Greg,
Josh has one I think so he could give you his opinions on it. |

Do it! It's a ton of fun but can get you into some trouble depending where you use it. Super simple setup and endless fun and only need 2 people. I might end up using mine more in the snow then the water though. My only suggestion is not to skimp on one and pay the money to be extremely happy. |
I was hoping to get some advice from you experienced Lake Powell visitors. I live in Salt Lake. Our big yearly boating trip has usually been down to lake mead and we stay in mesquite at a time share condo. Lately we have just been going to the st. george lakes because mead is so low and the beaches are terrible. I have been wanting to plan a Powell trip for my family and stay in a house boat. I have noticed most of the listings on KSL are for buying into a houseboat share. I was wondering if people ever sale their time or if i am just better off going through one of the rental places. I thought being local to utah i might have more options to buy an un-used week but i wasnt sure if that is ever a possibility. This would be for a trip in 2016.
|
Josh,
Thanks a lot for the info. Maybe I can tag along and watch some time if you go winching. I'd like to see what it's like. |

Enjoying being a Nautique owner again after taking over the ownership from David Horton, and happy to keep her in the "family"! Been out the past 3 days straight which is more water time than I think she's seen in the past 2 years combined :)
|
Shim is posting of enjoying a new boat and officially sold my MB yesterday. I kept mine as far out of the family as I could since it's going to OR, boat should leave my driveway the Saturday.
Shima - If the SANTE wake was with Hyde riding it's kicking her! It's a love or hate wake and I LOVE IT! Congrats on the new ride. |
^^^ what a beauty.
|
Thanks Josh, and congrats on selling your ride! Yes, the video with Hide is the SAN wake. Made some adjustments today to the rear ballast bags so I don't have to carry/tow the additional 400lbs of pop bags. Switched out the 400's Fly High's for a pair of Ronix Eight.3 550's in the rear lockers. So I get an additional 300 lbs of water instead of lead. But will use a few of pop bags to balance out the boat when needed.
Miguel, thank you! |

Hi, quick question, why did you remove the lead and opt for more water weight? For an easier tow? Just curious, always thought lead was better. TIA |
Josh, got a 600b fatsac in the nose which is more than enough. What I found with the older SAN's is that too much weight in the bow reduces the punch of the wake. At least that's what seemed to be the case last week. I figured that with a 600 in the bow, 1100 in the rear with 4-6 people in the cockpit will be cherry!
Chuck, the reason why I went with water over lead for ballast is for towing reasons. It's a minimum 20min tow to our lake at an altitude of about 4500ft, and that's just flat driving. Now, when we go camping, it's about a 4.5hr tow up & down 6500-8500ft mountain passes. So I just want to make the boat as light as possible to save the trailers life and get better gas mileage. |

Josh, yes it still had punch, but I wanted more. And I am still using the belly locker to. So without counting bodies in the boat the total water ballast should be at least 2300lbs between all 4 fat sacs filled. And the only one that I have to do manual is the bow. Just adding bodies will make it bigger, plus I will still use 2-4 of the pop bags in the cock pit to move around to balance the wake, depending on how many people we have out.

Calling Scotty Browne! Post up pics of your new VLX that you should've picked up yesterday. Inquiring minds want to see this beauty! :)

Looks like a awesome day out guys.....missing the SLC crew.
Got the new boat today. 2012 VLX. More picks to come. |

What water temps are your guys dealing with at Willard, Oct. and still haven't seen drysuits yet is awesome.
|
Scotty, congrats on the black beast, brotha! But what's up with those registration numbers??? Haha
Can't wait to see more pics. Josh, water is in the low 60's but the air temps were really cool yesterday. I think my neo top is being put away for the winter and it will be drysuit the rest of the season, for how ever much longer that may be. |

Thanks again. |
Josh, did Oneill say it was garbage?
Chuck, if I only lived 5min away from my lake, I would be using lead as well. There's actually a thread in the boat accessories page titled "Is lead still relevant?" You should check it out and chime in. BTW, what lead do you use? |

Bummers Josh! Spring suits can't do what drysuits can. And you know this...maaaaan! :D

Damn good looking WS Scott!
|
Scott, just saw Dayle's FB post about Em's first wakeboard experience. That's awesome! What's the water temp like now at your riding place?
|
Thanks Josh.. It was a long 6 months with no boat but the wait was worth it.
Ryan it was such a awesome moment. She was begging to get back out as soon as she got back in the boat. Water is about 70 now which is great. Off for a camping trip next weekend to a fresh water spot which I am hanging out for. Are you guys still riding? |
Awesome, hope you guys get some great riding while camping. Post up pics from then as well.
Weather just got really cold over the last couple of days. Overnight lows are starting to get into the low 30's. Rich has already winterized his boat, and mine is still in my driveway but this weekend might be the last one she's out. We're trying to plan for Sunday afternoon but we'll see. I'm going to have to throw a portable work lamp in my engine compartment tonight to just ensure the air temp stays warm enough for the block sine the temps will get around 33F tonight. Miss ya bro! |

Yeah, I blew my heater core once on my Supra because I didn't drain it enough. It's been snowing up here so hopefully I will get a short break where I can blow out the heater lines.

Thanks Josh for the offer. I'm storing the boat in David's garage this winter, so he's going to show me how he winterized her in the past. Probably will be next week some time since the overnight temps are dropping down.

Thanks David for helping me winterize the boat and showing me a much easier way to get it done.
Can't wait to get her back out on the water in a few months. We need the snowfall, but let's hope that the predictions of a much colder winter than usual doesn't happen. |

BTW, if anyone is interested, I have an extra Perfect Pass Master Module and Control gauge that's in excellent working condition, and would let it go for $300. The buyer would need the servo that attaches to the motor though, and make sure that that have the components for the paddle wheel or speedo pickup because it is not GPS.

You do that Rich, and I'll give you a raucous upside your head! Haha
In all seriousness, they're working on creating an opportunity to address concerns like the one you had. |
Hey Ry, that's good to hear. There was actually a much bigger one when I went to get winterized in the fall. I don't want to talk too much crap on here, but I'll chat with you about sometime this spring.
|
Ok, sounds good.

Looks like a turn for the 2016 season has happened for the better. We planned to take the year off from owning a boat since selling the MB to Oregon. Some how the stars aligned and Skiers Choice and Marine Products made an offer we couldn't refuse. So together we have placed our order for a 2016 Moomba Craz and damn we are excited. Even though we will be selling it towards the end of the season it's going to be great great summer and we are scheduled for a March build spot. We are sticking with their classic scheme to really show the lines of this massive 22' boat. It's going to be main color gun metal flake, white accents, and a black hull. We also chose to go with a LOT of white with the interior for them hot summer days here and in Lake Powell. Here's a example of what the Middleton Craz will look like creeping on UT/AZ waters.

Hope to see that SA on the water soon Tracy. Don't get up to Jordanelle much but if I do and see the SA I will stop and say hello.
|
Congrats Josh. Excited to hear how the wake is.
|
Tracy and Josh-congrats on the new rides. If you ever need a 3rd, give me a call. Excited for the boat show this weekend. I'll be there Sunday.
|
Man MP came to play this boat show! Just the gear they bring is impressive BUT their lineup of boats are amazing. Supra SE, SG, SC, SA Moomba Mojo, Craz, Mojo... Excited to see everybody's boats at the show.
|
Going tomorrow, should be fun to see what's new out there.

Congrats on the new boat Tracy & Josh!
The boat show was fun! After missing the last 2, it was fun to see old friends again and network with new reps in the industry. |
Thanks Shima! Awesome to see you and Hyde. We'll keep in touch to see if we can get you guys out on the new boat. We need lots of water here for a certain spot and make it really worth the drive this way.
|
Water shouldn't be an issue this year, at least it better not be! Can't wait to see the new ride and take a spin.

Love the new whip, Josh! Color combo & the lines really pops on the water.
