Skateboard ramp on a NG OBV report

[mazzyel2162]

The hull of the NG OBV is a tough one with the 3 "tier" design.

Using the skateboard ramp and the 4 suction cups, the ramp blew right off when approaching 9 mph.

Hopefully am going to try to get out again today and try various location to se if I can get it to stay on.

went out again on Sunday

water was real rough, but it was pretty obvious the skateboard ramp works.

I had both rear 750's filled and the wave was higher than when I was using the 1100 lb bags. 2 people in boat.

Needs stronger suction cups than what we have been ordering - on one of the cups, the hardware pulled out of the cup

best location I found to place the ramp (on the starboard side) was the front of the ramp right below the two drain holes.

Sorry no pix.

will try it again next week in hopefully smoother water.

works pretty well! Next we try the ocean surf board on the new and improved wave.

I went out for a quick test run late Monday afternoon with the ramp with suction cups and was unable to get up to full surf speed without it coming off. Interested to hear how you got it to stick.

my surf speed is 10 MPH.

Make sure the ramp isn't put on the boat backwards.

Skinny end towards the bow.

Mine sticks with four of those grey suction cups for the French fryer
