Ordered a Hitachi Rotary, and got a used boat!

[Dalamar]

Well I finally can Justify getting a Rotary.
We got a used Malibu Wakesetter, it's red/black. it's a nice boat. perfect for what we want to do with it.
It does need some love, probably about 30 hours worth. I'll be posting up a thread with progress pics.
Gell coat is super hard, and a PC would take 2-3x longer to work it, soooo, Hitachi suuuga powa!

just ordered:

Hes talkin bout your muscles Dal.

 

[Dalamar]

maybe my gutt!


it's a really fun boat 96_SVT.
we did slalom skiing, wake boarding and wake surfing last week.
Wake surfing is interesing. you load up the front ballast tank, and one of the side balast tanks so you have a huge wake on 1 side, and surf the wake
about 6' behind the boat. once you get in the sweet spot you toss the roap back and just ride the wave. pertty fun.


We did good on this boat, I really like it.

 

[CC'S95GT]

I'd like to see wake surfing. Got any shots?

 

[Dalamar]

it's not the best shot, but here's me getting into position.
u slow down a bit more and side load the tanks to get the big wake on 1 side.

here's a vid:

Sweet boat. I thought you were trying to say the boat had a rotary in it... I was like "whaaaaaat?"
