Love the gas cans on the the platform! Reminds of the times I’d strap a charcoal grill to my outback v’s platform.

It's funny you said that we figured we would need it since we were heading down the lake for the whole day. I put the 10 gal in and later in the evening we were running on empty coming back. I REALLY started to worry we weren't going to make it back. We came around the bend to where we could see the boat launch so i breathed a huge sigh of relief......only to run out of gas about 1/4 mile away Haha

Finally out of hibernation, dust blown off, little wash down.
Exile cabin amp fixed and tuned - great customer service from the Exile guys once again.
Board pockets getting designed on bimini - finally, been wanting to do this for years.
Rear compartment carpet coming out and hydro turf going in - again, wanting for years.

This whole quarantine thing is helping get projects done.





Still debating on the fender/steps repainting to black. Kinda like I've been debating stripping the MobiusV and going naked for years. LOL


Hopefully we'll get more than time on the water this summer compared to just 20 hours last year...

I wish I could get a surf wave like that on my Max! I just can't lose that valuable storage under the seats. I wonder what it would be like if I just used the rear 1200 lb bags on that wakemakers upgrade kit?

Anyway, Zandar is finally looking comfortable again on his wakeboard. This morning we did 2 hours of hard core training using the BB Talkin communication helmet. This thing works great! He is landing backside 180s to blind from inside out. Hasn't quite landed one wake to wake yet. Then in the afternoon we went out for a pure fun session with one of his buddies. That's when he finally started looking comfortable on his board again. Hope you all don't mind me posting so many videos of him.

You could use lead bags in the midship if you need the space. The WM rear bags for the Max are actually more than 1,200 lbs I believe. They are the same bags used on the Makai kit and those are -1,345 lbs each rear bag IIRC. When you go on their site and option a 2020 Max for rear upgrade it doesn’t include the midship bags for whatever reason (my guess is they figure 2020 Max owners opted for the stock 500 lb midship bags). I know their image for the 4 bags says 1,200 lb rear bags but when I had to have mine replaced because they made them the wrong size (too short) I got new bags and on the box it said 1,350 lb bags or whatever on the box label. If you go in their site and option a Makai which uses the same bags you’ll see it also say they will be 1,345 lbs each side.

Back to the midship bags and storage space, we have moved everything to under the helm and OB storage and were surprised how much crap you can cram in there. I though we would miss the storage space too but so far we still have room and you can always stuff things in there until you want to fill ballast. The rear lockers still have plenty of room on top of the larger Wakemakers bags. I say go for it!!

Finally got the 4 year old girl in the water this year. Water temp just about 68 degrees.

I couldn't believe my ears when my wife wanted to surf today. She surfed without the rope for the first time today. The right board made all the difference in the world for her. Also, both my boys wake boarded for the first time today too. I think they are hooked...

So finally got some time to get the boat a little closer to dialed in or at least some great rides tonight. And who doesn’t like Thursday night rides. We ran autowake the full time surfing and wakeboarding and it did it’s job pretty well with only 2 guys and 2 kids in the boat. It still wanted more rear weight (~300# lead back there right now, but it’s an awesome wake without it. Nailed the wave transfer for a good solid 2 seconds. Need my other fins in as my board kept slipping outa my heels. Wake is super rampy even only at 50% amplitude and clean. Ready to get back out there.


Not the bet pic but a super fun night.!

That is the nicest cleanest boat of that vintage I've seen. Have you kept that garaged the whole time?. Looks great. Is the interior that well preserved also?
