I must say I was hoping for more out of your custom box! Some plexi, fiberglass, something jazzy. That is just not your style man - put some bling on it!

rock on! I see you removed the glass for tint but in the video it looks like it's removed and then back on with no tint for awhile?
I missed the windshield the first time I watched. Why did you remove it, and then replace it with no tint?
@jstinger
Nice that you caught that. i tried telling Brian it was messed up in the video. We are missing 2 sections and im not sure why. We filled up over 32G of cards with still motion.
I pointed out a couple times that the windshield was backwards. The first part of the video, is really the second part. Then there is a missing section with the Tinted window back on, and the section of the amp rack being built and installed is missing as well. Some of the missing parts might be my fault as i have never dealt with a Go Pro so im learning.
How do you make those still motion videos? I want to do that

You set the camera to still shots every X seconds up to 1 minute. We did 1 minute shots. Then when you render it you speed it back up and it gives you that. The more often you take a picture the smoother the still motion will look. THis was done over a couple weeks on the days i had time to work on the boat.
What version of GoPro did you use Mike?
So what kind of program do you need to play all the pictures real fast like that? I wanted to do a sunrise type thing at the lake house for a video

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like you can take sections out of your tower? How does that work? I understand you don't have the factory oz.
Chris, mike bought. Shane stilmans prototype mojo. SC boat designer, so he got a newer tower design that is not in production yet.
You still on the fence on the new boat?
Yes mine has a 1 off Skylon, 1 off because even the tower has been changed slightly from factory. It has the lower cross bar removed to open the lower section of the tower up.
On my tower the center section is removable with 6 Allan bolts. This is how i wires the tower. It would seem this makes wires easier but trust be it doesn't. I had to do a lot of cutting grinding and customizing to the inside area that you cant see to make the wires work. The tower is designed to only have wires in the front most tube goto the boat. There is a small track in the removable section for wires to the rear inside tube. In order to mount my center 3set of speakers i had to drill access holes then route the center section to allow the wires.
Like i said in your PM go with the 500 option and get the larger diameter tower i think you will be more then happy.
Other then the diameter of my tower vs the standard, and the removable center section they are pretty similar. They use the same Bimini also.
Got my Evolution cover finally, nah actually had it about 2 months just never have gotten pictures of it LOL.

Nice cover!
Looks sharp. How does the gray match up with the boat / truck? Pics don't always do it justice.
cover looks good, looks to fit a little better than mine
and get that boat tight up against the bow stop
HAHA i didnt even notice that, ill mention that to my crew, you know in Texas it seemed every boat we looked at sits about 4 inches off the bow stop. IDK i tried it but the boat bounced all over the place on the trailer. Felt really ruff on the back of the truck.
Sometimes when you load the rear end is floating when you winch up. This pushes the bow down and tight to the roller. Then when you pull the trailer out of the water the rear sits down on the bunks. At this point the nose lifts up a little and leaves a gap between the eye and the roller. Very hard to winch her up more when she's up out of the water though. Maybe on a downslope it could be done with the bunks still wet. Maybe have to just pull out of the water a few feet and winch a little more before you leave the ramp.
I see people doing here all the time in florida-not winching the bow up tight, ive watched boats bouncing hard against the bow stop going down the freeway.
so when you sell the boat let me know..i have never driven that far from NY to Oregon but that boats worth it lol
^ I did half the trip with a boat in tow a few months ago. trust me when I say pay a shipping company ;)
i moved my boat from Tenn to upstate NY..i didnt mind it..only thing that sucked was the shrink wrap ripped apart on its way up..of course with gas prices now i might get killed in diesel fuel

I had my boat shipped from Oregon to Rochester! Bought my supra from one of mandleys neighbors! Folded tower. Shrink wrapped and and 2700 miles later!
Driver that towed it blew out his power stroke prior to getting out of Oregon.
Never too far to get a boat you love!
I crank my boat till the roller is sandwhiched between the boat eye and the bow. Very very tight. Never have any issues with it gaining slack when pulling it out of the water.
Mike, what boats did you see in Texas that were not tight against the bow roller
Sent from my iPhone
Mine normally is tight on the roller, in Texas me and Brian saw a lot of them, non of the Moomba Supra crew, or we would have said something but even when we inquired about it, they were like everyone does it like this, the bow will get all scratched if you leave it on the roller.
I didnt have it done intentionally. I tried it 1x and the boat was bouncing on the trailer and i could feel it in the truck, i said never again.
I will say trailing a Mojo is much more work then the LSV, it doesnt self center as well due to the wide nose, also its real easy to get the trailer too deep or too shallow, now a lot of difference between the too. Seem like the Mojo sits on more bunk surface as well because its harder to launch it off the trailer. We literally have to back the truck down a little and stomp the brakes to give it enough inertia to come off the trailer, unless i want to back the truck into the water, and i dont.
Not complaining, just differences noticed.
What was that spray you can get to spray the bunks down to make them slicker?
Man, mine is always cranked all the way to the roller. To many crappy bouncy roads around this part of Texas. Shoot just getting out of Bethy Creek today I was freaking out about the road.
