Mine is still on the stand hahaha

We had enough warm weather after the last time I used it for the cooling system to drain. It’s only a 15hp outboard, you just keep the lower unit it in the water this time of year and it keeps things from freezing.

Just be careful, some rv antifreezes are alcohol based and aren’t great to leave in engines. Only way to tell is by the labels

Going to get down to 27° here saturday night. fuuuuuuuuu.

I’ll probably just put a drop light in the engine bay to keep it warm.

Freaking <3 this boat

^^ Nice! Those wake boats are not cheap either.

yeah we bought it brand new and got a pretty good deal on it, but that boat is the reason why I’ve been dailying a honda civic for the last 4 years lol

I was at Bluffers Park outside of Toronto yesterday and guys were already surfing. They were in the wrong spot though, the waves farther east were much bigger:

What nut was out on the river today north of buffalo along the 190 on a red ski? I paced them at 70mph in cold rain…

Wasn’t me, I can’t go that fast :frowning:

Just waiting for the water to warm up a little more…

New job has kept me busy and prevented me from doing anything to the boat. Had her out last night for a bit to get rid of some gas.

I ordered some Corbeaus weeks ago and they are out of stock everywhere, so cancelled my order for now. I may just run it as is until something happens and bail on my plans.

Picking this up on the 21st. 21’ Larson 210 LXi with a Volvo-Penta 5.0 GXi 270hp V8. Should be a nice upgrade from my 18’ Chaparral with the 135hp 4 banger. Saw it last week and put a deposit on it with the seller so I could pick it up as soon as the spring servicing was done.

Nice. You really want race seats? Is that for better head / neck support or just because it will look cooler? The ones on there already look pretty comfortable.

Your post also reminds me that I need a new water proof case for my larger phone.

I fired up both skis yesterday and found a cracked fuel line on the purple ski so I’ll be fixing that soon. The red ski is at least twice as loud as the purple one. :wiggle:

      • Updated - - -

All the more to tow that tube with :tup:

Mostly because the wood framing of my seats has seen better days. The screws have backed out because the wood it’s biting into is brittle/rotted. Corbeaus would update the interior some and offer some support and maybe lighten the load a bit and be cheaper than redoing the factory seats.

Strong engine for that boat. I’ve got the 351/265hp (Vol-Ford) in my 24 cabin, and it’s good for 42 indicated.

Yeah, I’m expecting at least low 50’s out of it with a light load, wouldn’t be surprised to see mid 50’s. More importantly (at least to me), plenty of power to haul 8 people around and still waterski/wakeboard. Going to see how I like it with the stock 3 blade aluminum but probably upgrade to a 4 blade stainless.

:tup:

Going to charge my battery and get mine started as well this w/e…

I water tested mine on sat. I made all new charge pipes, Exhaust, Bigger IC blah blah blah…

So I’ll never be able to catch you…

And get a wetsuit if it’s too cold. That was my problem last year, so I bought one for this spring / fall.

Did you buy yours offline? That’s one thing that worries me is the sizing and what not. I have not even looked into them yet.
