Adding a wetsounds SYN2 amp for our Pro60's on the tower...
Possibly a 420-EQ also if need be, but that would be determined after having a few sets with the new amp.

Like Red57Bird, I'm gonna go find a remote tropical island and surf everyday...and probably become a pirate hahaha. You can't deny that being a pirate would be freakin' clutch. Mr. Green

tprkolbas, yea I'm not excided about dropping 500+ for the amp Crying or Very sad

but it's designed specifically for a pair or two pair of the Pro60's so its the best thing for them..

I'll be sure to post up what we think of it when i can test it out next spring.

and that mic on the eq seems like it would be a lot of fun Laughing

That setup you have sounds like it'll be sickkk

Looking at putting some tower speakers on the little Bayliner so I can try to act tough in a 17.5 ft boat that's only claim to wakeboarding is a tower and some graphics. I should really look into that mic thogh, I have been thinking of getting one, just for on-the-fly instruction. Also looking to tune up the body, maybe get in half decent shape in the off season, beef up my 6'1" 155lb frame? Haha. And try not to go insane during a Canadian winter. I have a full plate.

I always have a lot, this year.

Two new Optima Bluetops+ isolator install.

New sub enclosure+rewire tower lights so they don't catch on fire and burn the boat down.

Install auto bow ballast.

I want to take a video or photo class. I really do not have the time but I think it would be good to spend some time learning about video or digital shooting.

Just built my balance board so going to be using that in the off season to keep my core muscles up and run...not much to do with the boat..just sit and wish and wait...Got perfect pass put on a week before winterizing, bought a new board and bindings, jacket and added another ballast bag...now we play the waiting game...

TP83 · Addict Joined: 31 May 2006 Posts: 739 City: Woodside

work on my little bros truck, add bow speakers, get the windshield tinted and just do good in my classes so i get to keep the boat in chico during the spring. no set plans yet.

Wow, I was just looking through this old thread as a reminder and mine has changed since I posted this...For the Better!
I still use the balance board about 3 times a week along with cardio, working out, etc. to get ready for the season.
I said not much to do to the boat and I guess I couldn't be more wrong lol..
I now am going to be installing a bit of Wetsounds...A WS420 EQ, a Syn2 Amp, A set of Pro80's, A set of XS650s and a 10 inch Wetsounds sub, changing out the Prop to a smaller pitch, adding a Hydroturf type matting on the swim platform and working on creating a plexi-glass seperator from bow to the rest of the boat, like on the malibu's etc.
So much for not doing anything but sitting and waiting..Sorry to Hash an old thread, but I thought others could also see where they stand with what was said at the beginning lol
As you can tell im ready for the season to finally start back up!

Working everyday on my airtechnique on a trampoline.

Made together with a friend of mine, a wakeboard rack for my room.
