Beautiful day on Martin today. Flake was dancing with the water reflections :)

Water is warming nicely here. 82 degrees in one of the sloughs and 79 in another part of the lake. Towed the boat 3 times with the new truck and it’s been great. So much better than my old 5.4 2WD.

Thanks man. We are still loving our Max and the color way!

I’m not even sure they rent it now that I’ve tried to find their listing again on VRBO. Maybe their insurance wouldn’t let them due to possible law suit lol. I did find a video someone put on YouTube when they visited the house.

That setup is really cool. Wow - on a rental house. Yikes. Better have a good attorney.

Reminds me of some of the coves in Norris TN. Big party houses.

A couple quick shots…. One pulling out of the dealer for a test of the new ballast set up, and one out on the lake during…. The new 5% tint with UV totally helps the ‘old’ style dash design from melting the IPhone on the charge pad!!

Pulled the boat back to the ‘home’ area for the summer….

Definitely noticed the extra 1000lb of lead in there but the new (to me) truck worked like a champ!

And now I really notice the guide pole covers look thrashed after one season, anyone know who makes a set that will last longer?

Be careful Dukabor. BC has stricter trailering laws than Alberta. From your pic's it doesn't look like you have the EOH brake package on that trailer.

https://i.imgur.com/R14L4Bm.png

https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/26_58_02

In addition, you're boat weight is 5200 lbs + 1000 lbs lead + 360 lbs fuel + batteries/gear/speakers/etc. Getting pretty close to the 6900 lbs max for the boatmate trailer.

Be aware and stay safe.

Thanks, and you are right, no EOH, was going to scale the boat and trailer to see where I am at exactly, that was whole dilemma on adding lead and not just going with ballast bags…. And everything adds up when you start loading up….. with the mountain passes around here it’s no joke thats for sure…. Luckily I have a moorage for the summer which is about 20 minutes away so should alleviate the issue of constant trailering (they even have a fuel station!)…. But you are absolutely right on understanding the numbers…. Even on the trucks there is plenty of advertised weight ratings that really dwindle as you start adding gear and people as well!

Edit: just double checked the trailer GVWR and it showed 8200 lbs

[HFarr]

Maybe put the lead bags in the back of the truck if you have to tow very far. Especially in the mountains. Less trailer weight pushing you on braking.

Blaine was saying the same thing. He rode Josh's HA Lift Wing last week, Said it was tough to tame. Plus, he rode it on that short carbon board, which make it even more squirrelly.

I'm really looking forward to trying it but got really frustrated when I couldn't keep it down.

Here's my oldest trying to surf, I can't figure out how to teach them to putt some topside pressure on the board to come towards the wave.

[haknslash]

Seeing that rope behind him is giving me anxiety! One wrong fall and it could be nasty. I would for sure shorten that rope so that it’s only long enough to keep him in the sweet spot of the wave.

Nice pics everyone!

Are you always driving? If you have a driver, you could pull the rope in yourself. I’ve done that with newbies and helped them get into the sweet spot a little at a time.

Yea, toes closer to the wave will help a bunch. Most kids scared to move their feet once they are up b/c they do not want to fall. Thus they lean back too much.

When teaching some kids last summer, once I noticed their feet position, I put some blue tape on the front pad and got them to touch it with their toes while riding. Gave them something to look down and aim at.

They will get it with more reps this summer.

I have a t-handle rope if you want to have the kids try it. It has some knots the can grip further up the rope. Some like it, some don't.

Always down to try something new if it will help them out. Wife does the same on the new board. She has her weight on her heels and has a hard time transitioning to getting more weight on her toes.

Bummer about the prop @Mxmark4, hopefully there isn't other damage. Repowering the Sea Nymph, I guess they sell new outboards sans prop... I'm hoping to hijack some waves on the foil board this summer mid week with the kids when the wife is at work. My 12 year old can legally drive it, my 14 year old can legally spot, so we are good to go for some tow sports when we don't have another adult around.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230612/ec80ccbdb8b40e18bed4026f207f07c5.jpg

My Sister-In-Law just did something similar to ours. She says it doesn't look like it is damaged at all, but the boat was vibrating terribly when they got over 5. Changed the prop and it all went away. At least you know you hit something! :-D

[Mxmark4]

Went out today and surveyed the complete damage. Gel repairs to the bottom, new strut shaft and rudder coming as soon as dealer opens. I will replace the hard parts and my buddy is doing the gel work. Sucks but it's part of it. Had a drunk buddy causing boat drama and I got distracted. Basically ran aground but the mighty raptor powered thru it. My contribution is to make a weight and rope and a bumper and go Mark the spot. My buddy watched 2 boats run aground out there last weekend prior to me. So this will be my addition to the lake and helping the party patrons of Prater flats stay out of the "flats"

Prater Flats got me years ago when leaving and I got too far on the right side. Comes up fast. I was not paying close enough attention and I knew it was there. Got the boat turned in time and was able to get the prop fixed.

Dang that sucks but thankfully it can all be repaired. Are you going through your insurance? Did the exact same thing years ago. Gel coat, shaft, and prop. Insurance payed everything except the deductible. Hope your back on the water soon.

Yeah it's gonna be an insurance job. Was at the dealer pricing parts and they had everything in stocks in multiple quantities except the strut. I went ahead and bought it since it seems to take forever to make it 20 miles from the factory to the dealer if they don't have it. So as soon as the approval goes thru I will have it torn down and ready to go.

Yea we were up north. We stayed at the end of Warm Springs Canyon. The debris was crazy bad. I have never seen that much debris in all the years we have been going. You definately have to bee VERY carful and keep your eyes on what's in front of you. Luckily we came out unscathed (no prop damage). I considered that no small miracle! I don't know if it will be less down south but i would assume a little better.

Omg, the boat is gorgeous. That blue color is my favorite. To tell you the truth I like all the Moomba boats, their durability and how they look and perform are on a high level. Moomba boats really know how to make an impression. What I love about Moomba boats is not only their aesthetic appeal but also their exceptional durability. They are built to last, which is a huge plus when you're out on the water, facing various weather conditions and enjoying all sorts of water activities. Moomba boats are known for their quality construction and robust performance, which gives you peace of mind and allows you to focus on having a great time. Unfortunately, right now I can't own a boat because of the fact I travel a lot. But every city I go to I rent a boat/yacht for several days. That's how I did in Dubai, renting a boat with wake surf through https://yeprent.com. Nice option when you can't purchase a boat.)

Managed to get about 80% of my rear bags full before my port ballast relay started smoking. Thankfully it drained fine but called the dealer while on the water to let them know so they could go ahead and get it ordered. Hopefully there isn’t a back order wait time as we have a week lake vacation coming up in about a month. This will be the second one I’ve had to replace since 2019. That being said the ole Max still threw out a killer wave for just two people in the boat.

Just got back from Lake Powell. It was hard to get clean lips because of the wind, which was gusting up to 20-30 mph, but the push with this kid in the back corner was amazing. The kids all had a blast cliff jumping when we were trying to get out of the rough water. Got pulled over by NPS for a wakeless violation when the boat was at 4 mph and putting out a slight ripple but only got a warning. Still one of the coolest places on earth.

Thanks! I’m hoping I can get the ballast relay swapped out before our trip in a month. Dealer said they think the modules are in stock at SC. For the warranty claim. SC is requesting pics of my damaged module and of course my stupid self didn’t take pics last weekend when it happened. Today I have to drive 1.5 hours down to the lake for the 10 minutes or so to take pics of it and then drive back haha.

When I first got my boat I had 15 people on it but since it was during break-in process I didn’t fill any ballast. I would have loved to see what the wave would have looked like with that amount of crew onboard.

MJH, almost need binoculars to see your friend wayyyy back there! One of these days I might splurge and get a foil but I’d love to find someone who has one to try out a couple of times. It looks very challenging.
