Great time at Harris Lake today! The kids and I tried wakeboarding (the wife drove the boat for the first time too).

We did not get very far - Is there anyone in the Raleigh area that will trade beer for lessons?

We all got close to getting up, but just could not get there. We must be missing a trick or technique.

I’m in Greenville. Maybe we could meet up sometime and I could show you a couple things that may help

@Eric Ballard An inexperienced wakeboarder coupled with an inexperienced wakeboard driver probably means a lack of romance that evening.

Had to wait out a 2hr rainstorm on the water for this picture! Spent the majority of that time under the bow of the boat floating on a throwable as the water at 78deg was warmer than the air with rain! Might have drank a beer or two while waiting too :)

The effort to continue the day was rewarded with this view after the storm passed.

Yea, this rainstorm was heavy enough the bimini didn't help at all. Except maybe kept the top 2ft of the tower dry. I didn't have my clear tarp with me to keep the cockpit dry, so everything was soaked. Ive seriously considered having a 3/4 enclosure built for days like this. With the air temp dropping into the 60s and the rain coming down hard, we found floating in the 82deg water and wearing a hat was more comfortable until it started raining really hard. That's when we floated up under the bow to stay out of the deluge.

I will say it was nice that the cockpit got completely soaked for hours and everything still worked exactly as it should. No wonky performance from an switches or dials. Our old boat didn't have quite as robust of an electrical system and if it rained we had to start being concerned with the electrics working properly.

I've got the boat torn apart with fans everywhere trying to dry it out this morning. I suspect it's going to take a day or two to get it good and dry again.

Had a blast this weekend with my girls going to the local beaches and had some some good food at a few local restaurants. And the last picture was from tonight after a couple hours boat cleaning on the new lift. The boat loves its new home high and dry. It’s spotless inside and out. Over coming days it will get a nice wax job. So nice having it in the backyard now!

We had a great first trip camping with both the travel trailer AND the boat. The extra round trip home was worth it. The kids had a blast and it was so nice to just go back to our little slice of shoreline to rest up and cool off in the A/C.

Sorry for a hijack (and NOT trying to be smart Alec) but... I would check that STRBD tower hand-wheel bolt/clamp - immediately. I don't like the gap there, I'd make sure it is not lose or cross-threaded.
Bad things can happen quickly if you hit turbulence.
(Don't ask how I know, lol.)
