**Edit: Found the pic's of the boat on N3 Boatworks website, that thing is unreal. That is defiantly taking it to the next level with the black interior, I'm making due with my previous interior for now (White) and will have to re-evaluate once I have some more cashflow lol**
All the banter about a black boat is pretty funny though. Yes I know its gonna be hot, but it's also not going to be like any other boat on the water!
Thanks for the replies guys, hoping to have it in for a water test within the next couple of weeks.

Unreal, love the blk cleats.....can't wait to see more...
Well as we have seen many times before on rebuilds seem to take longer than you ever would have expected. Mine seems to fit right into place with the rest of them.
That being said, motor is in, most wiring has been done, I just finished putting some epoxy bottom paint on and I can see the end in sight!
Don't have any pic's but will get some up tomorrow, made a cool switch and gauge panel to replace the outdated vinyl wrapped on that was in previous.
Also made a polished aluminum plat to mount the throttle as I did not want to use the interior panel it was origionally mounted to.
Just received a giant box of goodies from SKIDIM, seemingly the last pieces of the puzzle to get this beast on the lake.
My biggest nemesis lately is that I live a block from the lake and all my neighbors and friends are consistently inviting me out on their boats. As many of you can understand I would much rather be out on the lake than baking in my own boat in the driveway. So the next due date to have it in the water is this coming weekend. Will it happen? I sure hope so, I need to expend some energy behind a boat not just bake in the sun all day lol
Stay tuned for more pic's tomorrow
Cheers,

Wow, Looks awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product! Been riding a bunch, would love to come for a rip when you get it on the water!
Well as boat was in the water briefly (all of 15 minutes) before I realized I had no drive line functionality.
But man does it look AWESOME!
Found out in indexed the pump on the transmission for the wrong engine rotation, so a quick re and re on the tranny (about 1.5 hrs total) and I'm back in action. Just working on wiring up the stereo and some other electrical things. Should be boarding and surfing this weekend (weather permitting)
Here's some pics more to come. . .
Very cool! Looks good...great to see her on the water!
Sorry guys, no pic's as of lately. Have been to busy out boarding and surfing behind this beauty!
I can say that I am really happy with how everything has turned out, stereo rocks! Perko switch and Surpower have yet to leave me with a dead battery and I am slowly but surely getting the wake dialed!
Just finished rebuilding my rear seat base to accommodate a 550lb fat sac, I will update with some pic's once in!
will defiantly be looking into some upgrades over the winter when it is back out of the water.
In the meantime, I'm hoping I can get out of work a little bit early this morning and get a good session in the evening!
Cheers,

WakeSurfCanada, looks awesome so far! I'm real interested to see your modified rear seat base. I had quite a few problems with mine holding a sac this summer so I'm considering rebuilding it completely.
Hey Guys,
I'm the other owner of the destroyer. Here are some pictures from the summer so far. We're extremely happy with the outcome and the new tower and speaker/light combo that we got for the vessel. The LED's are amazing and offer so much candle power out on the open water when the suns down. I'd personally love to get some facing the back as well.
Its taken a number of passes to get the fat sac positioning tuned in but I think we've dialed in a pretty amazing surf wake. I'm going to try and make some weight placement diagrams when I have a second but maybe we could share with other sunsport owners and see what they're doing.
There will be lots of little additions to the boat for next year but we're really happy Supra owners and the overhaul has been a challenging and rewarding experience. Thanks to guys like you on Supraboats we were even able to get the knowledge and know how to pull off the rebuild. It was definitely an experience and nothing beats the joy of surfing and wakeboarding on your custom boat with your best friends on a hot summer day.
We've got lots of surf action footage and will try to share it when we have time! This thing looks unreal on the water.
Till next year! Destroyin' since '85!
A little wakesurf edit one of my buddies threw together
Enjoy

Pulled the boat out of storage yesterday, wont be long till were out on the lake now!!!
Cool video, cool playlist and cool boat. Is there only the 550lbs fat sac in the boat or other extra weight ?
Thanks SDC77
good questions I believe its about 1800lbs (Mostly hidden)
550 Under Rear Bench
370 Tube sac in ski locker
400 Beside Doghouse
400 Under Playpen
Works pretty good! Planning on adding a Wake Plate before she goes in the water, hoping this will clean up the prop wash and make the pocket a bit bigger!
That's heavy load ! Thanks for the information ;)
That's what she said! hahaQuote:

Once the sun is shining let me know, would be happy to have you out on the boat!
no prob, what you've done looks amazing.......
Lookin great, your weighting is pretty much same as ours. I find its easier to drop off the swim platform at near idle speed :p Nice vid and editing
Thanks Mikey!Quote:

I think that's my next purchase!
Launching off the swim platform defiantly is a bit tricky. I found on friends boats with larger swim platform much easier. I'm sure it will come with time
If he comes...I'm coming with!Quote:

Mine came with an aftermarket Bennett brand hydrolic trim tab :)
Do you keep your bow weight centered or do you move it to the side your wave is on?? I find that helps too.
Well now that I have been out on the water a few times, I figured it was time to add some pics of the upgrades that have happened so far this year!
New Grant GT Steeringwheel free from a good friend
New Floor! Used the 1/2" interlocking foam, 2 packs from costco about $30, easily the best mode thus far, and its damn comfy on the feet!
2 X transom remotes - 1 Facing down for control from the water, 1 - facing up for control while sitting on the boat getting your board on!
BoardRacks - for my Roswell tower, found em at a local dealer that was blwoing em out for $50 for 2 sets!!
New 20" Wheels on the tow rig! Love the stance it gives the jeep, haven't towed with them yet, so waiting to see how that goes.
Upcoming:
ACME 913 (13 x 10.5) - en route, this should help getting out of the hole with a bunch of ballast!
Trim tabs/Wake Plate - going to pick up a used set tonight, hopefully will get installed at the same time as the new prop!
Digital Tach - Will hopefully help dial in out speed/wake a bit better GPS speedo on the portable nav leaves a bit to be desired!
iPod dock - Have on that needs to be mounted, hanging it behind the deck is getting a little tiresome
Looking forward to the rest of the summer!!
