Merry Christmas everyone!!
Can’t wait to add these two mods to the boat! Both will be very welcome additions!! Going to get some EZ steps for the trailer before the season starts. What did Santa bring you for the boat?

NO boat stuff for me this Christmas, but I want to see that step you have installed!

1000 #s of lead was all I needed. Sitting in the garage right now, waiting patiently.
Making my new SA build come true!!!
I got enough cash for 1, maybe 2 wakeboard sets. $25...hahaha.. And a Columbia PFG Alabama long sleeve, pretty pumped about that!!
This will be our first summer with our Kaiyen, so we got some new toys to get us started! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6af4ab0c76.jpg

Santa grabbed me a new skim style surfer and the kids got one too. Unfortunately as I was unboxing it last night to sit it out for the kids ol' Saint Me found out it got damaged in shipping and the nose of the board is smashed in. Hoping the wakemakers elves can make it right for me.
Cool! Like it!Quote:

I wanted to get a new P5 skim to try but wife and I set a moderate limit on each other this year. So I picked manageable boat upgrades instead but I do hope to pickup a slightly used skim this season. Enjoy that slalom and other goodies. I wished I were in shape enough to slalom again! Merry Christmas everyone.
Thanks! I snagged the P5 on Black Friday for a decent discount. Coming from slaloming behind a Stingray on a combo ski, really looking forward to trying out this new setup!Quote:

Got rid of the F150 and upgraded to the ¾ ton without giving it much thought - so that was our Christmas present!!! Got a gasser since I work from home and wouldn’t be driving much and only tow the boat for the most part.
The difference between a ½ and a ¾ ton is unreal. Can’t even feel the boat back there. Feel safe on the highway finally as well.
Plus its the megacab in the Laramie trim - the can is enormous.
Wife has a Soulcraft on order. Otherwise we didn’t do presents this year because of this [emoji4]
I’m super stoked about this setup!

Santa wife got me a carbon fair core skimmer. Can’t wait to see how that ladder works out, we’ve been looking all around for ideas on a ladder.
Sweet ride!

Nice setup. Congratulations. I’m on Team Gas as well. Can’t justify the extra expense of a diesel for only occasional towing. Sure, a diesel might hold an extra gear up a hill and burn less fuel when towing but what about the other 99% of the time if it’s used as a daily driver. Just one guy’s opinion.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to the forum family.
Exactly my thought process when shopping. Was sold on diesel for the boat. But after tons of research gas just made more sense.Quote:

So picked up a new daily (okay weekend car) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...04ed80639d.jpg
Awesome!! Is that your wife presenting it to you?? Can she come hang out with my wife for a little while and give her some ideas? [emoji28]Quote:

My kids got me some Mission Sentry boat fenders. I've heard they are great, but i must say I love my blow up bumper balls because they take up no space at all when not it use. Looking forward to trying them.
If your kids bought them, then you will love them! If they work or not...LoL!Quote:

I swear by the inflatables too. That is all I used for boat-to-boat rafting.
I tried the bungee cord style lines last summer. They work pretty good. Still used my old rope style also.
