    That looks like you've got the magic formula down, er recipe I guess. Great post

    Great write-up. Looks like a well executed install. I really love that launch feature of the GSA. I haven’t been able to try one or test it but your description is money for wake boarding.

    Wow. That's a modern look! Love it. Thanks for sharing this

    Awesome mod. Thanks for sharing

    @Leebo great work. I like the look... why did you choose this over EVA foam? I go back and forth. And what's the difference between "Jim's PVC loop" vs "Dekadence"? Thanks!

    That carbon fiber vinyl is so simple yet looks cool. Is it hard to put on without wrinkles or air bubbles?

    If my math is right, I'd say it looks 1000% better than the oxidized chalky blue you started with. Great boat

    Nice update

    I don’t think I’ve seen water cooled amps in a boat. Like it. Love the comment about having to winterize your stereo.

    Beautiful! What did you use for the backing plates? I agree, you can't overengineer

    I dig it!

    That's cool... pretty inexpensive for a new floor. Nice. How do you like the miner's moss vs carpet so far?
  14. Number9
    So what, roughly $120 for a new floor in the main area of your boat? Not bad! i would think if you ripped up the carpet the miners moss would not slide around.

    I don't have that tower but that's a nice fix. Thanks for sharing. Straight forward.

    That looks fantastic! Nice job. What brand did you use? Is that the Mellors or something else?

    Well done. I get that mandrel bends are better but doubt you’re losing anything there. What cracks me up is how many boats have a pinched exhaust hose going into the transom anyway.

    That is awesome. $500 is nuts. Thanks for sharing it

    Fantastic. Have you updated your Wake Logic controller? I don't know that it needs anything but just curious how it has evolved.

    I'll bet that system sounds great. Clean install for sure. Where'd you get the surfs up toggle switch cover?

    5 stars for the controller. That's sweet. Those must be the faster Lencos right? Nice project. Can't wait for summer

    That looks better than many of the new purchased products

    That's a sweet install. Big block I'm guessing uses a little bigger tubing as well than most FAE installs. 3.5" tubes on each side? Nice job. Wonder if all 8.1 users encounter the same problem. Like all boat exhaust ports start the same size from the mold and then the manufacturer hastily bore the holes bigger (and uneven) to make big blocks exhaust fit. Weird that they'd be oval.

    More information about "Faster Tsunami modification"
    Still using Tsunami manual pumps and came up with a big improvement until I plumb in a permanent system, although I always like to keep a free floating bag as an option anyway... Those crappy clear 1" tubes that come with the pump kink like crazy. Restricted flow GREATLY reduces the speed of the pump and I was sick of monitoring for kinks. 1) Purchased a 1 1/8" hose from Wakemakers... larger hose allows for faster flow, but in this case it is MUCH faster because the new hose will not kink in any position. 2) The problem is, the hose is stiff and does not fit well on the pump. The larger size slips right past the 1" barb, the but the larger barb higher up on the pump fitting is too large to push the hose on, and the plastic clip is worthless. It's popped off a few times with this size hose. So, to fix you just heat it up, and quickly push the pump on. We used a small torch and heated from a distance (not to burn plastic), then pushed the hose on and let it cool. 3) After it cools, it is form fitted and you cannot even pull it off without a clamp. However, a stainless clamp was added just in case instead of the cheap plastic OEM clip. Simple, I know, but what a difference in speed and frustration using the pumps. Easy, worthwhile upgrade that makes it MUCH faster now.
