    One picture of your last outing.

    Finally getting to enjoy the thing. It's a big change to be certain, but it's starting to get a feel for it. Yes Utah Lake, we're from Orem and launch out of Provo. We were reading 4ft out of the marina there. It is looking a bit bleak for the next couple months...

    One picture of your last outing.

    Made it out Friday evening and conditions were beautiful! Only our 3rd time out on the new Supreme S220. First time out the we discovered the side wake plates weren't working. Got that resolved. 2nd outing, the kids had fun swimming, verified the fixes, but got blown off the water as soon as I...

    rod/cup holders

    I took some rubber tubing and routed the drains to the center of the rear cleanly access. I coupled them with a T-fitting and into the deck drain/scupper hose and fixed them to the hose with zip ties. Using this method allows you to connect the lengths of tubing prior to installing the cup/rod...

    What did you do to your boat today?

    Approved✅️ Have a great time out there! Maybe tie the thing off or make a leash to attach during your transition.

    400K+ Pavati sunk

    They just retrieved it about 2 weeks ago. Which makes sense due to the fact the water levels are still down and just starting to rise from spring run-off. Probably about 20-25' down from September. This time of year the water temps are probably between 65-70°. I thing AWP said 70° in their video.

    400K+ Pavati sunk

    I did catch those. I think he goes a little more in depth at the intro to AWP's video on the recovery.

    400K+ Pavati sunk

    He uses the term "insensitive idiots" in referring to others with your theory. I do not intend to accuse or identify anyone here with the same label. Just spreading information as I find it.

    400K+ Pavati sunk

    I'm a follower, he puts it some interesting content. Heavy does come across as pretty arrogant, but I think he's well intentioned. My wife can't stand to listen to him, accusing him of constant man-splaining. Lol! I see that and kind of look past that. From day one his content has been various...

    400K+ Pavati sunk

    Here's the Adventures With Purpose side of the story. Heavy gives a little more detailed explanation of the circumstances in their video. If factual, it sounds like Pavati needs to develop a new drain plug. Sounds like it had some kind of quick-release.

    Slingshot mothership vs boss hoss

    I'm glad it preformed so well! I would recommend the WF-1 board over the WF-2. I have the WF-1 and it's been great. I've heard report from a few sources that there have been a number of the WF-2 boards breaking, including 1 I had sold. Slingshot then warranted a replacement with a WF-1. The one...

    Surfing / Engine Water Damage

    I don't think there's been any report of damage to an engine from this, certainly not any I've seen. The hard start is an issue I can confirm. We usually were only trading between either my wife or I riding and we got the the habit of leaving it running while we made the transition. I never felt...

    Possible new tow vehicle.......Lets hear thoughts from the gallery.......

    My past 3 trucks have been GM, and am admittedly pretty stuck on the brand. There's a familiarity with them and I've preferred their styling up to now. I claim I'm willing to consider other options and I'm not certain my next truck will be a GM, it's yet to be seen... I'm not disappointed with...

    Possible new tow vehicle.......Lets hear thoughts from the gallery.......

    My first truck was an '05 Silverado with the 5.3L. I put that rig to work pulling several different trailers including a 36' camper, ATV trailer with a side-by-side and 2 4-wheelers, my parents 4 Winns, and was the truck I owned when we started our cabinet shop hauling rented 18-20' cargo...
