knees can't take the pounding of the wakeboard anymore. Went back to the old school ways of river fun.
Here's some family and puppy pics

The puppy is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. She was 24lbs at 12weeks and in now 6 months old and a danty 66lbs. She should be 100+lbs by the time she is 11months. Her name is Kenai. We had to put down our faithful friend of 15 years, kato, a couple years back. Needed another big dog around the house.

Great to hear from you Greg! Thanks for sharing and updating us. You are missed, but glad to hear things are going well for you and your family. Your son isn't a toddler anymore. Your boat build is amazing! What brand of oil filter was in it? I always think about your Civic. That was a great decision. Post up some more pics, when you get a chance. Happy Anniversary too.

Thanks.
I pat myself on the back everytime i pass a gas station. I don't even know how much it is per gallon anymore. last time i looked was when i filled the rv up to go to needles. OUCH!
The oilfiter was a Pure Performance. One of those bitchen billet aluminum washable lifetime deals. Problem withit is, it does not have an internal bypass and I'm running a "full flow" set up in my block. That means 100% of the oil passes thru the filter 100% of the time. Stadard set up is about 20% goes to the filter and 80% bypasses it and goes straight to the block. In my case, i flat footed it with cold oil and the filter could not take it, so it colapsed. Lesson learned. I now use a Baldwin filter. Steel frame, internal bypass.
My boy, Dylan is not even close to being a toddler anymore. God I wish he was that easy still. What a handfull!

is the boat just light enough to where you dont need a trailer tounge jack? just pick it up and set it down?

[da.bell]

tommy and eddie at extreme custom trailers built me a kickass new trailer. led's, galvitube coating, low pro pkg, polished stainless fenders, prop guard rollers and torsion axles. the torsion bars are way to heavy duty for my little 1500lbs boat. that is why it levitates like that. i have to lift it about 1.5 inches to get it on the ball.
i have to still instal it and when i do i'll post some pics, mike at explosion towers made me a little tiny tower that mounts to the stringers just aft of the eng. this boat has a pretty decent wake for what it is. 32mph the slalom wake is tiny.

Beautiful boat Greg! Some day I'll get me one.

Obviously a fresh paint job. What color did it used to be?

Thanks for the compliment but no, that's not a fresh paint job. Looks to be original unless someone sanded it down to fiberglass before repainting it. I wet sanded it, buffed it, clay barred and polished. Suprised my self at how good it turned out. I never wanted it to be a show piece, we have kids and dogs in our group and if one were to scratch it, oh well, **** happens. Just enjoy it. I met a guy at the v-drive show that realy liked my boat. He said it was one of the best ones there because it had "waterspots". He called them "character spots" and it was nice to see a boat being used.

[NICKYPOO]

No ****! Wow, looks great. I love the lines of that hull. You see a million bubble decks and TR3s, but that Barron Sprint is just awesome looking. I know I shouldn't be, but I'd, be lying if I said I wasn't just a bit jealous.

Keep rockin' the lake rod.
