    Help ID this Phase 5 skim board

    Anyone know if this is a kids board or for an adult? It came with my boat last year. I finally learned on surf board, but wanted to know if this was adult or kid. I can’t find it online.

    Yeah, I think the fact that I had 2 little girls on the boat, not a drop of alcohol on the boat and didn't argue they let us go.

    Not to be a rebel or anything, but its pretty easy to spot the...

    Have you thought about the upgrade wakemakers has for the V? Looks like you can easily upgrade from the 400# bags in the back to 610 on each side. That should help.

    Got "pulled over" by the local lake police

    I'm still very new to the boating world. Got the boat last year. I'm super safe and conservative when it comes to anything safety and I feel like I know al the rules. But Maybe I don't.

    So...

    Got everything up and going this weekend. It was as seamless as they described. GPS hooked on immediately. Speed was constant withing .2 mph, but usually dead on. Def a nice upgrade.

    Thanks. I did upgrade the ballast system to the gravity 3 from wakemakers. All kinds of debris came loose and I did my best to wash it out and drain it, but I bet I got something in there.

    What an awesome upgrade. Would highly recommend. I haven't put an actual timer to the fill and drain times, but I think it fills 3 1100# bags in 6 or 7 minutes. Seems like they drain faster.

    Awesome! my thru holes are complete. I have put the boat back in the water though. It was about 90 here and I ran out of gas and forgot the heat gun to work the hoses on. Feel good about it...

    And when you guys say "suck gate" is that the actual brand, or are you just saying any of these side mounted suction wake plates? I have now that came with the boat, not sure of the brand off hand,...
