June 2017 Picture Thread

I hear ya Trason, it all works. I still list mine just slightly. I run the surf side bag for about 2 minutes longer than the non surf side. When I am switching sides I empty the current surf side and fill the new surf side for the amount of time it takes to change the suck gate over to the other side and done. That takes about two minutes to complete and out surfing again. There really is no wasted time because boards are also being swapped and life vest being put on also. The Suck Gate has made a huge difference in the time it takes to switch from goofy to normal and back again. Unless there are more than just me and the wife on the boat, sides will be changed.

Great plan doing the upgrades. It has to be done. Looks good so far.

Oh, I keep forgetting about that other world out there called "GOOFY". it's odd, but me/wife/son all ride regular, and pretty much all my friends that ride are also regular. So the times I've ever needed to swap my boat to goofy I can probably count on one hand. I'd be more like your setup if I needed to swap. But since it's pretty much all regular for us, that's why I throw down on the extra weight under the seats. I mean, with the new boats, the Enzo bags are all the rage, and my 1100 rear + my 400 under the surfside seat = Enzo bag.

thanks 5:00 , all the info on this forum has been super helpful.

That makes sense with the static weight you have. We are a goofy family in more ways than one. Funny thing is that most of us are goofy and friends also. I will be keeping those friends! I started learning to ride regular last season just so I didn't have to switch over the boat. Not an issue now.

Got the sun deck complete before the weekend! Damn I just realized I didn't get a photo of the whole thing. The light colors are nice, no more burns from touching dark vinyl.

I turned a guest room into my "3D Vinyl Engineering Laboratory". I had to put a sign up because my wife was teasing me about sewing. I just left the bed frame in place and threw a couple of saw horses and a 4x8 sheet of plywood down.

The first pic is before installing the latch/lock. It was a little stressful cutting a hole in the top after finishing the rest but it was the last step.

We got almost that same wave with only two of us on board. I also found the wake plate had to be almost all the way down to clean the wave where it used to be only half way down. I still need to fine tune but working well so far.

That wave in the pic is with 5 people on board. I sent three to the front and it didn't lengthen the wave at all even with full locker up front. I finally dropped the rear bags to about 2/3 full and still had a crazy tall wave and a bit longer. I am going to try the rear bags half full this weekend and see what happens. Glad to be backing off rather than having to add.

Oh man...I was almost hoping it wouldn't make that much difference and I could put this project off for a while. Welp I'm off to the plastic store after work. I already had the print shop make me a template from the file you sent. I also increased it by 10% like you recommended. New surf platform project time....

Looks great, glad the wave is kicking! Now I have some work to do this weekend.

There are people who argue the whole swim platform thing. I just watched the platform dig into the water while surfing and now you can see the water go around the deck. I need to get a pic of that.

I would print it out first and check it against your brackets before ordering the plastic. If you really want to be sure increase it to 20% and it is a done deal. Mine works for me but in hind sight a bit bigger would have been just right.

Thank you sir! I have two bays in the front for storage and walled off the back half of the building with a single door on the back wall for my shop to tinker in.

Damn is that a lift? Nice setup! I have a 1.5 car garage that my wife's car lives in. I have to kick it out for projects but I am glad to have that. Of course neither my truck or boat fit into it.

I was really surprised to find out that I could back my wife's F150 in our garage with a few inches to spare (it has a 6" lift and 35's). the hood sticks out, but it's nice to at least have it mostly in the garage for projects... (even if I do have to kick out my M3 and S6 to make room)

My truck will fit if I put a 2x4 and push the garage door up a few inches. Once in I can't close it so I am in the same place.

Can't you just adjust your travel on your garage door opener to open it ALL the way so that the door is higher than the opening? I did that to mine.

Probably but not worth the time. I have only needed it in the garage once in the last 5 years. Still have the correct size warped 2x4.
We just got a new garage door two weeks ago so I may give it another try.

5:00 or Trayson,

What did you use to glue the hydroturf or whatever grip you used to the HDPE? Hydroturf website says DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. HDPE is notorious for things not sticking, want to make sure that is the appropriate adhesive.

Yes, I used that contact cement. It's held perfect. My HDPE was smooth fwiw.

On my interior flooring, I used some 3m super 90 when the contact cement didn't want to stick.

Still has not seen water yet but she is at the dealer getting her gator step installed and she has those stock Moomba letters on the side removed

Here's a couple of pics that show the water flowing around my custom platform:

Looks sharp with the Sea Deck! Are you putting anything on the side or leaving as is?

Thanks but that actually GatorStep, not SeaDeck. Gator Step has the template on line for the Mojo, you can order it with any of their designs and colors and it comes out perfect. On the side we are going to be adding something. Nothing major but I think it will be the perfect touch. Hoping to get pictures from the dealer today of that.

It looks like the OEM walkthrough padding on the sundeck, or is that GatorStep also?

That seems a LOT lighter then the OEM stuff... My guess is Gator. Man does it look good.

Yeah, another pic on facebook or another thread showed it better. I redact my question, Ha.

Yeah it is GatroStep there as well. It everywhere. The pieces on the bow for bow steps, the bow gunnels for arm rests, the gunnels in the back behind the tower, the whole floor and v drive cover, sun deck walk through, rear seat, swim platform, and a strip on the transom just above the platform to help protect against scratches from boards. There should be some on the bottom of the glove box too if I remember correctly. Gotta have padding for your phone lol

Not too bad a wave for an almost 10 year old boat. :-)

And it's great to have the river to yourself. Literally the only boat playing in our slough and water like this all evening long. Water temp 59, air temp in the upper 60's. I'll take it when it keeps all the other boats away!!!!

Without my knowledge my brother in law decided it was time to take the stickers off my boat. Looks like my weekend will have less boating and more detailing to get rid of the ghosting

Here are a few pics of our Baltic cruise the last 9 days. I found it amazing how smooth the sea was compared to our Texas lakes! The other amazing thing was there was only 3 hours of night. Sundown at 12 and sun up at 3. That means a lot of hours in the lake but did not see any wakeboard boats!

Only wake is the one off our boat!

Deja vu! I just went through the exact same process with the same GG stickers. The nightmare all over again. Someone stole the "B" from my Moomba letters on both sides so it had to go. Took off the giant XLV also. It is all done now. Its an '07 but the original owner put the '08 graphics on it thankfully.
What is your plan for it? Get on the water this weekend and deal with that during the week!

Final result after a LOT of Goo Gone, heat and polishing.

We are practically neighbors. You're not the blue and silver Helix that lives at the house right of Pontiac Trail are you?

Goof off and microfiber for the adhesive. Wool pad on a dewalt variable speed 7/9" rotary and either meguiars or 3M compound then a polish and wax. The dealer literally just did all that a week ago so I was gonna let it ride until winter and throw the 2010 chrome letters on. Kinda pissed someone touched my boat without asking and kinda pissed the marina left it sitting on a service rack all week instead of in its spot covered in the dry stack. It's going to drive me nuts all weekend.
