Sorry didnt read that you already got a prop
Mikey, you been busy!!! Everything looks good, your experience on the water should be elevated this summer.........
LED pic's......... I'm kinda getting hooked on those things, gotta get some......
Hey Jason thanks for the offer. I would post it up on wakeworld and ski-it-again.com those are really popular places to look for props.
Hey Maple! Yeah I've been trying to work one day every weekend that it is nice out. Of course by working I mean having a buddy over, drinking beers and listening to the stereo while we work. My Dad is an invaluable help too since he rocks with the 351.
The LED's are cheap and easy which is why I decided to try a few. Maybe we'll add more later who knows. Not as young as I used to be so we don't go out at night as much anymore and if we do sometimes we like the pontoon.
Here come some more pics!
In the first pic you can see the red LED's near the top of the picture. You can also see the condition of my interior teak strips and the rusted screws. Sand meeeeeee it says to me. Speakers are out to run the LED power wire. Had to buy thin profile speakers to fit the depth of gunwale space in rear of boat as it narrows.

2nd pic we are measuring the FAE supports that get attached to the teak. Larry from FAE said because the SupraTraps are so far apart, this is the largest FAE he has made. He had to put on extra supports too!

What's that? Nothing to say? Blown away? Speechless? Well then I'll just have to add a few more pics! BAM!
Stereo during install. The sub grill is super ghey I know. It was free. It also rattles when I turn up the bass so it has to go. Also my new boardshorts from Reef.

KMT are hung and wired. This is how I wired to get mono in series. The wires will all be hidden this weekend.

Lookin' good!
I've been following alot of your posts here and elsewhere when I do searches. I'm boatless but I've switched my future purchase from an 80's 2001 Ski Naut to Supra Sunsports because of the info you've shared as well as others here. Great progress, I'm so jealous and boatless not much longer. I'm in Orlando, so if anyone sees something I should have, give me shout out. I saw the one for 5000 in Melbourne and if I had cash right now I'd probably pull the trigger. Soon, very soon.
That boat is gonna be bassin. I want to add a Karaoke deck with a monitor on the tower of mine when I get it. Sinatra on the Ski locker. You can't ride all day right? haha
Damn Mikey looks like Santa dropped by your boat!!!!
Can we talk about the caulking around your wake plate?? LOL nah lets skip to that sweet new prop! The FAE looks amazing, as well as the hanging job, I don't know if black was your only option, but it's definately the right choice...
Those shorts look like a 34, I'll send you my address, I know you forgot my birthday!!!!!!
When I get back from Mich. the next day I get the boat home, trailer's ready and so am I!!!!!!
I heard loud music fly by my house yesterday, and I coulda sworn I saw the back of a Sunsport down the road!!!!!!
Had to edit this for the subcover....is it a spinner?
Thanks guys!
Mach- Thanks, I think SunSports are really starting to get more popular. Keep searching. $5k is a great price. A loan for $5k is pretty cheap like $50-70 a month +insurance. You should be able to add a mic into any equalizer if you can get it to run to RCA plugs.
Maple- Thanks yeah she's really coming together now! I passed off the mirror as a safety item. :D No jokes about caulk, now... Prev owner couldn't find the leak; it was the rudder, silly. I can't wait to try the new prop I am imagining more power and a boat so quiet I forget it is on! FAE can be chrome or black. Easy choice for me.
Sorry the shorts are a 32 but get this - I emailed a company to tell them my opinions and they sent me a box of clothes to 'test' hahaha crazy huh! Yeah the sub cover is a spinner they give them away for free at millionbuy when you buy a sub (mine was only $35 it's not Wetsounds but it hits enough for me). UNfortunatly when you crank the bass the grill rattles. The spinner is powered through the speaker wires and it spins. :) :)
The teak deck got sanded last fall, and got one coat of sealant from Starbright. It needs several new coats which I gotta get goin on! I think I will do the interior trim sometime too.

Here you can see the quick-connect before we drilled the through-hull. It looks awesome finished, gotta get that pic this weekend. I bought a bigger cupholder to hold larger coozies and larger beer bottles.

My ballast system needs some work too! Gotta hook up this switch. I think I'm gonna try and get the overflows done sometime soon too. Time to look for parts! Black plastic or chrome, hmmm....

I must bow before thee..... Yours is not just a wake boat--NO! It is rather a wake-playing--dare-deviling--surfing--master-of-gadgetry--mad-skilling machine!!!!
Seriously though, i admire your work.:cool:
