Congrats!!!!
Thanks, I had sent you a PM before I bought it to try and get your thoughts on this model as I remembered you had one just like it. Agreed on the carpet. Could be a fun photo shoot with the two of these together.Quote:

Is your Supra still "inop" currently?Quote:

Also, love the term Wake Monster. :p
Yes, I remember that day fondly. And I aim to do it again.Quote:

Looking for suggestions on best options. Let me know.
Design your own and get them printed anywhere vinyl graphics are printed. Give me some direction on what you'd like and I can get them designed.
I was hoping there was a better option than vinyl.Quote:

There's always other options, but the question of better is debatable depending on personal requirements.Quote:

(This is a boat forum, not law school btw.)
You know me, I can make my own and have them chromed if it's what I wanted.
You have a 3D printer I can borrow?
Post pics if you have done any custom registration letters for your Supra other than vinyl. I can always default to simple vinyl.
Thanks in advance.
Something smaller? I like the chrome letter look.

Let me rephrase my original answer. Better is a relative term because I don't like thick chrome letters for the registration numbers. But that's me. So if I'm answering the question about something better - for me it's designed vinyl versus a stock vinyl off the shelf.
But if you like it, then I'm on board (hope to be literally this summer!) I don't have a 3D printer but I might be able to get to one. Let me know what you want.
I know you and know chrome raised is not for you and I would despise you if you ever put those on your gorgeous '86 Saltaré.Quote:

Seeing that the sides of this boat have 6 feet of chrome lettering, I was perhaps considering something to accent the logo or make similar in color/ style for consistency sake.
If that doesn't exist, then I can accept vinyl but want to see what's out there before
I make my final decision.

The Knoxville airport always has the latest Malibu wake boat sitting on a tri-axle trailer in the ticket lobby that is done in that color.Quote:

Thanks, we are loving it so far. I'm sure you can ski behind it. Not sure I'd want to if other options are available. I have not tried it yet. It has the pull up pylon in rear if needed. It weighs more than double what a Comp weighs (approx. 4600 lbs vs 2200 lbs) and with the motor in the back, leaves quite a wake.Quote:

Here are some newer pics now. New lift was needed to store at lake and has 6500 lb. capacity.

These pics are without a suck gate. Purchased one before Memorial Day to try it out but suction cups do not like the side of my curved boat.Quote:

oh wow that's pretty good considering no gate of any kind on there. But i'm running basically the same setup as you with 1100's in the rear lockers.
As a side note, with my gate on, I'm putting it basically as far back as I can get it then angling the plate so it creates a bit of list as well. That seemed about to be money with rear sacks full, ~20% up front, no plate, & running that 10.5 or so. I'll try & get a pic next time I go out, but good luck in the mean time!
Thanks for the info. Yup, heard the suck gate is the ticket. I'll find out soon enough. I looked up the Nauticurl. On back order.Quote:

You are just showing off now! Great looking boat!
Congrats on the upgrade.
Haha, it's what I do!! :) Thanks.Quote:

Looks like you got some good length to that wave. What kind of suck gate are you using?
