First Trip

[brody66]

I took the boat out for the maiden voyage this weekend, on saturday it was about 60 and it felt great to be on the lake, everything worked great and met up with a buddy that just moved to town a few months ago that has a malibu, it is going to be sweet having another friend in town with a ski boat. This was his first time on our lakes because he moved here in the winter, so he was not familiar with our channels and hit a concrete wall that is under water and bent one of his fins, but if your going to break something $130 is not a bad fix, here is a picture from the bar.

What is the water temp up there? Those boats look lonely...

On my lake being the biggest it was 47.5 and on the other two lakes it was flirting with 50, my buddy went skiing on saturday with a dry suit and said it was not too bad.

I was talking with another guy when my buddy pulled up and he goes it looks like he forgot to put his plug in because it rides so low, i cant wait to surf with him and see what that boat looks like loaded down.

That is a nice picture.

Here is the damage on his boat from hitting the concrete wall.

He's lucky he didn't break it off or worse. Try this site for replacements.

no kidding! that is how LBX's new boat sank if I am not mistaken... that is what the fins on my boat look like. If it tracks OK, I wouldn't worry about it (but that is just me). I know someone else took them off and with heat beat them back into good form...

'cept that LBX has a secret desire to be a u-boat commander

His has some serious stress cracks at the top, he is an engineer so i am sure he thought about it through and through

At the top of the fin or boat? If it's the fin, no biggie, just replace it...if it's the boat

[brody66]

No the cracks were on the fin, no biggie

I'd post a pict of mine that are bent, all 3 are bent I think, but those picts are on another comp. I spent all last summer (100+ hours) running it with no noticable effects...
