The shim-kit is only $30 (or so) + shipping, well worth it.

The guy who owned my 2005 Launch 21V prior to my buying it, hit the 1235 on the trailer when loading. Sure, there is just barely...

Since we're already way, way off topic ... what is it that she doesn't like about Austin? Everyone I've spoken to seems to love it there...

Private Lake Owner?! Man am I j-e-a-l-o-u-s...

Here's my two cents on how you'd go about that. I have seen similar setups, but my impresion of yours may not be accurate. So I could be way off.....

Kane - Interesting story on the OBV. I did attempt to "buy" the OBV. The local dealer put them up at a local, no reserve "auction" to clear out last year's models. At least that's what he claimed....

Wow, Kane, you have an amazing memory. Yes, I have a 2005 Supra Launch 21V.

I also have a 2000 Moomba Kanga, but that doesn't have a wake plate ;-). I also plan on selling the Kanga soon because...

When I put my wake plate in the lowest position possible (for slalom), it is flush with the bottom of the boat, almost like an extension of the bottom -- continuing back.

I always assumed this was...

I recently upgraded to a Supra Launch 21V (2005 model).

You can add me to the list. I had the same problem, but did not find the thread prior to my attempt to deal with it.

In my case, I...

When I tested the "Boat Builder", it seemed it would always simply want to take my information to forward to a dealer.. Perhaps I should go a step further, will try that now..

UPDATE: Perfect --...

BTW - While I'm on the topic of trying to determine MSRP before going to the dealer, is there any place where the option-pricing is published, for example the "Performance Package Pro" is the package...

Ed-
Yes, I was thinking either Orlando or Lake Placid. Orlando is a longer drive, but I had thought they had more inventory, being the wake/ski capital of the world :-). After visiting the link...

Ed, I had no idea you did this stuff professionally, that's awesome!

I'll take you up on that offer for sure, once I've got a design I'm happy with.

Thanks so much!

Of course. I'm just trying to get my ducks-in-a-row before doing that, because I've got a 3 hour drive to the dealer and I'd like to be pretty comfortable with the academic stuff prior to looking at...

I did a bit more searching. It seems there is no tournament-standard like the AWSA has for everything relating to slalom.

However, I seem to have read, more often than not, that 7' above the...

I'm down in Palm Beach County. There should be several, I suppose, but I'm not sure how I would evaluate one versus another. I suppose I'll just go through the Internet yellow pages and start...

I have seen that mentioned once.. Monster, who is probably one of the larger after-market manufacturer's, claims 7' over water height.

But I've never been able to find any "official" notes along...

Ed- Great points, you're absolutely correct!

I'm not exactly sure where to go to fab aluminum parts. I suppose I'd have to upgrade from a welding shop to a machine shop that has a plasma CNC or...

Yes, definitely, I understand the number for tower-to-ground would be hugely different.

I was not looking for tower-to-ground measurements, but more of tower-to-waterline in the boat, or...

Wow, this is awesome information, thanks guys!

I would definitely have it fold up. I hadn't considered folding down, but now that it was mentioned, I better understand the comment about the wake...

EdG didn't have an answer for me, and suggested I pose the question here..

Anyone have any idea of the distance between the top of the wakeboard tower and the water? Or the tower and the floor? ...

Ed-
I'm a software developer, so the AutoCAD is more of a hobby, been working with it since college (pre-Windows version). I gave up on 3D tools like SolidWorks a long time ago -- I stick with the...

Has anyone ever pondered (or actually gone through with) having a retractable hinge made for the ski platform?

If I decide to go with the new boat, I'd like to fit a little more of it under our...

It looks like it's the 1" on the 2009 and later. The fittings appear to be available here:

The 3/4" you'll also need:

The 1"...

The big concern about the tower is that I have to unfold/fold it every time we put it on the lift, and we leave the bow buttoned (a requirement, because the bow sticks out past the lift awning).
...

Oh, one more question while we're talking about depth of the boat. Is the Supra 21V Launch even deeper than the LSV?

I had thougth SC would use similar molds for the Launch/Mobius, but I saw a...

@Ed - Thanks for that, I'll plan to come either way, in that case.

I'm really bummed to hear the tower on the OBV is inferior and there is no option to get the LSV tower. Makes me wonder just how...
