Attachment 24986 Had to take some wave shots. I think we found one to put on the wall.

That is super badass!

Thought you didn't like this idea? Lol

Looks good though, I'm thinking of talking to a gas tank fabricator and seeing how much it would be. Then paint it with Bedliner paint.

I liked the idea, I just was a bit wary of it due to engine fumes. but ya'all assured me that it wouldn't be an issue. Plus, I figure it'd make a great spot to keep leftover pizza warm (in airtight ziplock bags of course).

And I'm always down for a project, especially if it give me more storage.

Yeah, I could have had my buddy that does HVAC fabrication make me one pretty easy. but $70 was enough for me to spend. Stainless and aluminum are both pretty expensive these days.

Jason – When boating on the James, at the end of day do you flush engine and ballast with fresh water? I understand the river forms in the Appalachians and flows east some 400 miles to the ocean and salt water. Given that the James flows past Richmond about eighty miles west of the bay, am thinking the water is brackish and prone to causing corrosion. Interested in your experience and just how far downstream you are comfortable navigating without exposing your freshwater boat to contamination. – Stuart

Went to a new launch to avoid our low water worries. worked out great and the low wind forecast DELIVERED.

With water like this and still having 80 degree air and 67 degree water, who wouldn't be happy? (well, that is once we got rid of the tubers that were messing it up).


And with water like that, of course I'm gonna start with a ski.

Which was a blast until I got what I think was some cavitation and my ski literally lost its edge and slipped out from under me. An unexpected slap at 30mph is never fun. When i got out of the water, I looked at my ski and there were a series of chips out of it along the edge in the center of the ski. chips deep enough that white was showing through the red of the ski. I think that even as small as they were, it was enough to disrupt the flow of water on my edge and cause my ski to slide out. So I have some fiberglass resin curing on the ski and I'll sand those spots down to a nice smooth consistent edge again.

The wakeboarding delivered today as well. Bit hops on smooth water. Me likey.


And the wife got to try out her anniversary present: her 4'4" Doomswell Sparkplug. I rode it after her and it was honestly a kick in the pants. really fast and carved great. it actually felt fantastic as I rode it up the face of the wave and popped up on the top. It wouldn't surprise me if I was actually able to air on the Sparkplug before I can on my Nubstep. I still love my Nubstep, but it's great to have another Doomswell board in the family, and one with a completely different character that's a blast to ride for different reasons. They bill it as a "beginner to intermediate" board, but I think it's plenty intermediate and above. It's certainly not something that she's going to outgrow or get bored with. And I love riding it too, so it's great to have some variety in the family.
