Water kinda sucked, little choppy due to some tubers on the other side of the bay... Only skied twice for a total of 20 minutes the entire time we were down there.
Here's my contribution for now. Finished up the Bimini and the new mirror last night. Also I installed a new Pertronix Ignitor II ignition, Flamethrower coil, and distributor cap. Other than a good cleanup, I think I'm ready for summer.

Got the boat out for the first run today....Ran beautifully :D!!!!!!!!!! It was raining on and off but I still managed to get a quick set in. Kids loved it. Don't have any of just the boat on the water yet... but I'll tell you I had to pinch myself when watching it come back to pick me up. (had to remind myself it was mine) lol Looks awesome on the water. Stock wake is really good too! think I nailed the wake plate setting first time off. He's a couple of shots from today, lake was empty and pure butter!
My Little girl loves the boat : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qSI8rtsZug

The new tower is great. I got to use the perfectpass how did I live without it.
Googer its funny to think how close I came to buying your boat. I know you had some sadness when you first got it but your Biggen is looken great!!
Jay so glad to see all the pera-smiles on the old Sunsport. So was there much more power than the Bayliner??? Lol. You and the family will have many hours of fun on your boat... Congrats
That's what it's all about. Family time on the lake. Congrats.
A few from the bay... Love the one with all the Bay Piranna (blue gills) eating the goldfish cracker. To think the water usually is not as cloudy as these pics.
No action shots, but here's one of the boat tied to the dock.

Daff - She still needs a floor and stringers. But I believe she will make it through the season. She has came a long way. I have worked about 40 the last 3 days just trying to get ready for today. My wife is a little picky and wanted everything just right. I would have taken it out without any seats if I had to. It looks pretty good. Saddens me to think it all has to come back out this winter when the stringers get done.
Now I am ready to start dressing up the engine. It seems solid, just want it pretty.
Heres a shot of the interior last night. We are taking friends out today. And it will be my wifes first time out in it. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new chapter in our lifes.

Ummm ya! lol. I love how it turns... at 22 mph on a nice gentle turn it doesn't even lean. I see what you meant that if you'd turn to hard it would throw you. Going to put the dock in today, and maybe take her for another tour. :) I feel like I went from driving a K-car to a Cadillac. :D

We are just south of Columbus. Spent the day at Deer Creek. Doesn't want to run at idle or low speed. It likes to go fast though. It was leaking oil into the bilge. So we stopped once we noticed. I am not sure where it is coming from. Spent a couple hours anchored, chilling. Was nice. I will look tomorrow and see if I can figure out where the oil is coming from. So we didn't get to try out the new wakeboard. Tubed for a little while. Was a good day.

For some reason we only got pics of one of the boys yesterday . . . . Son #2 attempting a Tantrum - he lands the trick about 40% of the time. Can you tell if this is in the 60% or 40%? :p

Woohoo - I finally get to participate in a monthly picture thread! Didn't have time to get the tower mounted since we only had time for a half-day shake down cruise - but the wife, one daughter & friend, and the dog all approved.

clint...I'm going to say he didn't land that one.
mike...awesome...great to see it on the water.
Dude, you gotta go do the rooftop/canopy zip lining. 12 lines of ripping through the rainforest canopy like Tarzan and Jane. Longest line there is 1500 feet long!!! Congrats on 20 years plus the 5 cancer free years. Both of our parents are going strong after 30 years.
Hey Jetlink..what was that thing on your feet in those action shots??
My youngest turned 4 last weekend so we had to celebrate on the boat with some friends. On a side note, I had to give some advice to two boaters last weekend. Both were on their first time out for the season, both had just purchased their boats (used), and both overheated. Always, always, always change out your impeller when taking over ownership! One of the guys was a new Supra owner and explained what he needed to do. Told him about our forum too...hope to see him on. His boat overheated so bad it burned a hole in the wet exhaust hose! He said it only got up 200*. Hope he is lucky!! Anyway, here are some pics!
How old are you today?

She rides once per year, and somehow she managed to basically board slide for a damn mile! When it ended, it was a beautiful face plant!
