Go to YouTube and search for Extreme Watersking on HO. This video rocks. Don't need a big wake or even a wakeboard!

Looks like you got yourself a killer boat...I live down in Birmingham and go up to Florence area every once in a while to visit the GF's family.

would like to metion how much i hate winter and working 10 hour days. but on a happy note GF got me a sweet Hyperlite lifejacket and some speakers for the boat, Kicker 6.5s and a 10, yea she's a keeper. Plus her parents run a sign shop and can make my supra stickers for the boat, HELLS YEAH!

btw whats the best bilge pump to replace the one in my sunsport? want an automatic one please

[87SunSportMikeyD]

Haha awesome!!! I got a wetsuit myself, havent had one in years, I am stoked! As for the bilge pump check SkiDIM.com, that's where I got my new one.

To make it automatic there are two ways. One is a 'float switch' which you screw into the floor of the bilge and the switch floats so when water rises the switch moves vertically (floats) and activates the pump.

I use this when I go camping and leave the boat in the water overnight. Only thing is you have to leave the power on or else wire the pump direct to your battery. Some people dont like these float switches because debris can prevent the float switch from 'floating'.

There is also an electrical current sensor that is more accurate but it's a couple hundo $$ and the float switch is only like $10.

How did you find the boat? I've been looking for a Sunsport for a while. If I had seen that boat I would have hauled ass to get it.

Congrats on the new ride, very nice. I hope I'll see it out on Wilson Lake when I visit my home town next summer.

Mikey..I just installed my float switch too, last Nov. I installed it to high though..need to lower it now. Be sure and install it as low as you can. I cant believe I over looked that for so long..pushing that manual button every 10mins for 10 years now. lol. I guess if Its not shinny or makes it go faster or louder we tend to over look it.

Now every time I hear the auto bilge I turn off the music and make every one be quiet and go 'shhh shh shh..... what's that noise? Boat taking a pee? OH YEAH AUTOBILGE WHO IS PIMPIN NOW!'

[jsandy]

was looking at a Rule 750 that said it had an enternal switch. any good?

[jet]

I don't think that a 750 gpm is enough. Once I dropped my boat in the water, went and parked the jeep came back and started the boat checked the eng and saw the bottom of the boat was FULL of water. I forgot to put the plug in. So I put the plug in drove over to my friends lake house and beached it, turned on the 750 bilge and it drained for 2 hrs!! After that weekend..I went to a 1100 gpm bilge. Just think if a fat sac ever broke in the boat you want as much gpm's as you can get. You can by a 1100 rule for $40 bucks at your local shop. Get one!! Jet
