Had our week of vacation during the record setting heat wave here in NW Illinois. Great to have a boat and lake to cool off in. Boat has been running great pulling skiers, boarders and surfers....

OK MLA, you the man. I tried what you said and got the amp on. I then used the open accessory toggle to power it up. Works great. Kids couldn't be happier, though my wife is questioning my sanity....

I didn't check the battery voltage, but it's a brand new deep cycle with a full charge. I verified that the RCA plugs are in fact output. The two tower speakers are wired from the amp to the like...

My son switched from a RTP to double boots and is having trouble starting. I've always skiied with a toe plate and dragged my back foot starting so I can't give him any pointers. He is 6'2" and 175...

OK, so the kids have been bugging me for tunes while they surf. I run a shoestring operation here so just trying to set up something basic that makes noise. I picked up a couple Pyle tower speakers...

Wow. Now I know what's inside my '99. That's unbelieveable. Thanks for posting all the pics. Good luck on putting it all back together.

Thanks Roo, that was my suspicion. If I have time, I'll be digging in this weekend.

Make sure you check your oil level frequently. I've got a brand spanking new motor this year that was probably the result of not keeping an eye on my oil during a hard week of running surfers on...

I've been away from the board for a while, but it looks like everybody is playing well together again.

When I put my '99 Outback in the water last week, I noticed the swim platform brackets were...

I agree with Deerfield on the OB. I've got an older one with 800 hours and it has been solid. My family was hard core skiers when I bought it and now are hard core surfers, with an occasional ski...

I love how this thread goes back to '04

We've got the rope with the small T handle, but to be honest, our whole crew starts by holding the knots well in front of the handle. Saves you from having to pull over the wave.

I was joking about swamping, but do take one over the back on occasion. When the water is calm, I can pretty much stay dry, but when there are other boats out that are not cooperating and I have to...

Deerfield - There is a really nice Wakesetter on ACL that is the only other boat out there surfing. We're aren't too far from them with the wave. Theirs is definitely longer, but not much taller. Now...

This is about as good of a wave as we can get behind our '99 Outback. Lots of playing around with position and weight. We've got 800 across the back, 600 on the surf side next to the doghouse and...

If that is the prop I need for surfing on my '99 OB, I'd be in as well.

So I've been away for a few months enjoying the snow and ice. Returned to the forum recently and have been poking around and catching up. All the usual suspects are still hanging and moderating -...

Very, very subtle weight shifts. A small change makes a big difference. Be patient. We were all used to leaning back against the rope and the process for surfing is a dramatic shift. Like they said,...

That's a sweet looking wave. I feel a V in my future. Maybe I'll win the lottery, keep the DD for morning ski runs and hook up with and LSV or and OBV for surfin'. A man can dream...

We continue to play with the weight in our older OB DD. This past Saturday evening, we had our best wave of the summer. We had 800 across the back, 650 along the surf side, 300 on the seat in front...

Yeah, I would have gone up to Volo, but I was starting out from Apple Canyon and had to go to La Crosse on business anyway, so it worked out well. Bought my first good ski (EP Comp) at Munson in Volo...

I ended up taking it to Skipper Buds in Madison. Got to say they treated me and my poor old OB well. Dropped it off right at closing on Monday, they stored it inside and it's ready to go today. Jerry...

Well, I ended up taking my OB to a dealer for service on the trans as I didn't have the means to do it myself. The end result of having the wire from the blower hose wrapped up in between the coupler...

How long did it take you to get to the point where you are flying like that?

Here is a shot from my families entry in the Chapman Lake Flotilla on the 4th several years ago. My Dad and brother-in-law really get into it. We won several years in a row and this was one of the...
