Well, not really an opening day, but the first run of the boat this year. It ran great, no problems. We WERE going to go board today but RufioSwashBuckle had to do homework. Where the heck is your priorities Matt? Haha, anyways, we'll get out there this weekend. It was 80 degree's and Sunny, absolutely perfect.
Not a terrible wake if you ask me, it's a 17' 1986 Glassport 165RX I/O. No weight, one person (myself). I took the wake pictures over my shoulder, haha.

Yea...I was gonna go but my dad said it was going to storm. WHICH IT DIDNT UNTIL 8 TONIGHT! So I went to the library to study about the !kung San tribe of Uganda...It was an intersting read. LoudonTN, Dude that wake doesnt look near as bad as you described it by the way...

RufioSwashbuckle, thanks, but it's a bit more solid with more weight.

Here is kind of a closeup of the wake with like 4 people in the boat, still no ballast, but you can still see the dramatic improvement. I need to get some Sac's. (And yes, I realize the rider isn't in the wake, haha, that was pre-tower).

midwesty, hah, no, it's a Straightline Ultralite. It's a spectra line, just had all the extensions on it.
Gwakesetter, thanks Doug, yea, I'm trying to find some weight to put in it too.
