    the rear lockers are pretty damn full I can't imagine how your 18's look all bustin out...next time I'm goin airators and possibly customs but for now my rookie *** will be happy with 2200 pounds

    If I need more weight we always got extra people so ballast is no problem..plus moving the bricks around all over the place seems to dial stuff in.

    I don't have PP and the speedo is waaay off. The wheel spins freely too so I dont know the wtf is wrong with that.. I don't know how fast Im goin so were just playin with random speeds for wave shapes

    also the oil pressure gauge just shut down all of a sudden. weird a boat with minimal hours and gauges just takin a sh*t. Everything else is working..all the lights etc

    Oh wait the gas gauge is OFF..runs out at 1/8th..we ran out AGAIN...doh...Lucky some guy with a dingy gave us 2 gallons out of the blue within 10 minutes....nice guy saved our asses

    ..wouldn't take a dime for the petrol either. I think I'll have the girlfreind bake his family a pie or something and leave it in the dingy on his lakefront bouy..and a 12 pack toboot'

      Most of the gauges have lifetime warranties. Check with your dealer. Install perfect pass stargazer. GPS speed and it's super accurate.

          Don't get too excited. He has zero new boats. It's been a bit of a struggle for them to keep the doors open with the recent economy. However, things are picking up. I was down there the other day and he is looking at picking up some new inventory. Let me know when you are headed down, I'll give him a heads up.

              finally got out to surf these past couple of days. I've been playing around with weighting alot and still haven't really been able to dial in the wave enough to surf.

              I will say the goofy side looks real clean..alot cleaner than the Port'. Port side is just sloppy with the exact weight combo and speed as the starboard

              We're out in deep water.. I have all the sacks maxed>

              1500 in the rear locker,
              2 Nautique sacks up front both full...
              1 brick on the swim deck
              1 brick midship'.
              1 observer

              I haven't been able to surf either side without the rope. No pics sorry. Maybe tommorow

                  We tried alotta' things including max taps..4..3..0..Plus its hard to tell mph without a cruise and a sh*tty speedo. We used a 5'2" Liquid Force Noserider..not a small board really. Looks like I'm gonna have to break out my 10' ft longboard to surf this tub..doh

                      Let me have at it. I'll surf that bitch.

                      So ya, Custom Boat and Marine. Not realy a whole lot of parts. Nothin you can't find local to you. I'd hate to see you make the drive down just to check it out. Not worth it. Don't get me wrong, good folks down there. If you need something Tige however, I would at least call first. Talk to Ryan. Tell him I sent you.

                        Try not filling the front sacs. What kind of board are you riding?

                          I'll bring up the Walzer and the Gen I Landlock. The old Landlock is still fast but, the Walzer is much faster. I will jump on a longboard though. I learned to wakesurf on an 8'10" Bear Mini Tank.

                            I was in RENO yesterday shoulda' popped into the the dealer.

                            no front weight?

                            no real surfboards allowed. wakesurf or nothing. sell it and get an enzo 24 right surf

                              +1. My boat doesn't like weight in the front. I had 3 people sitting in the front last week and I couldn't get the wave dialed in even though I had my custom sac full and 10 people on the boat, drove me crazy but I lived.

                                I'm heading over to the lake right now to catch some calm water...

                                and that's the first thing Im doing. Appreciate the advice

                                I'm also installing some 2" alu' brackets for the locker walls..They're just 'L' stock cut down to 2 feet to fit the floor
