    Yes! Exile FA SHO! Hands down!

    Speaking of ballast who has the link for the DIY IBS that you run off the center tank???

    OP- if you do any sunset/night watering LEDs in cup holders and hideaways and swap out your dash lights to whatever colors you desire! Easy Mod!

    Depends on how you want to hook it up. Some use a "Y" valve and others don't.

    Ahhh! Welcome to the "Zipper" effect!

    #1 is definitely PP (Perfect Pass) - don't leave home without it.

    Have a couple of different size vests for different size people.

    Go to a real boat/wake board shop and buy last years board/boot combo at a huge savings. Talk to the kids working the shops with their hats that look too big, they can tell you which boards are just cosmetic changes (I like the Ronix line). I bought mine this time last year at about 60% off.

    Get a good prop now. And get a second prop (or keep your old one) get a prop puller and learn to use it, they are easy to use, but is easier to learn at home with no pressure or GF asking stupid questions. I have two Acme props in the classified section for sale

    Get good tunes now. Wetsounds, Exile or Kenwood depending on your budget and likes. This is where you can really get stupid with money (trust me!) Even the crappiest wakeboarder can enjoy good music and a beverage in the sun. Give MLA, David from Earmark Marine or Phil from Kicker your budget and desires -- then double your budget

    During the season you will start getting comfortable crossing the wake and then you will go with more ballast, so just give in now!! Again you can keep checking the classified section or just give MLA or Wakemakers a call or PM. They have both helped me out a lot!

    And don't worry, there are plenty more mods to go after these.

    Some good info there! Not sure what kind of budget I'm gonna work with, but I'm just gonna go with the flow for a while and see how this all pans out.
    I have the Perfect Pass on the boat, so I'm good there. For sure I'll be looking into the ballast upgrade. I haven't heard a bad thing about it yet, so it must be good.
    The prop puller sounds like another good idea, that's one I wasn't thinking about. Didn't know how hard it would be to change. Need to find out what prop works with what combo.
    I better stick to some of those first before I get too distracted, HaHa! I need to research boards some more as I really don't know much about them. I definitely need to get a couple.
    Might look into the 2 battery setup.
    Still not sure about the tunes. I shouldn't say that, cause I'd love a good sounding boat. I'm gonna look into the systems and see what they go for in case it's something I feel I can swing.

    unless your going to sit in a cover and crank it I would install a fresh air exhaust prior to a sound system. The FAE is the best sound system mood you can do and you get the benefits of the exhaust feature. you'll find you don't need as big as a system than you thought. I agree with the PP first.

    I read up the FAE, sure seems like a cool add on. I love a good sounding exhaust, but maybe I should just leave that on the street. Like I've said before, I have never had a boat like this. So I have no idea what to expect when I hit the water in the Spring. I knew the exhaust was just below the water, but didn't take into consideration that communication between the driver/passengers and rider could be bothered by the exhaust.
    See? This really is a great place to get informed.....Even if just about all of you seem to have one hand in my wallet trying to spend some, or all of my money!!!! HAHA, gotta love it.

    Did some say they needed help spending money? I'm GREAT at that!!!

    My favorite mods are the Z5 cargo rack, IBS, and Acme 1433. Lots of other fun things to add, but those are what make me love my boat.

    The exhaust is under the water when of plain but once underway its out puff the water. Mine is so quiet that I can hear the raw water pump while under way. It freaked me out at first because I thought it was going out but it was fine.
