NICKYPOO's Ballast Thread

[dgalindo1987]

what year boat is that? is that the orginal tank in the rear? i didnt think they were aluminum like that.. good to know.. My fuel gauge is all wacky and i would like to fix it but i wasnt sure on how but it doesn't look to hard.

Is most of the money in the fabric, or the labor?

I found a place that will do it for 2K as well. Most of the money is in the labor. It is in the shop now.

Update! Transom lights work. I didn't run with them, just flipped em on in the marina to check them out.

Those lights are the shizzle dizzle. Why buy a new boat when yours looks better than that Malibu?!

Im dying to see the updated pics of your wake. What an outstanding job you have done. How much would you charge to come to California and dial in my boat?

[NICKYPOO]

Damn, I know. Sorry. I'm super bummed about all my surf wake pics. They all, and I mean all of them suck. I seem to be the only reliable camera operator on the boat and when I'm not riding, I'm driving. I've at least 200 crappy wakesurf photos. I'm kinda bummed. To be fair, me and the wife are the only reliable surfers in the family. Everybody else is still hanging from a rope. They're yanking on the boat, floundering up and down the wake, sigh, it gets kinda old but, I love my family so...

I still need to trim my platform too. That should help a lot. Still getting it dialed in. Once I get my fat homies out, it'll be game on. Stay tuned dude, I'll get some decent shots soon. Hopefully ridin on Sun.

4k + travel expenses.

You need to check out my upholstery pics in the General Thread, I used this Spray-on upholstery from the makers of Chia Pet. You just spray, water, and watch it grow. It turned out great!

Very tempting, I need to see some wake pics tho

[NICKYPOO]

Well, here's what I got. I will get some better pics in the next few weeks. These pics are I'm gonna make the wife drive while I shoot.

Wakeboard- 22mph, taps 1 (Ithink), both rear ballast full (~900#), 70' rope
Surf- 10.6mph, taps 4, starboard full (~450#), two girls in back, 15'rope
Slalom- 28mph, taps 1, 15 off

its looking promising

It's in there. It just gots to come out. All those wakes are better than what is shown. That was the first wakeboarder I had towed with the new set up and that pic is just before turning around. The surfer was a noob. Those pics are literally his first time. The slalom wake does start looking decent until you get up to 34mph. Then it really starts laying down. That pic is 28mph. I will get some real shots.

[NICKYPOO]

Pics!

Finally had the wake pretty dialed in.

[NICKYPOO]

My homie. Finally enough wake for him to ride the Walzer. The Walzer is too small for me and he has me by 10-15 pounds.

[NICKYPOO]

My first time on a wakeboard in... well, several years. At least three. The wake just looked like too much fun. Had to hit it. I need to add a section of rope though. I could have easily taken anything into the flats. I was just easing into it.
