Hello Guys,

i've got a 1988 Comp TS6M without a wakeplate. We've got some slight issues with porpoising and a little too rough wake for wakeboarding. I want to build a new wakeplate from scratch....

So you would suggest that a change of battery cables could improve the situation? We bought a new solenoid and it doesn't work properly. In another thread I read something about failing of the...

CornRickey can you go into detail? We're experiencing the same symptoms as described above but can't understand why the solenoid should stay shut if there isn't enough amperage.

Engine was put back into place. But not before we had to saw a cutout into our engine bracket. We had a wrong measure on the height of the engine mounting points. Cutout was made and reglassed....

We glued the structure to the hull with construction glue that expands a little bit so we get an even bond.

On to the part where I think we made the most mistakes and our work doesn't seem...

Next we phased the structure where need be and made another test followed by some more adjustments to the structure so that the clearance would be more even throughout the hull.

From the phase of cleaning out the rotten stringers not much is captured. Only the last stage with sanding the scraps of the old stringers. You can see snow in the back, not the best climate for...

Next up: lifting out the engine

The stringers were so rotten we could take some of them out without tools.

Some of the previous owners must have tried to repair the stringers without a rebuild.

Hi Guys,

since we're near the end of our rebuild I want to share our progress with you.

As I told in another thread we bought the boat without checking in here first, so we had no clue to look...

We put in all rivets yesterday but still have quite some gap between top and bottom hull. My partner thinks it's ok but i'm rather doubting the stiffness especially with a big tower on top.

Yes,...

I tried it yesterday and still am frustrated. 0.2 inch distance remains between both parts. Do some of you put some kind of foamed rubber between both parts? It's something my dad suggested yesterday...

You see that the upper and lower hull parts are connected with rivets. We have taken those out for the stringer rebuild and now it seems as if we can't manage to get both parts adjacent so we...

Hello guys,

my first post here so short introduction. I'm from Germany and have a boat in shared ownership with a friend. After a brief journey into wakeboarding with an altered z-drive boat we've...

Hi there,

I would like to start my very own stringer rebuild project. I recently bought a 1988 Comp in quite bad condition. Didn't know where to look for bad spots before buying.
It seems that...
