The new steps I made vs. the ones that came with the ladder.





Bought the 20ft harness extension from SkiDim, worked great to rewire the boat! I cut it and put the two connectors together.

Its first time back in the water since last summer. It broke down almost immediately, but it photographed well at the dock!

I like the dog on the motorbox of the Mastercraft. In the 2nd pic I'd be worried that if they yank the line suddenly you might get pulled forward and that light would turn you into a soprano.

Good luck, hopefully the towing days are behind you!

I like the last pic where at least he took off his wing tips. Can't tell you how many pairs I've ruined

Agreed, easier to dry out a pair of dress socks.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the boat, just wanted to ride close behind the pretty girl in the low cut top.

Yes the pump fixed it! The housing on the old one had scoring, didn't realize it until I saw the new one. I've done plenty of hole shots with it, seems good! It takes off pretty amazingly, even with 6-7 people in it. Ill put up more pics soon

I wish they made something you could glue onto the bottom of the hull to get the right amount of bow downness without planting the bow too much .
former skylark owner now a formula but I cant let this place go

You mean wedges? We've added them to wooden boats but never fiberglass. Hmm never really thought about that option. I was thinking Bennett trim tabs

Spacers to ensure it's widened evenly down the center.
