[loudsubz]

I hear ya. Ours goes into storage in a few weeks and wont be out untill mid may, long time. I usually shut down my boat thoughts and get back into my other hobbies like speaker building and DJ'ing to make the time go by.

[zabooda]

Nine months here. Around the first of July it comes out but too busy doing other fun things. I do put the majority of my vacation time on the water and it is nice to not have rain for three months and maybe longer this year. Good boating is still there at 85 degree water, 67 degrees in the water, no wind and plenty of smoke in the air. I see the leaves are starting to change so cooler temps are right around the corner.

Last outing of the year, on the local river

Water's getting cold. First time on a board without fins. Boy does it ride way different. Really hard to get an edge.

Weather finally cleared up yesterday. Got out for a couple quick sets on the river, all the rain the previous weekend has the water kind of brown colored from all the run off.

My favorite kind! A mbit salty yesterday, but not too bad, just depends on the day.

We'd definitely choose the Trinity if it was closer to us. It's 2 hours for us through that crazy I45 construction. SBR is less than an hour down some easy country roads.

It's a 139 with 11-12 Kai closed toe bindings. Pop is almost uncontrollable huh? I don't seem to have that problem, maybe I'm riding it wrong? I've got a buddy with a one and I hear the pop is insane on that board.

Could be the boat I was riding behind too. He has an x-2 and loads 4500 lbs of ballast in there. You hit the wake and its like you hit a brick wall. I totally wasn't expecting it. So the first time I went to go w2w it exploded me so hard that my feet immediately went over my head and I landed wayyyyyyy out in the flats. Could have been a combination of the board and the wake.

Hey Beat and Boone, dont be hatting to much on that Rain we are getting.

Trust me we need it to fill our lakes back up.

Them boys in the south like Texas will take our rain any day but ill be honest i wouldnt change our rain because we never have to skip nice days on the water due to ramps being closed for a lack of water.

In those pics i posted of Cali, that lake is 130ft low now in some parts its 900ft but its 130ft low right now.

I drove over Shasta and you could several ramps 50ft+ out of the water, the entire valley was dry. The main lake had huge islands i never seen before because the water was so low.

I am short sighted. All I know is that the boat season ended for me and I am angry about that.

They can truck in water to fill our lakes and rivers. Haha

Lake Ouachita

[jdntexas]

Took the boat up to Lake Somerville yesterday to burn off some more gas before old man winter hits. Snapped this shot and thought those who enjoy mother nature might enjoy. Every October the white pelicans can be found on the south end of the lake on this little island. It's pretty cool seeing that many pelicans in one spot. A smaller group can usually be found on the NE side of the lake, too. The weather was fantastic and the whole lake was glass. It was a good day to be on the water!

It's true, Ron. In autumn, Lake Somerville turns into a beautiful lake. It's a nice blue color but there is not a lot of visibility through the water - you won't be seeing your toes when in the water.

Here are a couple more October pelican shots taken in previous years. I know I'm carryin' on like it was a flock of Bald Eagles roosting on the lake but, hey, pelicans are cool, too!

October video thread... here's another one... I'm so relieved this year. In 2010 we bought the Outback. It was fall, and we got to ski behind it a few times before winter, (20 times) then in the spring skied a bit more. but then the damn Texas drought hit again, and we lost the Summer of 2011. Prior to summer 2011, I had not skied well behind the OB, and was beginning to think I made a poor choice. We've put over 100 hours on the boat this year, and I learned how to ski.. again.. I've done better this summer than I've done in the last 5 years. The OB is a good boat!

Mark - Keep up the good work. How deep is the water directly under the ski course? - Stuart

[usaski1]

The water varies, as all our water comes from rain.. right now its about 5 1/2 to 6 feet deep.

[jimmobius]

Finally my left ankle is healing nicely and am able to function again almost 100%. I do appreciate being able to walk again without crutches. It was hard to sit around all summer here with record heat and couldn't go out. We did make up for it this Sept and Oct at our local lake and a fall trip. Still would like to get a newer Moomba or modify this one so the tower will fold to the rear of the boat with one person. Arizona is so nice....

Here's photos of my baby in the Mizzou Homecoming Parade on Saturday morning. I towed my boat down there to tow it in the parade for my old collegiate water ski and wakeboard team. Every year we tow a boat and pull "skiers" and "wakeboarders" through the parade. My tower speakers and mic came in very handy for the chants "M-I-Z Wa-Ter-Ski!" and "This float floats!"

At one point while I was wakeboarding we passed 3 alligators, two on the bank and one halfway on the bank, within a 100 yard stretch. They were each in excess of 10 ft and the two on the bank made their way into the river as we passed and the one half way thrashes a little.

Then later on in the day while I was surfing we passed another one about 10 ft or so. I've never seen a live gator out there before and today we saw 4!

[KG's Supra24]

No thanks on the gator.

I see you rode behind the mb ......

Seriously... Are gator sightings a common thing at certain times of year? I don't think I would ever wreck - and would probably be okay with wakeboarding at 35mph...

[kaneboats]

Aw, man. Y'all are making me hungry now.

[rdlangston13]

KG, of course I rode behind the MB! I wasn't going to tow the thing to the river and not ride!

Berge, we theorized that due to the colder water that they need to sit on the bank in the sunlight to regulate their body temp. In the summer when the water is warm they just hang out under water

So what are your thoughts?

Droped the boat off in Eureka Montana Monday.

600 miles of rain and being towed behind my diesel was not nice to look at. I was embarrassed at how dirty she was but the owner opted to not let me get it wraped.

I uncovered her and the inside was as clean as when i left the house. WOW that Evoluction cover is awesome

I did wrap the top eadge with sylaphane wrap. This helped creat a better seal so water wouldnt creep under the edges as easy.

All hooked up to the new owners truck

He had to know it was coming.

[mmandley]

He had to know it was coming.

Oh he did, i warned him it was going to look bad LOL. I understand his point for not covering it, he wanted to see the inside to make sure it was really as nice as i told him. I spent all day Sunday cleaning it, reconditioned the interior with Malco, sprayed and scrubed the carpets with Resolve, polished and waxed all the fiberglass inside and out.

[chawk610]

Bitter sweet I bet, seeing it go.

Looks like it is heading up my way to good old Alberta!

MB review. Tiny sun deck. If you like chilling and laying out on the sun deck, go elsewhere. Now due to the tiny sun deck the cabin is pretty large for a 21 ft boat. Bow is absolutely enormous on this thing, tons of space. Factory subwoofer is behind the drivers seat in the rear facing molded seat back (much like the supras rear facing seat back for the bench seat behind the driver) and it sounds like poo. The pure very is simply awesome, 1800 lbs of weight in 30 secs and your lockers can still hold boards with ballast full. Switches are low in quality, looked very cheap. Fit and finish of seat cushions was very good and density was comfortable. Boat has eznet type thing installed on the rear locker doors from the factory that look neat and are very functional. Boat has huge freeboard way more than my LSV. Wake board wake was super clean with full ballast @ 22 mph. Probably would still be clean around 20 or so and was not very weight sensitive. Surf wake was good with 2100 lbs but the trim plate was no working correctly so it was a little finicky.

Boat has about a million cup holders, which I liked

Yes it is, maybe you will see it up in your neck of the woods. Sounds like he has a slip and lift to keep it in. He mentioned he wouldnt be using the trailer to much lol.

Going to miss her.

[Mikey]

Happy light to fight the seasonal affective disorder.

When does boating season start again? The boat is a much more effective therapy.16486
