This is our 2nd, but this one we built to us vs. buying someone else’s build.
I did experience the software glitch that causes the center plate to drop during Cruise and Back to Dock were engaged.
Shutting off the battery switch and letting the computer reboot solved that issue (thanks forum[emoji106]).
I was running with crew that were novices to wake boats, and I was a little rusty on the ready line. Plus, my wife, the boat driver was gone, which put me in the hot seat.
All I can say is Thrusters are worth it!

Larry “Thrusters” Arizona for the tower bottle opener. I put this to good use the other day[emoji481].
Thanks again for help making the boat pimp.

$5.09 a gallon but worth it.....
Had an awesome weekend at the lake and actually remembered to take some photos LOL. Got some good surfing in and my daughter caught her first fish!

Ready to roll, other than a busted ballast bag it seems, have to tear into that this week. Always something!
Damn that sucks, how hard is it to fish a new bag into the subfloor?Quote:

Riding the wave behind the mondo this weekend
Probably a real PITA, hopefully I can pull the floor panel to get to it, I haven't looked yet.Quote:

Couldn’t find any calm water today and didn’t have any surf boards on board so we tried this instead. The new bags I installed over the winter from Wakemakers are amazing!

So easy fix.
Removal isn't that bad, pull the engine divider panels, then take out 6 screws to remove its track, then remove 6 more screws to pull the ballast floor covers and you're in.
On my previous Supra I would disconnect all the bags for winter. One spring I hooked up two, but forgot the center bag. Some would be surprised how fast those pumps will start to fill you bilge.Quote:

Yep 2 pumps per bag makes for an interesting few minutes lol.Quote:

I had a hose uncouple on our Sanger while surfing. I noticed the wave softening up and looked up from my line to see a geyser coming from the port locker which had opened partially when the bag filled.Quote:

Well my boating season is off to the latest start that I've ever had. Normally I'm in the Water by April 1st or before. But I've been mountain biking a lot and unfortunately getting launched over the bars and Landing squarely on my collarbone isn't going to do my boating season any favors...
I got a few projects that I need addressed before I can put it in the water and crawling around and wrenching on the boat is not possible right now.
On a good note however I was able to come up with a great solution for a code reader for mefi5. It's a system from Fox Marine that costs about $325 and I read the info on a $5 bluetooth app. Descending unit from Fox Marine is actually now hardwired into my boat. So now I can read and clear codes as well as see how many bazillion hours I have on the engine. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d7f3104370.jpg

Having a ballast hose come undone is absolutely nothing in comparison to having one of the 4" wet exhaust hoses or when you're in the middle of the lake or the river... Ask me how I know.

Thats what we pay for 87 here are our local gas stations (okay 4.79 for 87 at Costco but everything's over $5 everywhere else).Quote:

My favorite was when the fitting for the hose to the oil cooler blew. On the oil side. A $15 fitting resulted in the need to completely clean the engine compartment and bilge and resulted in absolute terror relating to how to get the boat back on the trailer.Quote:

Took the last picture of the XLV on its way to meet the new owner.
Stripped everything off the tower since he had a 3.5hr drive home with it.

3.5 hours? Big deal. I drive that on a few different trips every summer and my tower has some pretty ridiculous amount of stuff on it.Quote:

Same here. 6+ hours each way. No problems at all.Quote:

Out of fairness, it was quick release Rev 10s and and bimini that was held on by two thumb screws and a strap. I’ve seen plastic speaker housings crack over time and had a Bimini cover start to tatter from trailering a lot. Just trying to be a good seller.
Carry on

Put a deposit on this 17 Mondo last weekend
I like that paint scheme on that Mondo.
Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk
Looks good! Is that a wrap on it? I keep my mondo at my grandfathers house which is for sale currently. Had some folks come to look at house and ended up trying to buy my boat instead of house. Now is a terrible time to try and buy a bigger boat, but I threw out a number about 10k more than I paid and he didnt seem to flinch at it. So upgrading might be in my near future.Quote:

Love your all black! Not sure why these boats are even offered without a second battery anymore given all the tech and sound systems.
@bigs28 - is that Danny Harf with Shaun Murray? Having a little trouble zooming in on the picture. Nice pics off the kicker as well. You have a little shredder on your hands!!
Yes Harf and Murray. They did a couple passes together throwing some big stuff for the kids. And i can't figure out how to post the full page pictures that are clear for free.
Man I bet that was a blast! He will remember that and be stoked for going back again!Quote:
