    do spring over on the trailer. Or a lift to clear the driveway.:D

    Spring over worked well on my small boat trailer to tow the whaler on the beach. The back end doesn't drag over the dune anymore

    Just an update on my sweet boating adventures. Got a new boat (1960s starcraft) for 1250. Had to replace the outboard but that wasnt too hard. This is a big step up from my last vessel which had a little 25hp on it. Got a new (1970s) 85 evinrude on her. This beast does 40 pulling a tube with 2 people and 4 people on the boat. All aluminum.

    Heres my old boat which i has posted a few years ago.

    i like the shield, the air vent doesnt really do much for sending air through the deck area while your crusin. I just stick my head up. Its definatly more designed for a lake with some calm waters. In any waves the bow tends to go into the waves and cause you to have to slow down. Thats really the only complaint i got about it. It still has the original speedo/ radio in it too!! But its currently not working. Also a bimini top would help for those sunny days.

    Nope, but you have the closed bow, wraparound windshield, and no tower

    Since you have a slalom boat now you need to make a trip down and practice. We live endless summers

    Thanks man! Quite the perfect setup except we should have dually's, thats overloading the rear axle by about 600lbs if not more. Have put many thousands of miles on without any problem. The twin turbo engine is a HUGE help

    You HAVE to try wakesurfing. Most fun you can have behind a boat at 10mph, my 57 year old mom got up on her third try without ever surfing before.

    Try trimming the motor up, it'll raise the bow. It might go faster too, but you're probably already exceeding it's designed speed with that power.
