007, we got some great pictures of your surf boat from behind.

BoatCrazy, at 60 years of age you sure can fly around the lake. Thanks for letting our kids get a chance to ride your sons board and sign it.

@buckbuck It was an honor to have them do a "Memorial Ride" along with the others that made it happen. Thanks for the great shots of the ride (hope to still be doing it at 70). Thanks for the AWESOME event pictures. We can always count on you getting those great shots.

[Boat Crazy]

Hellooooooo @Mrs. RiverRat ! Nice of you to join us. Now River Rat cannot stretch the truth anymore.

 

[Mrs. RiverRat]

Thanks all! I'm so excited to ruin all of @RiverRat 's fun. Haha. Just kidding. Honestly though thanks for being so welcoming and friendly to us newbies. Our family had a blast and we're currently taking out a second mortgage to pay for all the new toys we want. Stand up paddle boards, water mats, kiddie kayaks, wake surfing gear,....this trip is turning out to be way more expensive than anticipated.

Awesome pictures @buckbuck. Makes me want to go back in time.

Someone took a picture of us heading in Saturday from the raft up but I'm not sure who it was. I'd love to see that picture.

@Aaron Stammet

It was great meeting you this weekend. Per our discussion at the top of the ramp, this is the winch I switched into:

Others have gone with the two speed Fulton F2, they might chime in.

I ordered the 2 speed ! Fulton FW32000101 F2 Two-Speed Trailer Winch with Strap - 3200 lb. Load Capacity

It was $100 cheaper then the single speed 2,000 pound one ! No idea how !

It's all your fault @Aaron Stammet . You just cost me more money. Hard to turn it down. GREAT PRICE. Just ordered. @mattschepker , your next. Just keep your old winch to reinstall when you get that new boat.

 

[mattschepker]

man oh man!!!!! Becky is going to love this one. I just bought it too. @Aaron Stammet and @Boat Crazy thanks for spending our money. I might need a couch to sleep on after one LOL. #3200 LBS, I need to look at the original winch to see what that one is rated for. It should be a piece of cake to winch the boat up now. When Becky say's "why do we need this the other one is FINE" I will tell her I bought it for her so now she can winch the boat up as I drive the boat up to the stop. WIN WIN for Me

 

[ar240owner's Wife]

@mattschepker you need a shovel for the hole you digging with Becky ???

 

[mattschepker]

Just think @SX210Owner's Wife, when Becky finds out we can be roommates. you have a new couch, that's a plus for me LOL!!!!!
