Pictures speak louder than words...

Oooooh, I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about her on the back of my boat

[dogbert]

Imagine, she and Alvie...side-by-side.

Iowa corn fed I've got picture now. (never mind)
I went to school @ ISU. We would run the railroad tracks at night for fun
A nova wheel base is the same as the tracks
It's the street crossings that make you tighten up a bit.

Hey chadster... when did you go to schools at ISU??? I grew up in Ames and went to ISU

I think you actually have it backwards. Tige went from a two piston TAPS plate to a single plate circa 2003. Whent they went with a single piston, there was no longer a place for the middle bracket. Being the geniuses that they are, they just eliminated it, assuming that 2 was plenty. After a few breaks, they then made the remaining 2 brackets a little stronger. So the newer models around 03 and 04 have a slight tendency to break. I have not heard of any swim platform breaks lately. My 2002 was much like Dog's, the brackets were extremely stout, and there were 3 of them.

I'm sure that you're right about the number of brackets, the point that I was making was that pre 2004 (approximately) there was a design flaw wherein these brackets would buckle. When I mentioned how many people where on the swim deck, I failed to mention that our three kids were our three youngest (and smallest). We didn't have any more weight then three adults. When I was buying my boat, I brought this issue up to every dealer and each stated that that was corrected in the subsequent year. So the bottom line is (at least in my opinion) if you have an older boat, be careful.

On our 06 24Ve, we limit it to three adults...and no jumping! We found that several of the younger riders hanging with the wrangler family found that they could kind of "spring board" off the back using the step and jumping down from the seat! No more of that...

Don't be shy everyone knows one or two, or for sure your wife does. Then you have to let them on.

1980-1984 and yes we had boats back in that day
I lived on the cain train floor (lowest GPA on campus)

For wakesurfing, of course. You also get points for being nice to your SO's fat friends
