Just got 17 hours on my 2017 Craz last weekend. Water temp was 68 and the air temp was 69. So it was a little cold in VA.
Great setup!!!Quote:

Waaaayy behind this spring! Stripped all graphics and finished with rough cut and working on fine cut, apply graphics then wax. Spent a lot of time on vinyl replacement, tune up stuff, some stereo upgrades, fixed wake plate actuator, LED's, new swim platform, sea strainer and valve, and general stuff. In by Memorial Day.

Matthew what lake in VA are you running on
Where's 5:00?
I don't know; he's somewhere (probably out working on the boat).
I have stayed there a few times before my wife and I purchased a house. Its really nice. I am over at Indian Point. I should be out on Memorial day I got family and friends coming down. You never know how many friends you have until you get a lake house and wake boat! :rolleyes:Quote:

Love hearing about some VA moomba owners finally.
Story of my life right now. 10 years old and time for extra TLC. The drive train and hull were good when we got it but otherwise the previous owner didn't show it a lot of love so it is finally getting it. The paint was chalked and the graphics were pretty scraped up and vinyl was starting to go quickly. Gave us the chance to change up the colors and do what we want.Quote:

It's been awhile since I've posted. The wife got her new Soulcraft board we've been working on for a couple months. Tore up my acme 1235 which has been on he boat for four years and picked up a phase 5 for myself (late last season).

So my shipment from Overton's arrived today, just in time for Memorial Day. A couple of new rope winders, a new pair Radar Ergo-K ski gloves (my old O'Brien SKi Skins are 5+ years old), and the first of our 2 cocktail cruise flags (the beer flag came in this shipment but the martini glass flag seems to be on back order...). Can't wait to take all these new goodies up to the lake on Thursday night!

Man I keep seeing all these pictures of people on the lake is making me jealous. We managed to get 11hrs on the new SR on the few nice days we have had but now we can't buy a nice day to take it out again. Last week we got 8in of snow in northern CO and forecast for Memorial weekend is calling for low 60's and raining all weekend.http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...pss7e1vohu.jpg
I have a 1235 I would sell you.

Another successful run to Lake Powell. Delivered some skies for a customer to enjoy the holiday weekend and brought back another pair to get fixed and sold. This place is just something else :cool:

Finally got to test out those new enzo bags last week. I was a bit light on bow weight, so I was using a lot more wake plate than I like to. Headed out again tomorrow with an extra 200# worth of steel for the nose. Hopefully that's enough. The push is incredible though!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...72051b4684.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c16cae742c.jpg

My buddy does a loud of digital media stuff and started this Instagram and is selling stuff. I know this isn't probably kosher but figured some of you would find it cool. https://www.instagram.com/p/BUaU34-lt0f/
New boat parking...
Ok, that may be a little misleading depending on how you interpret it. Basically this has been a LONG time in the making.
Finally have a new garage to call home.

The beauty is that it's 28ft deep so I can pull in and walk clear around the boat on all sides with room to spare, plus have 2 more full bays for all the other stuff. Hell I could park my crew longbed f350 in here once I get more organized!

Wish I had enough height to raise the tower in here but no dice. On the other hand, I'll never have to winterize again so I'm not complaining!
Turns out I have a bent guide post. Kind of knew that from a hard load in the wind and the current a few years back but now I'll have to do something about it.

This house has been empty for 2-3 years so we have A LOT of figuring out, cleaning up, and organizing to do. We're calling it the mystery house as we still don't know what some of the light switches control, etc. There's sprinkler system buried out there but so far I've only found 3 sprinkler heads. The rest are still grown over. Lots of work ahead but it will be fun. (hopefully!)

Not a bad night...
