I am trying to do my best to make it better by putting 50lb. bricks in the back of it...

ive riddin behind my buddies Malibu and it is soooo much better

boyz, i need some testimonys of u rippin it up behind ur shitty boats, and what you did to make it better suited for wakeboarding

I don't consider my boat shitty at all. It is a far cry from a "real wakeboat" but it serves me quite well for now.

Check out the boat discussion section for tons of info on improving non-wake boats. Cool

The DIY section also has tons of great advice for improving boats.

If you have a 'crappy boat' learn your basics. Can you do all 8 180's?

Get to work.

Tahoe Q7

Added a tower.
Added 2 x 440lb FatSacs.
Added PerfectPass.
Added a big mirror.

... result was a decent wake boat for $29k new.

HERES WUT MY BOAT LOOKS LIKE:
i can do frontside 180s, but im working on my inverts right now cuz theyz soo tight... ya and mabey i was a lil harsh calling my boat shitty, at least i have sumthin to give me a pull right

hey howabouttheiris, wuts a perfectpass? and ya thats sounds a nice boat for 29k

Perfect Pass is a brand of boat cruise control.
It allows you to set a speed and have the boat keep to it automatically.

It is standard on most wakeboats now.

Dude i ride behind a shitty boat to, i guess it aint a crappy boat but i isnt for wakeboarding at all (2004 Monark King 190 w/ a 115 outboard) At least i get to ride behind somin, I am interested in getting a bigger wake too. My buddy is givin me a pull behind his mastercraft X-5 a little too and another freind lets me ride behind his moomba to.

derrickw41, i'd suggest getting the basics down before jumping to inverts. Can you go W2W?

howabouttheiris · Addict Joined: 16 Jun 2005 Posts: 677 City: Austin, TX

Here is mine...

It throws a solid wake and is a good all around boat. (wake, fishing, boozing, riding, etc)

I would consider yourself lucky no matter how "shitty" your boat is. I have been riding for 10 years now. I went from a bass boat to a mastercraft, now guess what i have the joy of riding behind? a 14 foot aluminum with a 25hp. The only thing it is good for is ridin rails. So just be happy you at least have something to ride behind.

ya i can do w2w with ease but only if there is weight in the boat... and i can get HUGE air behind my buddies wakeboard boats...

The problem is your from grap

Just add more poundage like 300-400 in back and that or a little more up front. Theres plenty of fat chicks on the range to, offer them some hot dogs and your good to go. Cool

i think id rather ride behind a canoe than load my boat with "big" ladies... but thanx for the advice ethan... (im actually looking into some fatsacs)

btw ethan... i live in Woodbury, MN... and i ride pretty close to steamboat/leech... it would be about a 20minute drive from my lake in grand rapids (called deer lake) to Steamboat lake,, and we is both 17, soo send me a PM or somethin if you get this

LFPIMP- Theres lakes in the 701? Laughing

Where do you ride, i'm like 2 hours from you.
Are there any shops in fargo?

nickl011 · Posted: Jul 21, 2007 3:20 pm Post subject:

Ethan31, No, there are no lakes in the 701 sadly. I ride Fish and Pelican Lake in Pelican Rapids, MN. The shops I go to are Scheels in fargo, and Paramount sports in fargo. Scheels has the best selection, of Ronix, Hype, and LF.

Never heard of Steamboat Lake, where is it?

EDIT: I see you ride on Leech, I've heard of it before, is it in Becker or Ottertail?

Ethan31 · Posted: Jul 21, 2007 7:38 pm Post subject:

Steamboats a smaller lake 30miles south of bemidji.

Leech is in cass county, pretty good size lake.

If your in the area hit me up.

jjaszkow · Posted: Jul 21, 2007 8:05 pm Post subject:

Rode the motorcycle past Leech about 2 months ago .... looks like a nice lake.

I live around there too I ride maple lake or sometimes Long Lake

Im a fuk you up LFPIMP , queer biatch

nickl011 · Posted: Jul 22, 2007 5:57 pm Post subject:

derrickw41, Shut the f_ck up punkass wigger, go chew your doggy toy.

DangerousDave, cool, I know where Long Lake is, I may have to come riding down there.

jjaszkow, My parents are selling the place on Fish, and we're moving to Lizzy Crying or Very sad

Ethan31, Will do. Mr. Green

jjaszkow · Posted: Jul 22, 2007 7:39 pm Post subject:

LFPIMP, can you PM me the MLS # or more information? It's probably out of my price range right now, but doesn't hurt to ask. Rode Lake Melissa last weekend, and it had better butter than I've ever had on Pelican, so I'll probably be shopping over there instead anyway. There were a couple of guys ripping it on a CSX220 that just put us behind the Bayliner to shame. (To at least have some on topic content).

Sucks that you're leaving the lake, but Lizzy isn't bad (assuming you are talking about the lake on the other side of 59) ... and I bet your folks might be saving some on property taxes. You should convince them to upgrade your boat with any profits / savings they get Cool

nickl011 · Posted: Jul 22, 2007 8:46 pm Post subject:

jjaszkow, Yes it is Lizzy on the other side of 59, its on the south shore. Its twice the house, for the same price. I'm a little bummed, we've had our place since the early 80's

As far as the boat goes, Pop wont budge an inch, he says it'll probably be the last boat he owns, which is a little depressing. I'm trying to start off by trying to convince him to buy use a jetski for wakeskating.

Would you like info on my place, or the lizzy place.

derrickw41, Dude. Who threatens to "fuk" people up over the internet.
Don't bring your punkass stuff in here. Just leave and bother somebody else with your mindless stuff you woot.
