Right after I cleaned the entire boat I decided that would be a perfect time to punch a huge hole.in it for a trash can. Grabbed a hole saw and went at it.

this is the 3d printed trach chute that Chris prints out. Has a matching threaded nut you screw on from the back. This one has a flap on it as well which is nice so it's not just an open hole.

installed in the boat and trash can slid inplace under it.

Interesting, any pictures of the trash can in place?

Well we made it back from our week in Arkansas. Got the boat fixed the day before we left so we didn’t have to worry about the plate flopping the whole way home. Still need to water test for leaks.

My son got up on skis for the first time and now wants to do it all the time.

And my wife is snapping selfies as she pulled me surfing. We really dropped the ball on taking pictures this last week. Oops.

Had a great birthday weekend even with the triple digit temps. The wakeshade extended Bimini makes a huge difference. So glad we got it. Tried out the crib sheets on the back locker doors. Worked pretty well to keep from burning feet on the light grey vinyl.

I caught this Moomba Mobius LSV escaping the shade around the corner from our houseboat.

Ole Ron was version 1.0 from Chris. He had to measure everything out after I punched the hole. Had a flap but took it off, was too cumbersome for the kids and little hands. Straight through was easier. The pass through is so nice!

Nothing like the feeling of drilling a hole in a perfectly good boat.

Chris is the man for coming up with these gadgets.

Going on 3 years with it on Ron. Lol. He measured it all out for me after I drilled the hole out. He came up with the trim ring and locking ring like it was nothing. He's great!

Happy Birthday! Looks like a perfectly fine present too! One that a man would find useful! LOL!

Thanks! Yep it was put to good use, they go down quickly when it’s hot and their ice cold.

I've been a ghost these days...

July was a week in the middle of Idaho. 80-86 degree water. Temps in the upper 90s, but still 78 degrees at 11pm = no motivation for campfire .

Literally having the lake to ourselves with no other boats doing anything. Smooth water almost every day well into the afternoon.

(See pic for mirror glass at 3pm!)

My son is now 17 and leveled up on both wake and surf. And he did almost all the boat driving for me and took the boat on/off the trailer and did the nose ups for my pickup-dropoff.

Almost 400 miles 1 way to get there over 2 brutal passes, but worth it. Over 100 gallons in the boat and well over 100 gallons in the truck.
