Ballast and Prop group buy starts NOW!

[brain_rinse]

This ballast and prop group buy will begin IMMEDIATELY and close August 20th to give people time to work through details of their setup with the vendor (who has asked to remain nameless.) All orders can be placed individually and will be processed immediately with a 10% discount. You can include anything and everything in the vendor's store at the discounted rate but all orders must be greater than $150.

As more orders are placed the discount increases according to the tiers listed below! Once the group buy has closed, a credit will be applied to all orders based on the final order count. Please post in this thread once you've placed your order so we can have an accurate count.

6 or more orders: 15% discount (done!)
11 or more orders: 20% discount (done!)
16 or more orders: 25% discount (done!)

Here's your chance to get that Integrated Bow Sac, 750 surf sacs, or the big 1100s, PLUS all the parts and accessories at a steep discount. Or if you need a prop now is the time to get it as this is shaping up to be a HUGE discount!

Coupon code is: moombabuy11 Contact me for the vendor name if you don't know.

[moombahighrider]

Thanks brain, you are the man! Thanks for doing the groundwork for all of us to benefit!

[rc5695]

Cool. Thanks Brain. Hopefully they have fast shipping; I'd like ot have my new system set up for the lake trip on the 6th...

[brain_rinse]

Wow my inbox is blown up with questions on this! I'll try to respond to all of them later this evening. The good news is that there is plenty of interest so we should be looking at a very nice discount!

[walb0244]

Post answers headline in inboxon here too so they don't get asked over and over.

Because the vendor would like to remain nameless they've asked me not to share all the specifics in a public forum.

I'm waiting to get the newly created 10% discount code from the vendor, then it's just as simple as placing your order on their website.

They have pretty much all things ballast. Yes any/all fly high bags are available and they even have launch pad too if that's your thing. Plus pumps, hoses, fittings, thru hulls, switches, etc.

[brain_rinse]

I've updated the first post with some additional info. The vendor agreed to take orders NOW so let's get to it! Coupon code is moombabuy11. If you are ready to order but don't know who the vendor is send me a PM.

[loudsubz]

ok so we put the order through, but nothing is actually processed untill the 20th when a final discount is taken off correct?

[brain_rinse]

My understanding is that orders will process and ship immediately with the 10% discount and it will just be refunds that take place after the 20th. I will confirm that with the vendor though.

[rc5695]

order placed!!! Woohooo! I shoud have it in time for our next ride too (6th). Excellent! Thanks Dan!!!

[New Guy]

Awesome Dan! Thanks for putting this together and thanks to that anonymous vender:p

Order place new locker bag and lots of fittings coming my way.

[jester]

My order was placed yesterday with the old discount code. Waiting to hear back from them on if they can switch it or if i have to reorder. Anyways I will have an order in for this. New pumps and a movable surf bag. So excited.

[moombadaze]

why do most group buys happen when im feeling broke :mad:

[jester]

Because it is one group buy after another. The forms have a habbit of finding new ways to spend your paycheck you did not think about two weeks ago.

[wolfeman131]

Think we could get a group buy on the new Moomba!

That would spend your paycheck fast! Giddy-up!

[moombahighrider]

I got my order in this morning and it was shipped today as well! Now I just have to rebuild my system between Monday and thursday afternoon, after work. Here's hoping I get it done without too any complications.

[wakeupcall]

Order placed today. Thanks Dan!

[STANG KILLA SS]

can we get an update with how many orders have been placed/what the current discount is up to?

[brain_rinse]

can we get an update with how many orders have been placed/what the current discount is up to?That's why I want people to post in this thread once they've ordered. Looks like the next buyer will get us up to 15%.

[scoot_gt]

Looks like the next buyer will get us up to 15%.

I'm def in for an IBS at some point before this closes

[brain_rinse]

Did you notice the thread title change? Yeah, that's right... props are now part of the deal too! Annnnnnd.... so long as your order is over $150 there is no ballast bag requirement. So if you only want a reversible pump for example, you are eligible for the group buy.

Best of all, the tiers haven't changed! So any purchase over $150 - props, bags, pumps, whatever all count towards our final headcount/discount.

This vendor rocks!

[moombadaze]

I need a money tree NOW.

I would really like 5 of those reversible pumps, a ibs and would need a better prop for all that ballast.

[Tegu]

Thanks for organizing!

2 1100s on the way.

[brain_rinse]

And just like that you guys are already at 15% off and well on your way to 20%. Pretty sweet.

[loudsubz]

bought a 750 bag and some fittings +1

[lsvboombox]

pulled the trigger on an ultimate surf sac

[jmvotto]

ibs on its way. thanks dan spending all my allowance. 400 way to clunky in the bow.

[brain_rinse]

I know there were a few purchases while the forum was down... post up! We gotta be at 20% by now.

[mnpracing]

Bought the Jumbos to replace the 750's, and switched all the plumbing to 1" hose with 1100 gph Rule drain pumps.

[rc5695]

already installed my 750 and love it. Just need to tweak a couple of plumbing issues and I'm set! Thanks for setting this up Dan!!!

[squeeg333]

Anyone know where we're sitting on this, order number wise? I am in the works of picking up an ACME prop, and was just curious. I'll post when it's official.

[walb0244]

I just sent Brian a message asking if maybe we can call the company and find out a order count. They have to know how many people have used the code. That way we can know where we stand since the site was down for so long. I'm wanting to order a bag or two and I got a buddy that wants to place a order as well. I just would like to know before pulling the trigger.

[txduckman07]

My 750s were ordered and already received.

[brain_rinse]

I sent them a message asking for an order count and will post in here as soon as I hear back.

[loudsubz]

Also asked for a count and apprently [a supplier] is on it.

Also want to say fast shipping and great customer service. Ordered on a wednesday and received on friday morning...in Canada.

Installed the 750 in my 2010 LSV and could free ride on my small inland surfer yellow loogy.

[brain_rinse]

We have 13 confirmed orders which means we are now at 20% and only 3 orders away from 25%!

[jester]

Ok time for you guys on the side lines to own up and get into the game. When your wife askes or is yelling at you for spending more money on the boat just tell her it is for your family that does not yell at you for spending money on the boat.

[jmvotto]

brain. is it per order or per person. i may order some more stuff even though i ordered
an ibs already.

[walb0244]

Just order under wife's name

[mk_deuce]

Make that 2 to 25%. I am getting ready to order this weekend!

[wannajet]

ordered 750 bag and pump combo this morning

[brain_rinse]

1 more order and you guys topped this thing out. Crazy! Maybe it will be me... @25% off I'm sure there is something I "need." :)

[eblom]

Done! Now I could really use some ideas on how to reinforce my rear locker for the 1100 lb sac... The search hasnt been working for me...

[squeeg333]

Boom! AMCE 1847 and a few check valves on the way. If we're not at the top, we're damn near there, so go for it ya'll. I was actually told we were right there, so I was given the top tier discounts so I wouldn't have to be refunded later. So, we're there, and you all should expect decent refunds!!

Awesome service, awsome deal, awesome that this got set up!!!

[bergermaister]

Curses! I could get the prop I want (same as you Squeeg) and save a bundle but I've already went way overboard on boat spending this year... Any chance we can do this same group buy, say next spring right around tax return season??

[kaneboats]

That's Exile group buy time.

[wannajet]

kaneboats are you serious about exile group buy in spring. After i listened to your tower speakers i need some of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brain_rinse]

That's Exile group buy time.
LOL! You read my mind.

[BRANDNIRON8971]

Im in for the Exhile GB

[mmandley]

If you guys want i can talk with Brian and set something up Say Mid Feb to Early March next year. Its easy for me as im Local to Exile and i see or talk to Brian at least 3xs a week. Let me know and i can roll on this for you all. Might be a tab easier for me to handle this one then Brain as im local. If Brain wants to do it thought i have no issues with that eighter.

[brain_rinse]

Mike, I'm more than happy to let someone else coordinate some of these group buys. If you've got an in with the Exile crew get er done!

[mmandley]

I cant even tell you what kind of in i got with the Exile crew lets just say i almost work for them lol. Me and Brain are pretty close friends you might even say like family lol.

I will run this buy him and post something up but plan to do the GB in the winter around tax time so more people can get on board.

[jester]

Guys why are you all so evil. Exile group buy would be awsome but around tax time sucks since I always have to write a big check to the goverment (by design) to support other people. I also know I should not be part of an Exile group buy if it starts this month. My check book hates you all but my boat loves you.

[jmvotto]

i vote spring time too.

do all 09 and newer have the one inch ballast hose with fill./drain and vent?

[mmandley]

Jm i was under the impression the 09 was still 3/4 they just upgraded to impeller style pumps?

[jmvotto]

[deafgoose]

I sent a PM to the OP asking what website this coupon code is good for but I haven't got a reply yet.

If somebody could clue me in, that would be great!

[deafgoose]

Got the PM, thanks!

Where are the props located on their website?

All I see is ballast stuff.

[Canuckle Head]

Yo Deafgoose, what kinda prop you gonna get? Been thinking about ugrading myself.......

Curse you guys! (in a good way)

[wolfeman131]

sent you another PM

I am looking at the ACME 1433

[deafgoose]

I just tried the coupon code again.

It is invalid on their ballast website and it is only 10% on their prop website.

[brain_rinse]

I just tried the coupon code again.

It is invalid on their ballast website and it is only 10% on their prop website.
Give them a call if you're having problems. It should only be a 10% discount now if you order through the website, then a 15% refund later.

[mnpracing]

I just tried the coupon code again.

It is invalid on their ballast website and it is only 10% on their prop website.

I believe it's either $100 or $150 before the discount kicks in...

[squeeg333]

I'd just give them a call. When I talked to them, they decided to give me the full discount on my order so he didn't have to refund me later. It could be different depending on who you talk to. But, yeh, you'll get the straight 10% on the website, and then will get the additional discount via a refund after the 20th.

[brain_rinse]

I believe it's either $100 or $150 before the discount kicks in...
Yep, $150 is the minimum order to be eligible for 25% off.

[rc5695]

16 or more orders: 25% discount (done!)

WooHoo. Lookin' forward to a refund of 15% next week. :)

[brain_rinse]

Only 2 days left to get your order placed!

[Ian Brantford]

Only 2 days left to get your order placed!

I want to place an order, but email turnaround response with the vendor is slow. If anyone has a suitable parts list for adding a bow sac and upgrading the old sprinkler system to a faster one (with or without hull drilling), please send me a PM. This is for a 2005 XLV. Thanks.

[08LSV]

Hey Brain, I am sending you a PM about this group buy. I hope I am not to late on this one like the fulton f2.... LOL! Thanks for the help with that. I was looking to order a ACME 1847 prop. Could somebody help me out with the website and coupon code in case Brain doesn't see this in time? Thanks.

[FargoDawg]

Go to the website and call. It's what idid yesterday and very simple Only got 10% so we must not be there yet.

[08LSV]

Thanks for all the info guys. I got my 1847 prop ordered and am now trying to order the parts to redo the ballast system that I just redid a couple of months ago.... Think I am changing from aerator to impeller pumps....

[08LSV]

OK. So I just placed the order for my switch to impeller pumps ballast upgrade. Definitely over $150. So put me down in the count for one new prop and ballast system. I hope we hit all the marks high enough for the big 25% discount!

[wolfeman131]

I hope we hit all the marks high enough for the big 25% discount!

Oh, yeah! We were there a couple of days/orders ago. Going to get my last minute order in tomorrow.

[loudsubz]

is the group buy done already or close tonight?

[walb0244]

Boom! AMCE 1847 and a few check valves on the way. If we're not at the top, we're damn near there, so go for it ya'll. I was actually told we were right there, so I was given the top tier discounts so I wouldn't have to be refunded later.

I tried this and they said they wouldn't do that. Does anyone know the final count and if we got the 25%. I know it as posted on here we did but when I called in my order on Friday evening they told me they weren't sure the discount because some people had canceled and such. Just thought I'd check.

I ended up ordering two 1100 lbs bags for the rear of my boat should have a good wave for surfing. Now to find a pump to fill the stock 250 lbs bags for moving around in the boat. Eventually maybe my skill level for wake boarding will get were I need ballast. But when that happens I will have plenty in the rear. Just be time for a IBS bag then.

[xBabyJesus]

Damn! With the boards being down so long looks like I missed out! Any chance we could get it extended another week?

[walb0244]

The forum was up for 11 days before the group buy closed.

[xBabyJesus]

The forum was up for 11 days before the group buy closed.

Yeah but in those 11 days I didn't check the thread for the group buy close date dude :)

[loudsubz]

any idea when refunds will start to trickle through?

[08LSV]

any idea when refunds will start to trickle through?

Yeah I was wondering that to... I didn't want to "look a gift horse in the mouth". When I ordered they said that they would have to process the number of orders this week and see where we landed. I am pretty sure they are just working through everything. I may give them a call at the end of next week if I don't see anything by then.

[jmvotto]

Look what showed up last week.

[brain_rinse]

I just spoke with the vendor and everything including refunds have been finalized. Everyone enjoy the new props and new ballast! We will do a similar group buy again next year around this time.

[jester]

I have recived my refund and I am enjoying my new GIII system. Thank you again for putting this together and thank you to the vendor to making this happen.

[wolfeman131]

Big props to Brain for setting this up!

[08LSV]

Thanks Dan. Another successful group by set up by you!

[brain_rinse]

Hey no problem guys. I love helping other people spend their money!

[jmvotto]

Dan, great group buy, Now you can work on under water LEDS....... for that new Mojo your are eyeballing....

[Ian Brantford]

Hey no problem guys. I love helping other people spend their money!

My father is the same way... and that's how I ended up with my first boat back in the 1990's. People say that having kids are expensive, but Dad has cost me at least $100,000 over the years.

Thanks for organising the group buy! I didn't get it in time for the discount, but upgrades will happen very soon thanks to the initiative here.
