That pristine water is in the mid 50’s most of the year 🥶
the first time my fat ass tried to wake surf was there in early October of 2019 for a bachelor party. I jumped in and at that moment I knew I fucked up. The guys who we paid to take us kept us out 2x as long as we paid for, got a hell of a tip and got us riding with some of the "pro's" Lake Austin is a cool spot for sure, but cold as shit water from the bottom of the dam

New heads for this beast are on the way and so is a new 8,000watt stereo.

Im thinking about bringing it to Havasu and trolling around outside of Thompson Bay a little bit before parking it in the channel and blasting some music😜

Nice boat! What size is she and if you don’t mind me asking, what is a “wholesale” price compared to retail on something like this? You can pm me if that helps.

Work has started. I made some good progress today. Got the engine stripped down to a short block and laid the new heads on. Im going to wait to torque until morning so as not to screw up my reassembly procedures.

Why new heads? Engine problems? How many hours? Or just wanted better performance?

The engine had an idle surge and it failed a leakdown test on multiple cylinders. head gasket was weeping on cyl1 and multiple others were showing leakage of 40-70% by the valves. hours are up there but the cylinders still have a good deal of crosshatching.

Idk how it happened but somehow I found some time for one of my own boats today; not a lot of time, but some. I managed to get the transmission flushed, oil changed, auto bilge pump replaced, and some wiring repair done.

The engine even made a couple hints at maybe even wanting to start. the bad? I think I let her sit too long and the fuel pump is shot. Its an in tank pump under the floor too. Fml.

However, just happy I was able to accomplish something (albeit small) on one of my own damn boats for a change.
