First time on the water last night...testing, running the motor, trying out the ballast...a beautiful evening.

You guys have some nice wide open rivers and lakes, do they get blown out during the day?
We've got some canyon walls on some of the lakes that will shield from the wind, but there's usually an unrideable time from 12-4 no matter what. A couple small secret spots, but if you get a few boats there it's done-for.
Nice little upgrade this summer......

Test fit this evening (don't mind the red strap, I tied the tower up to the garage ceiling to clean the boat carpet)
((Look at that bow vinyl sparkling like new))

I think i'll have to give myself the rest of the week off to get these Wetsounds icon8's and a SYN2 installed....... :) I'm expecting another package from Earmark tomorrow with the remainder of the installation accessories, then I'll be all set until Wetsounds announces something new later this month.... http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4...smiliewink.jpg
Nice! Very interested in those icon 8's. Hoping someone near me will get some for me to hear. What's the end of the month announcement? New XXX12 or 8" in-boats?
bout time you put that thing to use! I better see it in action in Hudson and if possible I would like the 1st shot out of it ;)

Worked on my trailer Friday night and all of Saturday. Here are some before and after pics.
This is how the boat sat on the trailer when I bought it.

Boat sitting nicely now. Prop guard works well.

We finally got out for the first time this year. Being on the water on Saturday was the most relaxed I have been in probably a year. We had great conditions during the day and would go about 30 minutes in-between seeing another boat. I only got one picture of the lake and then one on the drive home. Crazy that we drove through a snow storm.Attachment 9775Attachment 9776
OK, I want pic's of you pulling your boat off and sitting it on the ground. Im scared to do this but need to.
Trailer looks much more comfy now, I bet she swung around pretty good on the highway with the before setup.... Love the color match too...
Jet... I did it..not that bad just a little nerve racking, can't you dock it on the desert for a week??? lol
Mapleleaf--I really didn't notice the swinging on the highway before, but have to admit she is noticably more stable now. I have plenty of tongue weight, too. Can't pick it up like before which is a good thing.
Jet--I was fortunate to keep my boat at a friend's cottage while working on the trailer. Maybe that is an option for you? Boat sat on the water for 1 week while I fixed it up. Just made sure my automatic bilge was working!
Uh yeah, might as well lay across the bow in a thong bikini...... :D:DQuote:

Kev, who makes that tower? Never seen it and its a great fit for your SS... Love the grey to Btw.....
LMAO! They don't call me margarita boy for nothing! I think I needed to go with pouty lips to seal the deal. Maybe I was just chafing from all the sand in my...ummm...Quote:

Let's just say that I hope I don't have to do it again anytime soon. That's the second 20+ft trailer I've done and they are not fun! I hope the paint holds. Tried something different. Bought a quart of tracter implement paint. I figure that has to be some tough stuff...only time will tell.Quote:

The mod'd mastercraft tower is great, I agree folding would be good, but fit is right....sooo cool...
Nerve racking, isn't it?Quote:

You've got to love how big this wake is compared to me, lol.

That wake looks awesome... How much ballast was in it?you ever tried an air chair? I love the look your giving the wake... :)
factory ballast in the 230 completely full. I havent tried an airchair becasue it wont work for me. You have to be able to have core strength when using hydrofoils. I have no core strength or control so its out of the question. however, I have thought about mounting my cage to the hydrofoil but its too expensive for a "maybe". lol
that would be cool.... there always has to be a first! :).... Don't think it would be my thing. What board are you riding? Is it custom or just a regular on and you put the cage on?
Props by the way for enjoying life to the full... I know lots who don't.
yeah its a regular wakeboard. These photos are actually of me riding Dean Smith's board which is the Ronix Mana. The cage is custom made to fit me perfectly and then it can mount to any wakeboard.
Thanks man! I try to keep living my life no matter the obstacles put forth.
Cool pics! I think the foil would work mounted to a wakeboard. Check out Laird Hamiltons big-wave foil surfing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDt-T1KEOgY
