Checking in and saying hi!

Just one and thankfully offset so I don’t have to get on or bend over swim platform.

Good point! LOL!

Never thought of the offset in that way, always find myself scrambling up onto the platform to cinch it up….

First post in a while for me, have been awful busy with work, hope everyone is doing great, looks like I may fund myself in a location much further south and looking forward to an extended season !!

I am staying here as I don't really like the FB group that much.

Sadly, those snow skiing skills don't translate to waterskiing very well. We have a family of excellent skiers, but mediocre water-skiers. Perhaps the spirit of adventure and daring translates though.

Eventually, I hope to make my way to Norris as it looks pretty magical. Though I have a houseboat at Lake Powell, which is really the best, it would be nice to have a great week at a lake where there are restaurants, lake homes, boat houses, etc. where I don't have to worry about anchoring a massive houseboat in a manner that a it won't get blown away when the inevitable 40-50 mph gusts hit.

I am also not a fan of FB groups- when someone asks a question 90% of the responses are from folks who have no idea/knowledge/experience, but yet give an answer. So the person asking the question has to sort thru too much bull***t to find the right response. Yes lots of good info out there on FB, but too much noise.

I am also partial to forums- I am a member of a motocross forum (VitalMx) and it is very much alive and well and the go to place (over FB).

100% Here's a great example I read the other day.

Question: How to I run and weight my 2017 SE to get max from the surf wave?

Answer: Well, I weight my 2018 SA like this . . . . and do this . . . . and this is a pic of my surf wave.

As I read this, I'm thinking:
1) The surf systems were changed from 2017 to 2018 and
2) The SE and SA are very different boats.

Totally agree. I just got on Facebook in general and I hate it. I have resisted until just a few months ago, but got on for Marketplace only. Of course I jumped on the Supra / Moomba page as I assumed it would interest me. Based on reading the posts and threads for a month, for every correct or decent response, there are 50 garbage responses. I will get my info from this group. I just wished the Taptalk app still worked. Do you all use an app on your phone to read this forum?

I am still using the Tapatalk app. As a matter of fact, I am using it right now on my phone to reply. I am also not a Facebook fan either for all of the same reasons you guys just said.

Well, I re-downloaded the app and it is working for me now. I was thinking you had to pay for it, but I guess that is just if you want ad free or premium service.

Yes. I believe you are right. Oddly enough I tried to upgrade to the paid version some time ago, and it kept giving me an error when I tried to upload the payment information. So I just said screw it, and have been using the free version for years now. I think the paid version may let you upload better pictures too. Not sure. But the free version has been working fine for how I use it. Ads aren't too bad, though they all seem to be pretty corny.

Are the southern states starting to get boats out yet?

We are have 70* weather in Ohio and I know it will snow again so I'm trying to suppress my itch.

I’ve been spending a lot of time around Broken Bow Lake, if my boat was here I’d be out for sure!! Alas, its up in the frozen north!
