  1. Did you use soft white vinyl for the vertical trim?
  2. Great idea! Finally got all the stuff to do my ballast install and returning to this project. My mastercraft has two removable carpet covered HDPE type panels that meet halfway to cover the transom. Did your install remove those to fit the pumps? Also did your mounting screws go through the transom to the exterior? Could you post pictures of your install from a overhead view showing the engine compartment and from the transom exterior and anything else you think would be helpful?
  3. Nice. I use these they are thicker.

  4. @Sean Freeman what are the specs on the lights you installed? Where did you pick them up? Your boat looks pretty sweet Also where did you have get your wrap from/done did you install or have it done at a wrap shop in Alberta?
  5. want one so badly! how many btu? Also so confused you got a new boat? Didn’t you just do every project in the book on an older boat? Sold and traded up?
  6. Just read through this front to back, having read the new thread continued on from this project . It’s a great history lesson on how this project came to life from efforts of @Jhartt3, @jonthompson @jtryon @SONICJK . You guys are the Wake Garage Arduino Baton 4x Relay Team!!! What happened to @tylerstrop LCD programming team?
  7. This is fantastic. Love the extra pumps. Any power draw issues with running all the pumps at once? I’m torn between the clean install plate and all the pumps mounted in one place vs putting the pumps closer to the bags with shorter fill and vent lines.
  8. Would love to see any progress updates here
  9. Never thought to use the existing drain plugs instead of cutting new holes for the ballast. Very creative!
  10. Well done - Great photos of the process. Love the colour scheme throughout
  11. You are Very persistent! Lots of skills brought to bear for your project. How’s the spaghetti floor feel underfoot? Sailrite has videos showing how to create snap in vinyl floor using rivet style tools if you ever decide to fixate it. i’ve been thinking about ripping up the carpet as well. thanks for the write up.
  12. Sweet documentation and result. Makes those high school chemistry classes seem worthwhile. So the heater hoses can be retracted for storage extended to the shivering passengers?
  13. impressive. did you reuse the redvinyl and sew it to the beige?
  14. nice did you install a swim platform boost/lift from GSA?
  15. love scrolling through this. learn something every time 🙂
  16. Thanks SonicJK —All if that is what I was hoping to hear from someone who is really putting the system through it’s paces. Looks like I’ll be adding tabs to the boat. I’ve got some pretty short vertical areas of transom to work with though. Wanted to coordinate the timing of my projects so Center tab before or in tandem with exhaust makes the most sense.
  17. What is the merge pipe and what will it do?
  18. What does the Center tab do for your wake in different scenarios? Speeds? Water sports?
  19. Let us know how they perform in everyday use. Looks like way easier to load unload
  20. Sweet mod. What boat model year were you starting from?
  21. Looks nice. The bags get one line to the reversible pumps for water, what does the other line off the bag do in your setup? Do you have them daisy chained to other bags besides the stern compartments bags?
  22. For your down exhaust: Could you use 45 degree angled to bypass brackets diagonally? Also you could by some silver shiny spray paint to give it that metal look. Besides bringing the bow down and bringing the boat on plane faster Does your center plate also lessen your wake? What have you noticed? Not sure what you use your boat for and curious what you noticed before and after the plate. Ive thought about installing a center tab/plate that raises and lowers by switch so lessen my wake for waterskiing when not surfing or wboarding
  23. Nifty idea, i suppose grease each time you do the impeller wouldn’t be enough to stop the corrosion. Ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of cure. I’m about to order some ballast pumps so this horizontal mounting is a brilliant idea.
  24. Amazing. Curious why you went to the trouble of the muffler delete. Why not just attach your dual custom exhaust tubing? Is it to get more space in the engine compartment or mufflers no longer needed for noise reduction? Curious if your boat got quieter after the install as FAE describes on their site.
