i am 6'4" and about 200lbs. i would be the the biggest in the crew. the others are about 6' and 150 160 and the chicks are 5' to 5'6" and 100 110. i am lookin from floor to rope tying point and where to put the rope tying point from bow to stern. yes the prop the was stock was a 13 13 lh 1" bore 3 blade. i am going to make my own tank for the bow out of aluminum. its going to be 18" wide in the front of the bow, 48" wide in the back, and 30" from bow to stern and 11" high in the front tall and 13" in the back tall. i am going to weld a divider from the bow to stern right in the middle so i can load either side or fill the whole thing totally. so you said i need another 750lb sac in the back between the seat and motor box? or the side of the box? dont you load only one side with weight? i guess i dont follow? with the smaller prop the rpm s would be ok with a perfect pass or no? what does regular or goofy have as far as loading the weight? thanks again

hey man, i know u have been busy defending yourself on here, but i feel you are a huge asset to this forum. could you get back to me on my previous pm please.

hey man, finally figured out how to do pics on here. i could not find the measurements on the monster tower. what is the best prop for everything? wakeboarding, surfin and kneeboarding? where can i get a shaft for her? i have figured out the tanks i will make for ballast , gonna have about 625 in the back (under the seat) and 425 in the front under the pen. sound good? will i need more to surf? i have never been on a boat thats done surfin. have no idea on a board or where to even start? your boat is awesome? you have so much done to it. mine will hopefully be close to yours by the early spring. i got a sweet paint job thought up and am going to build a tower with a little from a few towers i have seen. it will be one of a kind for sure. the boat will be like brand new when i am done and crazy. thanks man for the help!!!

I uploaded some new blink photos to my pride & joy thread "bought it"... let me know what you think, 'eh?!

uh uh check back to '85 sunsport coolest remake ever....... I think I read about Mikey wanting to do some wrap design... I want something verysimilar to those palm trees, maybe if I sent you a picture of a costa rican shore line, we could sort something out for a 1/4 wrap starting at my transom and heading to the bow....?????

ok really abouty this in house design....I have have some ideas, can't draw for sh*T........

Hey here's the link, it looks good.....haven't heard from them yet, and am probably jumping the gun, lets hope my wife doesn't find out!!!!!

hey man, i just had a 1984 supra rider given to me a week ago. i am new to this forum bit so please bear with me. the boat is in very rough shape! the whole interior is shot. floor is rotted and stringers are bad along with the motor mounts. motor runs great and hull is good! i am a welder by trade and i have a buddy who does upholstry. not a big deal. i was wondering about building my own ballast tanks since it would be easy and cheap for me. my problem is i am new to the wakeboarding scene and dont know much about what would be a good set up for this boat since i need to rebuild the whole thing now is the time to plan and attack! i was asking for advice please. also i can make my own tower but need measurements from floor to top and such? i have so many questions thanks for the time brandon(bones)

Yeah yeah, if I drive an hour south to Ludington, MI and hop on the over night SS Badger to Manitowoc, WI I can prolly be up in MN by 1 or 2 in the aft....Just a thought, if I go back in the fall I'm going to push for it....Neeed to do some riding with you guys......you're having too much fun.....

How late in the year do you ride??? Prolly bcak in Northern MI in late sept....early oct....thinking I might have to redeem my surf camp tickets!!!!!MN 's like a half day drive w/ the ferry to Manitowoc, WI !!!!!
