    My re-worked 24v swim deck

    chopped



    I cut down the braces an inch and rounded the edges to really streamline the corners.

    We used a 6 foot straight edge that we 'bowed' to get the outside curve.

    Edges were all routered at a nice 1/4 round' 45 degrees. Looks cool with the exposed lighter shade teac edges. We sanded the lower boards to match the new edge...bam

    lots and lots of sanding with different grits'

    Used a stiff brush to bring out the grain

    Compressed air,,,and

    liberal use of teak oil..I rubbed it forever and it dried in a super heated room for a week

    the bottom looks as good as the top..well almost

    Main brace I had painted and baked at my buddies shop. It's pimp semi gloss black and should hold up

    It's nicer than any piece of furniture I own or have owned

      thanks. I must say once it was on the boat it sure did shrink haha. The deck is now more like a ledge.

      It's a big rush to get stuff done. I got the ballast project done today..new prop today and tommorow the FAE should be done. Now if I can only get SIRIUS to reactivate my account. Those f*ckers put me on hold for 48 minutes then got cut off.

      I got 2 new boards too. I got a Grindwater Shapiro Ginzu 5'0" and a Liquid Force Noserider 5'2".

        I have XM on our boat and we listen to it more than any of the ipods on board! It's really great when college football starts up and we are still on the lake.

          oh yeah. we listen to the giants...the world friggen' champion giants boo yah!! The girl is flipped on them like you wouldnt believe. Every time someone hits a HR I get a friggen text haha. I was born a giants fan..Willie(s) and all but she's wack haha

          yep I got 1500 + songs on my 64 i touch and believe it or not I'm over em' haha.

          I have to have satellite radio. If someone brings their own i pod fine...or a disc... but I'm waaay behind on updating my ipod so it's staying in the car.

          Siruis wants a 12 digit number off the back of the radio and all my clarion has is a 9 digit. I keep getting transfered to some other stooge. Once to an Indian guy...damn it was like talking to a 5 year old kid. Every other time I couldnt' understand his words and vice versa.

          2 days running on hold. Once for 48 min haha while I was being transfered to a Marine Radio specialist..finally I hung up

          I'm afraid to call again

            Sirius sucks! I dropped them instantly once I found Pandora.

            $0.99/month if needed vs. $9.00/month for radio you can't customize...

            Uh oh - did we get off topic? sorry
            Waiting for another good one!

              Pandora is my favorite thing ever, but it has terrible audio quality. Sounds fine in my truck, but put 4 amps and 14 speakers behind it and it doesn't work. Even on high setting on my iphone. That being said I do love sirius- xm for content. They do a great job and it works anywhere, lots of places we surf don't get cell signals. Moose if the deck is too slippery, try only using 150 grit on the top. Teak can get nasty slick if left in the water too long.

                You have to make sure you turn off the EQ in your iPhone. Switch to "flat"

                It sounds great in my boat.

                  Duffy thanks...yeah we stopped short of 'shiny'.It still has some decent grip

                  Pandora is great on my computer/phone...but we have sketchy reception in the mountains. Especially the west end of the lake and that's where alot of the calm water is, I'll still give Pandora a shot though....keep my options open and all

                  Sirius dammit is the only choice really. I'm gonna give it one more shot and demand to talk to a supe' or some kind of manager

                    Nice work moose. Looks awesome.

                    Now that we have some sun, you can invite me out. I've got 8900+ songs on my Ipod.

                    Seriously though, would love to see how it all comes together one of these day. My boy up there thinks he has the best surf wake on the lake. I keep telling him it needs some work. Can you please show him he is wrong?
                    You'll get your chance, smart guy.

                        I will try pandora on flat, I had my eq off. I have tried everything and pandora always sounds pretty bad.

                          damn nicky 8900 songs that's crazy talk . I wish. Yeah finally the damn sun shows up. I'm behind. The snow set me back...way back.

                          I'm supposed to have the boat ready tommorow...too much pressure and I' still have to go through that inspection crap + pay for the bouy + find my kayak someone 'borrowed' (I need it to get out to the bouy)..too much pressure...................

                          Who knows how good my wake will be. I'll keep trying till I get it right. I just bought another 150 brick. Probably pin that one to the deck

                          Too bad I have to work today or I'd be on the lake for a test. I'm still dickin around so I gotta motivate and get out to the job site pronto.
