Amazon . They are just a Taylor Made product. Get them on sale for about 20-25$: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MJHF4I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Those are pretty dam awesome. Gonna have to get some

I didn't do this today, but over the last couple of weeks I (with intermittent help from my harem (four daughters and the wife)) cleaned/polished/waxed the hull, replaced the scupper, re-did the drain, added tower racks, a big tower mounted mirror and an underwater LED. Yesterday I did the first for me oil change - on land replaced just short of what I took out and then put her in the water for the final oil level check and because it was such a nice evening took dinner and stayed until after dark to check out the LED.

Swapped out my wake/wake fingers for wake/surf and wake/kneeboard fingers!!

Are they referred to as fingers or forks? I've seen it both ways.

I installed a 10" subwoofer along with its wired remote gain switch. I'm also testing out a new satellite radio antennae and its location.

Honstley I have no idea. I went to amazon and entered wakeboard forks and wakeboard fingers both gave me rack results. So I guess 6 one way half dozen the other?

At the recommendation of the many fine individuals in this forum (and the few who are a bit suspect) I replaced my bow roller today. No more than a 10 minute job which included opening the package. It was easy to replace on my trailer because I don't have the bow stop welded yet. Once I took pressure off of the winch the bow stop floated far enough away from the boat to make installation easy...there was even enough room for me to apply some polish and wax to that area before replacing the roller. I could see the ten years worth of rough treatment by the original roller.

Thanks again to this forum for all the help, insight and info!!!

I finally finished removing the hydro turf and installed the new sea deck teak on the swim deck and bought two low freeboard fenders to hang off the back for backing into the dock. tomorrow I install the new engine hatch seal.

Are you backing into the same dock? Might be easier to hang these on the dock.

Are those the Yamaha swivel rack mounts you have installed or a different brand? Happy with them?

....looked at it.
and that's all the love it will get for a while.
Work blows

Today I did an oil change. And ran the engines with new Acoustiblok sound insulation.

Today, I attempted window tinting for the first time........ Looks good from a distance...not so much up close. It didn't cost me much for the cling-on tint so I am not out anything if I remove it. I will leave it on to see if I like tinted windows and if so will probably pay a "pro" to do it right LOL

Today was keelguard.

Then warning and high output decal removal.

Today it was me and 4 kids out on the boat. Haven't even properly cleaned it yet. But the new air pump I put in worked like a charm to pump up that tube and they got thrown all over the lake. From that vantage point, not a one complained that the boat was dirty.

And, the stereo worked awesome with the new Polks. Sounds very nice. I am a happy man.

Sorry, no pics. I was busy having fun.

I finally got my down rigger for the rear table receiver put together. I also got 4 new tires...I think the ones I replaced were originals from 2005!

Oh! A down rigger! Yes!

Er, ... what does it do?

Sorry for the dumb question. But it does look impressive. Second only to @Sotally Tober 's setup.
