Almost everyone that has issues with a boat buddy backs their trailer in TOO FAR. The boat needs to be able to ride up on the bunks so that it raises the nose of the boat to the proper level. You...
Quite a few threads on this, but I thought it would be nice to have a step by step instructional slide show with pictures, so I made one! All inboards will be similar, but in this case, mine is a...
I have a '99 santera. I had custom sacks made for the rear, and I use the integrated bow sack for the front. No, there is no ski locker in a Santera, but it's ok, because the fuel tank is in the bow....
Good info!! I hadn't seen either of those threads. My comparison was actually to simer pumps, not Jabscos. Maybe jabscos are quite a bit faster.
I like those straight through sprinkler valves...
The #2 link you sent appears to go to: http://www.rivalindustry.com/download.htm -- however, that site does not appear to be online any longer.
Rival is out of business. I based my system on...
True that it is two pumps per bag rather than one, but you are also talking about 2 $30 pumps (Tsunami) rather than $183 (Jabsco Ballast Puppy)
Also, as I mentioned, the speed difference is...
I am actually shocked at how well it tows.
My first tow vehicle was a '95 Grand Cherokee V8. I towed a 19' Mastercraft Tristar with it. It had the power, but the braking was so-so and it...
Flexible impeller, reversible pumps are SLOW..... Unless you are REALLY opposed to it, I'd opt for a aerator pump system.
Thanks!
Forgot about this thread... Here is a more recent picture. Tow vehicle and boat graphics have been updated.

I love motorboating.
Wow. I tried to read your post, but your lack of punctuation was making my head hurt.
Instead of reading the rest of it, I just decided to look at this picture in your profile. It was much...
Heh... I ordered Supra graphics at least a month ago and still haven't got them. The good news is, he is REALLY nice when I call!
He claims they have now been shipped, but he thought they...
Here are a couple of options...

I ride at 23.7 set on Perfect Pass (GPS verified). 70 feet of rope. Sometimes 75 if I'm riding well. I'm trying to get to the point where I can go 75 all the time. About 1800 pounds of ballast.
Hey, who is that dude driving the van? He looks familiar....
Yup, no problem. If you wanted to, you could use a 1 1/2" intake instead of the 1 1/4" that I used. That would allow a little more flow. Actually, at this point I really can't remember my...
Almost anything is better than the sprinkler valve system. It is just unreasonably slow.
With the addition of vent lines, yours should be just about perfect.

This thread is in addition to Fman's excellent thread. I have a '99 Santera that came with no ballast system. One of the main differences between the old Santera and the newer 22SSV's is the...
I have a '99 Santera. The hull is identical to the Launch 22SSV. The main differences are the addition of ballast and tower to the SSV. Also, the fuel tank in the Santera is in the front, so there...
Here is mine, by the way. It has a tower, ballast and Perfect Pass now, so it is basically a 22 SSV, which came out in 2000 I believe.
