Off Season Upgrades

[TRD]

I don't like the idea of putting weight up front, but I know this will help my wake. I have the droop nose and it sits about 12" off the water at normal. If someone sits up there I must be very carefull not to bury the nose. Chptril showed me some driving tips that really helps not to take water over the nose but if the lake is crowded, it will probably happen anyway.

I forgot to add, the boat is getting a full complement of blue LED's real soon.

23 so far

I have been thinking this also. Where are you getting your LED's?

I don't put weight up front, I just adjust the taps, and can tell the difference by doing so.

Ive looked at some blue ones from www.superbrightleds.com, but spharis gets a lot of stuff from www.mouser.com, says they're cheaper. There site is hard to navigate unless you are an electrical engineer and can decipher all the technical data on LED's I did a comparison of some blue LED's with the same spec's, and superbright was cheaper. No big deal, LEDS are cheap any way. If was buying by the gross, I would probably shop around more

It's real simple. As your boat is about to come off plan and the bow drop down towards the water, back it off into neutral, turn your wheel to the right and bump the throttle into lock forward (idle). Your wake will pass you by and as it does so spin you around 180 degrees. Just continue the turn and pick up your rider. This works for both wakesurfing and wakeboarding. It really helps your turns when wakesurfing because you have limited steering when your boat is listing.

Right on the money...What side is your weight on? Is there a reason you turn to the right, I always turn left but all my weight is on the left side.

1. replace the 12 inch L7 with 2 solobarick 15's or just 1 18
2. figure out how to add 2 more pro 80's to my rz tower, or 1 more 485
3. figure out how to keep the amps cooled for just sitting around.
4. add another kinetik battery
5. ballast
6. vinyl wrap!

[Moki]

Its a dual purpose invesment right?

To get rid of those pesky wave runners and ballast. Might also clear a path at the boat ramp too.

Finally, somebody gets me!

Great minds think alike Moki. Great but unrecognized....

Hey, maybe you could use my potato launcher design. Guaranteed to launch a potato well over 200 yards. Just need some hairspray and a sack of potatos. What ever you don't use for ammo, you can always use for cooking. Complete with ignition switch.

If the potato doesn't scare them, the concussion from the launch will definitely get their attention. It's louder than 4" mortars.

Now you have my interest! Anybody interested in a group buy?
