    Hey andy thanks for all the kind words. Your boat sounds awesome! Wierd that your ski locker seems totally different than mine.

    I have heard of some people putting risers under the swim platform but I don't think it is a problem really.

    If your stock prop is a 13x13 1:1 trans then you want a ACME#913 13x10.5

    My favorite idea of the week is to mimic the Launch and get a hard tank for the rear bench seat to sit on. Brilliant! ...if it is bigger than my current seat sac that is.

    Love the pics but you are gonna need a thread of your own with some BIGGER pics hehe

    i just recently bought a 1989 supra sunsport and am trying to get ideas for the ballast system i want to install... i have already put a decent system in as i have two tower speakers and two 6x9's and a 12'' kicker L7. we primarily surf... i have the non-hydraulic wake plate but i took that off because i think it gives you a slightly bigger wake off and it seemed to take care of some of the propwash we were getting. i have a fiberglas platform which i am going to wrap with jet ski foam and turf so its comfy and dosent tear up my boards. i was wondering if anyone thinks their platforms are really low in the water and hinders the wake...

    my list of things to do...
    -new prop... i had 15 ppl in boat last week and everyone had to go to the front to get the boat on plane but then it ripped once on plane so i know i need a new one.. i live about 15 min from acme so i am probable going to go up there and see what they have to say..

    -ballast... i think i am actually going to take out the backseat and rebuild it into a ballast couch cause i cant stand crap on my floor.. also i pulled my back storage out and there is like a foot between my gas tank and the storage unit so i am going to prolly build something there to if it works out... the front i noticed there is like 5-6 in between the storage box and the side so i wannt come up with some way of stuffing the ballast in there instead of in my life jacket and ankor storage...

    -i am going to put 6 1/2'' speakers in the front above my cup holders and then take my 6x9s out from the spotter seat and instal them towards the rear seat to distribute the sound a little better.

    -buff and partial sticker wrap or just paint it... we will see how the buff job turns out..


    i live 10 minutes from the mighty muskegon river... 15 miles of wakeboarding and wakesurfing glory... flat, wide, and deep...
    This is some good stuff..... Andy welcome to the forum....you definitely gotta upload s'more pic's....and that boat of yours deserves it's own Pride and Joy forsure.....

    I feel ya... this was the first weekend all year that I didn't make it out. Yesterday was spent pulling the engine, fixing it, putting it back in.

    Going to go out surfing right now just to make up for it...... (fingers crossed).... going to stick a 360!

    Yeah this summer has definitely been a let down with the weather so far...Unfortunately my boat has been too...(carb needs work and I'm still having occasional electrical issues, but both of those will hopefully be fixed before this weekend.)

    Congrats on getting engaged man! I would've came out that weekend but I went on a spur of the moment Vegas trip...Haha.

    Anyways if there's room on your (working) boat, I'm always ready for action!

    I will hit you up before this weekend to try and hook up. Sat should be a good hot day near 90!

    I dare say the boat is running pretty good lately. She runs like a champ even when fully weighted for wakeboarding. Surf wave is great pretty much dialed in. Fun to take movies with the still cam. My girlie stomped 3 or 4 wake to wakes last time out. I was not getting the tantrum, doing my old bad habit of 'over-tripping' or trying too hard to switch edges. But the wake was big! Stupid camera died though grrrrrrrr. Few other buddies are starting to get wake to wakes, 1w half cabs, 1w 180s down so getting fun to watch them progress.

    Well wekkend is drawing to a close. Saturday was supossed to be awesome, ended up being an afternoon window of sun. Then at night severe storms. Sunday was cloudy till noon then 80 alllll day it was pretty nice.

    On Sat I boarded. First I was trying tants and getting nowhere. Then had a nice run where I landed two backrolls, then tried the tant again. I got kind of fakie in the air and came down way wrong. I kind of landed on the board, but it was not happening and the board popped out from underneith me. Felt a pain in my knee and it went numb from knee down. Really worried.

    But today it was okay and I was able to surf on it with no pain. Will stay away from the wakeboard for a week or so. Lucky it was not worse. The whole thing it on video, although my camerman was NOT very steady bast!

    Boat is running great. Lots of power. Makes me teary eyed just thinking of it. Will post asap.
