it is. Actually, I only really have videos from a lower perspective with an almost empty tank of gas.... I'll find a good one and upload that.

[wotan2525]

Here's another quick youtube. This one is actually in HD but not as good of riding as the first one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bDs_UDUfVk

[jet]

My newest setup. 1-new bike and a trailer. Just built the trailer with my son last weekend and then went riding. : ))

Dusty somehow managed to get a crazy good deal at the last second on a great place at broken bow so we loaded up the boats and headed out.

Left off the kiddo pics as most weren't on the water and Dusty has more of the riding pics. Here is what I ended up with ....

Last one, our little group. This was by far our fav. weekend of the summer. SO much fun, the most amazing cabin any of us have ever seen or been to, awesome water...overall completely perfect. We've got round 2 coming up in 2 weeks with a Lakewakes demo!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/dusty2221/DSCN1415.jpg



I know .... Picture overload but oh well.

[chrisk]

Looks like an awesome trip!

Wearing wetsuits in Texas already? What were the temps?

[dusty2221]

Just the tops. Didn't really need them, but when we got there it was pretty overcast and breezy. They came off after the first few runs.

[sybrmike]

Haven't been there in many years, but that's one of my all time favorite lakes. Glad ya'll had a great time.

[Blackntan90]

I love the pic's that show both boats side by side, and the one on the road from the rear! All in all great pic's!

[Syracuse Badger]

Thanks! I picked it up for $4500 with trailer and reg good for 2yrs. I was a bit misled though...She is in excellent condition, but some things were misrepresented. :( Was told the bunks were just redone and find that after my 2nd launch, one has completely ROTTED and the only thing between the metal base it attached to was carpet!!! Thank God I didn't punch a hole in the hull going over some of the rough roads here! I trailered it almost 300mi since I bought her the end of August! The other issue...she shows 200hrs on the clock...but it doesn't work! I would think just from the condition and how tight things are...probably under 400hrs, but no telling. Over rough water she is quiet...no rattles. I used to ski at a professional ski show and the MC's and the Malibus we had after a season of pounding, rattled like marbles in a can! The last thing that should be addressed is the packing around the shaft and the seal on the rudder...they're both leaking. Minor fixes. Mechanically she is mint and water ready with minor things I more want to do than have to do. I want to adjust the carb and probably give it a full tune up and oil change just to start fresh/end the season. I plan on a new head unit and speakers, some LED lighting in cabin, gauges, and transom. I didn't have to, but I just replaced the bilge pump and float so that I know whats in there...cleaned up some wiring, and now need to work on the trailer. Plan on blasting, painting, replacing the bunks, new LED lighting and wheels and new guide post covers. Call me crazy but I think I may do the floor in the next yr just to be proactive. After reading some of the stuff on here about stringers and soaked foam and floor rot...I am nervous! LOL. I do have a soft spot around the access hole to the left of the drivers seat...feels like the plywood is starting to seperate. That's my only "major" concern right now, but to put things in perspective...it's an original '86...its gonna have some flaws. Most 25yr olds I know...they have issues too! LOL! I feel I wouldn't have paid as much, but we're talking maybe $500 difference in price...it's the cleanest boat I looked at and the least expensive too, so I don't feel too bad, just wish people would be honest. As for being here... I am glad I am part of the family!

[Dtha]

Mine's an 86 too and no where near as clean as yours. My floor and stringers are probably rotted, but no signs of stringer rot at the engine mounts so I don't plan on doing it anytime soon. I'm too cheap. Probably keeping the tape on the seats too. No need to spend money when I can surely get another season out of it.

[Okie Boarder]

Awesome pics so far guys. I've been really slacking on posting pics this year. I'll get some up sooner or later...LOL!

[WakeSurfCanada]

I'm thinking its likely going to be one of our last sessions of the year.

No action pic's just some gopro pic's of the crew!

How old's the Vizsla? I've got a 9-year old Weim and I've been thinking of maybe adding a Vizsla to the family.....

Copper is 9 months now. I know anyone who owns a dog will attest to this but. . . Best dog ever! Awesome temperament, loves the water and the boat. Previously had a german shorthair pointer. Very similar energy levels but the Vizsla seems much more concerned with sticking around, even from a young age he has always stayed close. Can't say enough good things about them. I'm sure he would fit right in with your weim. If you have any other questions just shoot me a PM.

Here is a video of us riding last week.

[TitanTn]

Thanks Michael! Lanier looks low. Is it typically that low this time of the year? Boat is looking great.

[michael hunter]

The army corp hes done an exceptional job of draining this year about 10-11' down. Some of the ramps are closed but there is still plenty open . The water is over 100' deep no problem finding good water.

[TitanTn]

Oh man. Sorry to see that. She was such a clean Yukon. Are you going to be looking for something similar or take the opportunity to change up?

[Okie Boarder]

Sorry to hear it but glad the wife is OK. I used to have wheels just like that on my 93 Ranger. That's one of the styles I really like...simple and nice.

[cadunkle]

Damn man, that's a shame. Looked like a clean well taken care of truck. Glad nobody was hurt! Shit happens though, and at the end of the day it's just a truck and can be replaced. Good luck on the hunt for a new truck... Get a Ford!

[Safety Bob]

I would try to fix that truck. I bet that you could get that fixed for under $5,000 if you were to take it to a body shop that would put used panels on it. I have a '97 GMC Suburban with exactly the same front end on it. I would try to find a front end clip, core support, radiator, etc.. and have it all installed and painted (with the parts edged first of course). I would help you with it, but my garage is in Illinois outside of Chicago. Did you find out if the frame was bent? That would be the kicker to determine if the frame would need to be pulled, but even that could be completed by the right guy at the right price. Any chance that the other party was "at fault"? Let me know if you are going to part out the interior. I could possibly use the seats/console, and perhaps the drivetrain. I would get some other estimates as I bet that you could still get that fixed up for a reasonable amount of cash. That is a good truck and looks like it could have a lot of life in it yet!

[TitanTn]

I'm sad for you. It was a beautiful truck with a lot of life left. I hope you were at least able to keep the front license plate!

[csuggs]

Beat. That's sad to see Dan. I used to have a '99 Suburban with the same interior, but different color - damn good truck. And yours was in great shape too. Hey, at least it was your truck and not your boat! Glad your wife is ok too.

[Sluggo]

If they have not picked it up yet, go ahead and swap them out with junk ones. You know they did not add those to the value of the truck when they totaled it out. I had a similiar thing with a camper that I just put all new wheels and tires on. Insurance totaled it so I put the old ones back on and no one knew and or cared.
