It was a little breezy this morning on the lake so I spot locked in a cove while I set up. Made a few passes with down riggers then started towing folks around the lake. Then stayed in my favorite cove until almost dark… can this boat get any more versatile? Stay tuned…

At my buddies lake house for our last trip before the baby comes next month. The fatsac has been a game changer. We can both surf ropeless all day long without issue. Pocket seems plenty big enough. Water is making it's way in somewhere now the ass end is under water. Oh well. Bulge will run for 10 seconds every 15 mins or so of surfing. Not a big deal. And when we're done I just run the bilge for a few once it's level. My goal this trip is to get wake to wake jumps down. Getting closer!

Yup pretty common to get water in the bilge. Many think it comes in around the seams of the hull when you get the swimdeck submerged. Others think it's around the tray. Either way, yes, you want the bilge on, and it can keep up fine.

I love that you pushing the limits of the daylight. When it's so nice out, it's hard to stop. Till a LEO tells us. HA!

My tray has been sealed, so fortunately not that. Cupholder I've sealed as well. My only guess would be the seams like you mentioned or maybe the radio.

We stay out as late as we feel it's safe to do so. If there's not any boats we'll push it late like you saw here.
 
Not sure how but today was better than yesterday. The $100 a day in gas isn't exactly fun, though. Lol! She's a thirsty hoe when you surf all day. I think with the gas I filled up with to start I'm at $300 for this trip. Ouch! Totally worth it though. If I surfed like this all the time I'd have to get a boat made for this. $300 every weekend would be insane.IMG_20210820_191800738.jpgIMG_20210820_191807919_HDR.jpgIMG_20210820_192809447_HDR.jpgIMG_20210820_192850132_HDR.jpgIMG_20210820_202353841.jpgIMG_20210820_202432160.jpgIMG_4168.jpgIMG_4166.jpgIMG_4167.jpgIMG_4167_01.jpgIMG_20210820_085539743_HDR.jpg
