^^^^ I hope they are processing the Video Footage from today's big reveal .....

 

[Speedling]

Hope this posts, t mobile doesn't work here. The new system these guys have really looks neat. I haven't seen it in action but i can assure you it's being tested thoroughly! Sad it's almost over but excited for my trip to Cumberland. Oh, and my wife and i are still thrilled that we won the bags. Truly unbelievable for us!

 

[Julian]

They'll reveal (if they haven't already on another thread....we are internet challenged here).

I saw it in action and its cool. It is a wedge that connects to your transom tie down and ladder to deflect the jet wash down.....works great! Ill let them give you more details..... @buckbuck won one!!

 

[jcyamaharider]

I can give a little more pics on the system but haven't got any of the actual product yet as I want to do that in its own thread but we did some testing on @buckbuck boat with STOCK BALLAST and 2 people on the port side and one driver. Here the first pic is stock ballast no device.




You can see @sx210owner is very close to the boat. The next picture is same setup only adding the device.

@Scottintexas , Your girls age (9 and 12 for those that do not know) were awesome on the wake board. We that saw them wake board were totally impressed by their skill. Way to go girls.

[BAC.94]

Wow!!! What a great time! We loved seeing old friends and making new. Special thanks to Jim, Jeff, and Neil for putting together such a fantastic event. The boating and watersports are great, but it's the people that make this such a wonderful gathering. Can't wait to see you all again next year if not before then!

Remember Neil, from now on it's not the midwest gathering, it's THE gathering!

Damn you. . . . . .DAMN YOU !!!!!!

I am packing for Dinsey. . . . .FML

 

[Julian]

My trailer decided to act up again today! The passenger side tail light blew a bulb....and these lights are sealed enclosures! So I had 2 choices once I arrived at Riely's auto parts:

1. Buy new led fixture (s) and a drill to drill the new holes to line up with the new fixture
2. Break open the sealed enclosure and replace the bulb.

I went with option 2!

 

[Scottintexas]

12 hours driving Friday and 12 hours driving Sunday with a fun Saturday squeezed in between, PRICELESS !

Thanks to everyone who continue to organize the event and for all the members who made us feel welcome
especially @sstegh for the ride in/out and sharing you boat with us for the afternoon and @Boat Crazy for the wakeboard rides and @trace for the surfing, Tige rocks!

I'm left trying to figure out how I'm going to make it there next year with the boat and whole family ?

 

[jcyamaharider]

@Scottintexas it was a pleasure to meet you and I feel really bad that we didn't get to take you out surfing.....so much to pack into these vacations, the days are not long enough. Anyways glad you had fun and hope you can make it next year.
