I'm just messing with him.

Zman, I'd pass on that jack plate, get yourself a new one.....I'm sure Brew could hook you up.

They sure do help out.

 

They claim it;s like adding another foot to your boat..... I dont know they dont make jack plates for inboards....

 

I edited it, ya happy now.

 

Edited what?

I was talking about jack plates.

 

I know they help out tons... and if that one is included, then I'm gonna take it. If not, well, I'll be using the excess from my student loans to buy yet another boat toy...

 

Hey I got a favor....

Does anyone have pics of people tubin' behind thier boat?

I was just looking through the pics from last year and I'm wondering if the rope isn't to long, wonder if thats why they are getting a face full of water the entire time. They are almost outside of my wake.

 

I didn't know if you knew I was talking to Zman about the jackplate and not you cause of the joke about jackplates on inboards.

 

Getting sprayed in the face:

 

Here is a couple of examples......

A close up but you can see they are in teh farthest part of teh wake....

I'll just post links casue they are big

Ignore the dates, camera date has never been set and somehow got turned on for these..... this was Memorial weekend last year.....

 

Looks like she is just about in the same part of the wake as mine... so why are they getting water blasted so bad...

This guy I have been on the water with since I started going beofre I got my boat. He didnt complain until I put the floor in and replaced the prop......
They claim they cant open thier eyes for the water spray when behind the boat.

 

Ohh ok, yea I knew who you was talking to, sorry. I honestly have no experince with them just what I've heard.

 

Well, where the rope connects to my boat is only about 6" off the water, so that is mostly my problem. I just hand the people some goggles and tell them to deal with it.

 

different hull styles, motors,the amount of weight in the boat and speed make a huge difference in the wake the boat throws. Thats why most ski boats have ballast tanks in them that you can fill or empty to create bigger or smaller wakes. You just gotta adjust everything to get the right wake according to the cofiguration of the boat that day.

I have heard a lot of good things about the new E-TEC motors from Evinrude.

Seriously thinking about a 225 HO E-TEC for my bass boat.

 

I think thats part of mine too, I am about 4" above the gimbal ring so about 6"-8" above the water..... I am getting a pylon for this year..... just have to find one tha twil work for bot hthe boat and not interfere with the cover.
