You might want to try Indoor/Outdoor fabric. My mom use to work for Calico Corners (they are expensive) but she used this stuff for indoor use and outdoor use. She even said that it might be good for the boat...... Check it out....

What do you mean by indoor out door fabric? Replace the vinyl with it? Where can I find it? Will it match up to what I already have?

[anhaney]

oh i hear that. i'm down with fishing but those guys do go off. i'm even super careful to stay away and not send rollers or jam out. i see their side though. was out a couple days ago and a nautique flew past blairing rap bump bump bump explicit explicit explicit and of course the kid riding busts it right in front of everyone. they power turn send out mad rollers and it goes on...

Last Friday I was going where we always start to board from and my wife was behind boarding. An older Malibu was to my right and they had there rope streched out to the left and another boat was racing and not paying attention to the fact that I was pulling someone. The Malibu guys would not pull in there rope and I had no option except to shut it all down before I ran over a rope or ran into another boat. So when the BU pulled in the rope. Well I was not nice. 24V TAPS at 8 with Ballast and I power turned around there little low profile BU. Man were they mad and I drove a complete circle around them to pick up my wife. I just looked at them and let them yell. Told them I was sorry for sending them such big rollers but I was not about to leave my wife sitting in a dangerous spot. I bet next time they pull in there rope and give way to others pulling skiers or boarders. Not to mention they were wake skating with out a life jacket. And my wife made things a little worse and asked the guy in the water close to here where his life jacket was. I just gave here the rope back and off we went. At least we said sorry

Yes, replace what you have is what I am suggesting. There are ALOT of different styles to choose from. They range from solid colors to flowers to printed boats I would think. You can find it at Specialty Trim & Awning, Inc. 631 California Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93304-1611 Phone No: 661.322.7360. The material that they sell is: http://www.sunbrella.com/na/en/marine.pl.

Now, I don't know if I would go all out and do the whole boat until I see what the stuff can do but my mother said it works great...

Good job, I don't think I could have done it better... Well, I do need a ballast system in my boat to do half of what you did.

the lake he is in, your boat would kick up as big a wake as his does since it's so shallow, so you would be ok. You could still rock their world! Just do a slow turn, that kicks up more wake anyway

Sorry you had a bad time anhaney, Glad your wife is ok.

[da.bell]

Doms, he has a 24V with a bigger engine along with ballasts when he did this. I'm still not there from what I can figure out but I'm also not that concerned either. The TAPS at 8 with to ballast would have been enough for anhaney anyways......

It was actually funny. I felt for them because they did not know how to use words other than F***you, A**H*** ECT, ECT. Even though I used full power to turn I was only going about 10 -15 MPH because I started from a full stop. The roller were quite large for 8.5 feet of water. . okay I am in Denver so I have to go to work now. You won't hear from me until tonight. Have a great day.

Hey Razzman, I didnt know you were from around here, Pedro is my home lake also, my first trip out was friday, not to Pedro, turlock lake, only because I was pullin a bunch of kids for a school picnic. turlock works for that with all the grass, and beach. white caps were whippin up big time. still had a blast. any day on the water, beats workin'.

[Jetrey]

Hey Razzman, this post ended up somewhere else, dont know how. anyway didnt know you were from the area? Pedro is my home lake also. went out friday for first trip out. turlock lake, not my choice. drove for a bunch of highschoolers for their school picnic. turlock works for that. water was rough, still had a blast. any day on the water beats workin.

ha ha ha,

Yeah I have been on anhaney's boat. It's a nice ride! I like my wake shape better, but have yet to see the full potential in a lake, and not a pond like we have been in!

jetrey update your profile under user CP. You can put where you are from. Are you from CA? If you are from around the Fresno are you should come on June 3rd to lake Lopez so far not to many people are coming. Don't know why? That is the best weekend to be there. Right before school is out so everyone is waiting for the next weekend to go.

[Razzman]

Jetrey, yeah i'm from around here, Modesto to be exact. Never been on Turlock, took one look at once and wasn't to impressed so i just bypass Turlock & Modesto Res and head to Pedro or Hogan, both have good water.

Anhaney, I can't make Lopez due to my nieces hs graduation. If i didn't go then there'd be hell to pay!

Graduation, I can understand my son graduates on the 31st. That is just not something you miss. His is only Jr.HS though. Have fun with it and we will catch you on the next trip.
