the weather has been nice and was finally able to get the boat out of storage!! Of course the weather had to turn to crap....

Anyone in the Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho area deal with any upholstery shops? I can do the work myself but I need some good material and would like to find material that matches or closely matches the current color as I plan to replace one cushion at a time (starting with one the desperately needs attention.)

Also, can a prop puller be rented out or do I have to just take it to a shop to pull it? I know i can but one but would like to dump the money into other things that need work.

Thanks! Looking forward to a great summer!

I noticed your from or boat on Newman Lake, that's a nice spot, I was there twice last year. I usually go out on Hayden or twin, and it the weather is nice sometimes CDA. We'll have to get an INW get together sometime, maybe up at sand point so we can check out Duffy's latest creation.

I made my own prop puller out of a c clamp. Just grind off most of the cast end till it matches your prop shaft dia. Then back off the prop nut almost the hole way use your c clamp tighten it down and hit the c clamp with a dead blow hmer and off pops the prop

Hopps- do you have issues with the boards dripping water into the boat when you put them on those racks after use? Also did that Bimini come for samson? Thanks! BTW it is suppose to be 80+ this weekend on this side of the mountains.....can't wait!

Hey Todd, sadly our boards will not fit in these. Our buddy's wakeboard fit fine and don't recall any issues with water dripping in. We need to find a new set to replace these so we can hang our boards.

If my memory serves me correctly, the bimini did not come from Samson. I believe it was a company out of Idaho who also made the boat cover. This was all done by the previous owner. Next weekend when I uncover the boat, I will look at the tag again and see where it came from.

Hey EWOK, yeah boated a few times on Newman Last year when we got the boat. It isn't our first choice but we have been given free mooring at a dock there this year so will probably spend some time there but would love to meet up with local Tige owners and do some boating. I will check into Jacobs and see what they can do for me.

Thanks!
