Sounds like a FUN boat. My brother bought a new 1986 Chaparral. I think it was 19.6. It also had a 350 in it and ran great. We would go skiing with 8 of us onboard. 4 adults (two couples) and 4 kids. It did fantastic. We had a blast. From what I've read the new Chaps are still...

Sounds good. At least there are some hours on the new motor. It's broke in. If it runs out good on your test run I'd suggest having it surveyed and if that is okay go for it. A survey saved me from a big mistake, and it cost less than $500 at the time. So worth it before making a big...

:eek:

Same here. Mine has straps in the front. I cruise with it up. No problem at all. I usually keep it under 40 and the bimini does just fine.

Very nice Denny. Looks fantastic. If possible I would do what Denny suggested. So many places sell biminis but most of them are cheap and need replaced after a few years of use. Once I learned this I have since ordered my bimini tops from this place and always got a quality product...

I don't know of Bimini extensions but you can add a 2nd Bimini and butt them up together.

Looking good. :thumb:

Same here. No way I could use one of those little things now. LOL

It get hot. I can stand it. Wifey complains and lays down towels sometimes. So ......

I'm interested to hear how easy that flooring is on your feet. The carpet on our boat get so hot we have to lay down towels.

Nice. You'll like the Fusion. I have a Fusion in my boat. Great sound.

Are you sure it's the gauge? My trim gauge was not working. Ended up being a bad connection at the rear of the boat.

At least you are on the right path to healing. :thumb:

Not bad. Knee is still tight but it works. Still some pain but not enough to take pain pills. Dr said this is all normal. It's takes a year for the knee replacement pains to go away. Just about half way there. LOL

Ah man. Sorry SST. That sucks. At least you'll be able to get at it in June and have 10 weeks or more of potential time on the water. Best wishes.

I mounted the small holding tank under the rear seat. Same area the bigger tank used to be prior to me owning the boat. Previous owner removed it to accomodate a bass woofer and two regular speakers. We only use the water for spraying off the swim platform or washing stuff found by my wife...

This might help you. From west marine. The WEST MARINE 16' Heavy-Duty Tow Harness is equipped with oversized extra heavy duty hooks. They’re perfect for hooking up to troublesome pontoon tow points. It’s extra long, 16 feet, to stretch across wide beams. Engineered to tow skiers, wake...

Can not say for sure but i would assume you could pull a tuber. 3 might be a bit much but 2 should be okay. My 2cents. A guess.

By the by. I did get a small holding tank installed. 4 or 5 gallon. Enough for how we use it. And easy to refill.

I have never seen a ski tow bar like that. Technically, it seems low enough that you would be able to tow a tube with it. However a tube create much more friction and pulls harder on the craft. With that bar being as it is it might create stress cracks or worse in your boat. So, if it...
