The pylon is very strong and is high enough to keep the rope mostly out of the water to reduce spray in the rider's face.

One thing that I do is offer crash goggles to the rider. You don't want...

+1. Trade it for a day with better weather. Preferably use a weekday when the lake isn't crowded.

These things didn't last long on the market. It's not just the height of the fall. It's the fact that if it flips, you get a pile driver effect with the full weight of the thing coming down on you....

I am glad that I drilled instead of cut because I had to abort the F2 installation and reinstall the original jack for a while. The supplied split lock washers were very soft metal. They were too...

Note that some of these plates are sold without a hold drilled through them to allow the old, single trailer bolt to come through. In order to avoid further delay, be prepared to drill a 1/2" hole...

I should have mentioned that. If there is a foot of chop on the water, go riding! Everything is still frozen up here, unfortunately.

I think that what you would want here are Clincher waterski gloves:

They do not hook or loop on the handle at all. The straps transfer some of the load...

I start with (and sometimes end with) deadlifts. It's the exercise that best emulates wakeboarding. Rows in various directions help too.

I tried unhooking it at the steering wheel and dumping oil into the cable's sheath. That didn't work. The cable was too far gone. I also tried the trick of drilling a tiny hole through the sheath...

No way! I just wish that I could have afforded a wakeboarding boat when I was in my twenties. I got a house instead, way ahead of my friends. Then came the 18' runabout with small truck to tow it....

Your risk level is pretty low at 29. Is it in the water? That would give it a heat buffer as well.

I actually did stop, brought in a rider who was being closely followed by two PWC's jumping our wake, followed them to where they later stopped, and told them exactly what dangerous things they were...

I went through much the same thing. Prior to 2006, the LSV had a shallower freeboard. It might have been the exact same hull as the OBV (someone feel free to correct or confirm). It's more like a...

Negotiation is certainly possible. It might take a bit of time, as the dealer and manufacturer "work" on the deal.

I can say from experience that it's hard to make dealers compete with each...

What is the mechanism that Mastercraft uses to judge weight? Is it a flow rate meter, an actual float in the tank, or something else? It it's simply a timer, that's not going to provide an accurate...

Those are very handy photos!

The problem of the tongue decompressing, or just any small downhill trailer movement, can be avoided by chocking the wheels and then putting the truck into neutral and...

Since they are specifically made for boats, they'll be a better bet than any product that is not made for an area that is known to have flammable fumes.

How about one or two boat heaters? http://www.theboatsafe.com

I tow an XLV with a Ridgeline. Its written specifications for towing and hauling are honest. Its handling, comfort and versatility are far superior when unloaded. It's similar in manners when...

To quote my girlfriend, "squeeeeee!"

Congrats on the new wheels. Mostly likely you'll continue grinning from ear to ear for many years to come. I see that you did not mention getting "Ford MyTouch", which is probably a good thing. ...

Have you considered this single fat sac as a solution? http://www.wakemakers.com/fly-high-inboard-surf-sac.html

The habit is so objectionable that there is a Web site about it:

What a timely thread. I've just been wondering if I have enough time before the snow flies to get a new external garage built.

I'm not sure that I want to have enough room to fit an RV... because...

For those who cannot leave the boat in the water, these heaters are specifically designed for the task:

I'd use two: one for the engine compartment and one near the...
