does anyone know of any place in or around sacramento area or northbay that can tint. preferrably w/out having to remove the windows. places ive checked won't mess with mine...

Loud liquid out in Rancho (sacramento area) does sick tint work without removing windows. Hit them up at 916-851-0817. Tell them Justin at Brothers Boats sent you and they will give you a good deal. Good luck. Tint on boats looks sick.

thanks for the info, i'll check them out...

What kind of boat do you have?

07 avy

How do you like your boat? I'm looking to purchase an 07 avy.

Jason- Check out Cartronics in Santa Rosa. They have tinting division also. Call (707) 527-1515. Ask for Dan Berry (owner), he does all the work on my Avalanche. They do great work and take great care with all their customer's cars/boats. <BR> <BR>Kevin-No you are not, you are looking to purchase a Sanger<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>. Just kidding, I saw your other thread and was going to chime in, but figured there was too much Sanger testosterone for me<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>. I have an 05 Avalanche and will be happy to answer any questions you have about it. For the record, I could not be happier with my Avy, and would not trade it for anything. BTW, Sanger makes a great boat also IMO, just depends on what your needs/wants are.

kevin , can't be happier either. i got a great deal on it so i jumped on it. lots of room/storage, real simple and handles great but you probably wont go wrong if you get the sanger though. seems like you're leaning in that direction....Ben, I'll check them out too but Santa Rosa may be a little too far for me since my boat is stored in west sac. oh yeah, any tips on getting rid of the wash on the port side of my wake? i tried adding more weight (tube sac under the port side seat) and also messing with the wake plate-bringing it down on that side a little. it cleaned up but then the other side got washed. i also had 400 in each locker and a bow sac filled to prob 500+ any suggestions will help, thanks!

Jason-I have heard rumors about tweaking the tracking fin, but I have always been able to correct it with a little weight (120 lbs or so) under the observer seat and everything else balanced. That being said, as soon as someone moves, we have to adjust again. I don't have alot of time in other boats to compare it to, but it does seem sensitive. I am beginner rider, so not that big of a deal to me at this point.

i guess i'll keep tweaking and experimenting with weight etc. a friend of mine suggested a hydraulic wake plate like maybe a bennet trim tab or something, hmmm. happy about the boat...except this.

just wondering cuz iv'e been looking at tinting also does it impair ur driving ability like spotting debris and stuff how dark should i go?

I stayed out of the other thread for the same reason! Besides you cant go wrong really... <BR>I had heard the tracking fin tweak was more for older Avys, and maybe should start an Avy thread for this, but wasn't it more of a problem before they ported the tracking fins?

<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/562712.jpg" alt="Upload">another look ,

man, it must have been REALLY washed out before they ported the tracking fins..

looks sick Brian, i want to get mine done now! is that 50%??

Hey Brian do you have a shot of your boat from the side? Your colors look awesome.

thats definetly not 60% in those first 2 pics, 60 is nothin, you cant even tell its tinted with 60. It looks like 25 to me, maybe im wrong

you are probably right, I dont remember, I can find out though, the guy who did it went to miami this weekend , I will call him monday

That looks sick wahtever % it is, are there any laws against a certain % on a boat? I know in WA 30% is the legal limit for cars, but Ive never heard of boats

the front window is sick lookin and that boat looks DARK like 20% i could be wrong but in the shot from the back it looks like 5% no joke... i have got to get me some on my new LSV

I will find out monday 4 sure , I paid 110 but he said it was a P.I.T.A

sounds like you ripped him off. Hope you said thanks.

The tint I had put on my BU was 20%

SUVs from the factory are about 35%, and that benz looks 20% <BR> <BR>$110 is dirt cheap. My installer said bring it over and he said it would be a PITA, about $200, but I trust him when he re-tinted my Lexus that a local shop messed up

Yeah dude you got an f'n deal on that! for cars its like $100 for a windshield. Nice work.
