Duffy's 2005 24v wakesurfing mod thread.

[duffymahoney]

Here are a few. We were riding fast this day. Somewhere in the 12.5-13 mph range. When we go fast I get more prop wash but the wave is more solid. Airs were good but stupid iphone is tough to capture the highest point.

Duffy hows the boat doing these days? Havent seen ya on WW lately.

[duffymahoney]

Boat is sleeping away the winter in a dry room while we have snow on the ground I try to stay off WW. I get annoyed by people on it. I am planning on doing a new wave flap made out of horse stall mats and might install a malibu surfgate type system. I am also going to cut the cooler pad in half, that way only one person has to get up to get beers out! Other then that the boat should be good to go.

cool. my next flap I'm making is from a landing craft boat..ie vietnam war era rubber ramp. so friggen stiff a cat can't scratch it

[duffymahoney]

3/4 horse stall mats are bullet proof No more weight at the bottom needed as well!!

[MooseX]

where do you get that ****? there's no horses around here...or horse accessories shops

[duffymahoney]

Do you have a tractor supply?

[MooseX]

What's the name of this joint?

[MooseX]

one place is DELTA RUBBER..It's on watson off Glendale. The other is near there..not sure...maybe right on Glendale. The rubber pros at DELTA know where the other spot is cause' that's how I found it. Both have a sh*tload of rubber stuff

[NICKYPOO]

Ha! I knew it. I used to work right around the corner from them. I might have to head down there.

[topaz surfer]

hey guys if you are looking for another place to get the horse mats try Cal Ranch. Thats where I got mine.

[NICKYPOO]

Ya, I went down to Delta and they were in the process of moving and had no scraps. A 24 x 72 chunk of 1/2" double belted (something like that, their thickest, stiffest stuff) was about $75. Not bad. I got a few other projects going on at the moment but, I think can get one together.

What type of parameters are use guys using? I.E. location, length, width?

[duffymahoney]

I did outside the exhaust holes wide and length to match the swim deck while we went. Then cut it so that the mat matches the shape of the transom.
