River flooded and the dreaded fuel grommet recall has us ‘grounded’ this weekend. Yardwork and cleaning up the rig is all I can do :/ but glad to get the mulching done!

Got the boat back from the dealer for my break-in service and fuel pump recall inspection (mine was all good). Also had them replace my triducer because my depth finder would intermittently not work. On the way home I swung by Lay Lake to get in the water even if I was by myself lol. Once underway I noticed my speedometer was WAY off, like 15+ mph off or so. Called my dealer service department and they asked if I wanted to be walked through on how to align my triducer to get the paddle wheel lined up for accurate speedometer but when I told them I was on the water they said they would just send a tech mechanic out to my on the water and he would dial in the alignment while we made some speed passes. Awesome service and can’t say enough good things about Skiers Marine they are freaking awesome!! Oh and while there my salesman hooked me up with a free Doomswell surf bag. If anyone is shopping for a Supra, Moomba or MasterCraft in Alabama, Tennessee or Georgia give Skiers Marine a chance for your business.
With just me in the boat the wave wasn’t going to be a monster but even for stock and only me I managed to make a nice long wave. Can’t wait for next weekend to finally try surfing behind this thing!!

FaceTimed with the wife while she pulled the boat out of storage and got it ready for the water. Reassembling the tower was the most tedious part, but she figured it out.
New truck pulls great and barely sagged at all. Will need to see how it does when it’s full of camping/boating gear, because I might end up adding some Timber Groves airbags to the back for stability and to level it all out.

Utah was treated with some next level riding by all the athletes at the Supra Boats 2019 PWT. What an amazing event!

First time giving this big girl a through wash and clean inside and out. It may be the only time I wished it was smaller lol. That being said 4 hours later in 95 degree heat and she’s looking fresh and clean ready for the next outing! One thing I wished this boat had compared to my Yamaha was a drain channel system made into the fiberglass mold that channels water from around the cushions and dumps it out into in walk way. It’s not too hard to get some water in the compartments but this could easily be diverted with some drain channels.

Finally landed the 360!!!! And not on the board we ever imagined. Stuck some slightly smaller (2.3”) fins on the VooDoo and it came alive. Only downside is I celebrated just a hair too early and screwed myself! Lmao
Was an awesome day on Somerville, my buddy’s Craz was throwing a nice wave with 300# of my lead added in.

Congrats....on the face plant! Jk, congrats on the 360!Quote:

Nice!!!!! I am sure that felt awesome! Both the 360 and the celebratory dive! Was Somerville still up?Quote:

It was loaded down, but it took it and still wanted more. No problems with the 400 and a 2775 prop.
It was showing nearly 12 ft above full pool when I checked earlier today. Do they not have gates on that lake they can open? It seems to stay up for a long time once it gets up.Quote:

Both are located in the southeast corner of the lake toward Overlook park.Quote:

Supposedly they’re still dropping it 1” a day. But if that were true it woulda been back closer to normal pool by now.
However... that lake is really nice 12’ high. You dont have to worry about a lot of the sand bars now and the useable lake is much larger for water sports other than fishing. If they’d just drop it about 5’ so you could get on the boat ramps again it’d be perfect in my opinion.
Found these on my GoPro from Saturday.

Maybe not though, maybe that would have cost like $300,000.00Quote:

So it's not Moomba/Supra, but we had a chance to surf our local pros' 2019 G23 today. What a great wave, and almost infinitely customizable at the push of a button. Great wave, but not an extra $150k great.
Then we took them out and showed them what a 2014 Mondo can do! [emoji23] Actually, they killed it on my wave. Better/longer runs than they had on the G. No pics of that though.
This was the G with zero water ballast, just a couple hundred pounds of lead and 5 adults on board: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b8e1f82dcb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4197c863f9.jpg
My new 2006 Outback V can’t wait to mod and shred!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa59753b31.jpg
My buddy has a G23 as well. It’s a beautiful boat, but the wave is nothing to write home about. Mind you he is running stock underfloor ballast and 500lb of lead and that’s it. The rear lockers could take some big old bags, but for whatever reason he won’t do it.
So as it sits it’s OK, but again, nothing spectacular. My other buddies MXZ22 puts it to shame. That power wedge is awesome. Instant ballast simulation without any waiting time or need for bags and shit. But that boat stickers for twice what my Craz did.

I don't know, the wave we had yesterday was amazing. My first run the wave seemed like it had a long flat spot right behind the boat. She said, "you want it steeper?" Pushed a button and bam, perfect wave. And only half ballast.Quote:

But again, a $195k boat vs my $50k boat? Yeah I can't justify that.
I have 2 buddies with 2019 23 LSVs...the wave is great! It is not any bigger or better than my SL, but the ridiculous bow rise in a Malibu and the fact that the boat only turns one direction because the surf tab is sticking straight out the side of the boat...oh and there is no storage in a Malibu at all because of the plug in plays and the hard tank in the bow.
Great looking boat, modding it is a slippery slope but a heck of a lot of fun. Enjoy!Quote:

Not worth $100k variance, but i have dibs on his boat when he sells it :)
Thanks! First thing I want to do is FAE kit.Quote:

still waitin for ya to spend a day on mead ;)
had a guy from northern canada here last friday off another forum and he was amazed at the 100deg day and 80deg water temps. he had not been on a lake as large as mead and spent a good part of the day gawking.
we are still dialing in our wave so I don't think he was so impressed with that but spending a day on any water is a good waste of 7 hrs.
those pics are fantastic. I could retire in page pretty easy..
