Holy Cow I'm hooked!!

So I'm a boardsports guy, been doing a couple most of my life...
I've prolly wakeboarded 2 or 3 times a summer for ten years, I think it started with the oh so hot Skurfer.....
So today, for the first time, I'M GOING TO TRY NOT TO YELL I'M SO EXCITED, I rode 4 times behind my own boat thAT I own, with my wife driving, and dialed in little method's, FS 180's, half-cab's, silly shifty action, Indy grabs with a mellow tweak and I can't tell you how great I feel.
My wife got up fourth try, she's never ridden!
No tower yet or ballast but with the right pump I'm out in the flats and the wakes not so big, I can hit it full speed comfortably, last year behind my buddies MC, this was intimidating...
My wife's first time driving with a rider...took a bit, but she got it...How hot is your lady with her hand on the throttle, look'in in the rear view?

Adding weight today, steel, concrete whateva fits.....

Maple it gets even better bro. My wife backs the trailer to launch and retrieve when we are out. The doods at the boat ramp are slack jaw and drooling. Nothing better than a hot AZZ chick stabbing the trailer first try like she owns the F'n place. We have it down to about 3 mins now. She even asked a guy once if he needed help! Bwhaaaaaaaaaaa lol

That's how we dropped in yesterday I drove off the trailer, she bounced in the truck, met her back at the cottage, 3-4 minutes tops......

Funny - around here - the women back the trailers (except for me!) and the men
drive on.

Watching many (not all) of these ladies try to back is sometimes hilarious, sometimes
frustrating.

My wife is an EXPERT at putting the boat on the trailer - that is what gets
the looks around my neck of the woods - it's usually the men, screaming from
the boat that the wife didn't put the trailer in properly, as they make 6 tries to load.

My wife (99% of the time ) drives right on, the boat buddy clicks - and off we go.

Gotta love a system that works - and gets looks from all around, no matter who
does which part!

That's how it is here too. Wife has 21 years experience loading the boat. I drove a box truck for 12 years. Backing with mirrors only no problem. Takes less than 3 min on of off.
New boat a little different but not much longer.

Love to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For now I would just weight the back, don't bother with the bow. If the boat struggles to get on plane, put a little something up there.

If you unscrew the rear bench seat, just the seat part, it will lift right up and hinge back over the sun deck. There is some empty space between the bench seat base and the gas tank, if you have some flat weights.

Already done, patio stones fit perfect, under my bench and I HAVE OLD RAILway plates 25lb each inthe back locker....
Prolly like 300 lbs total, waiting for the north wind to die down, I'm expecting wake improvement....
Shouldn't be a problem getting on plane, I hit the throttle so hard last night wife got airborne to faceplant first time up....this thing pulls like crazy.....gonna try 4 dood's when my brother gets here......
Gonna surf mon. at 12 mph the wake looks awesome, couple more guys should make it even better, my wake plates gonna be up for a while!!!!!
