Hahaha Steve, that's what happened to me! I surf starboard side. We don't get too crazy with the weight. I have to be careful my lake is long and narrow and the neighbors don't like watching their docks/boats get banged around. We run either rear tank full(depending on side being surfed,obviously),belly tank about 3/4 full, about 400#s on back seat,150#s in bow and shuffle passengers accordingly. The wake is big enough to ride with just a driver,but isn't crazy big with some extra peeps.
The covered sacks are fine if you're not filling/emptying alot,but the inner bladder can be tough to get situated inside the cover as it's filling,so it's a pain if you do it alot. Mike |

Thanks for the tip. The covered ones look nice and I would have been suckered into them.
What is your surf setup? Do you ride port or starboard? |

....don't forget about the people ballast. I think you may have exceeded the capacity plate rating sir . If you get sacks,get coverless ones. Mine have covers and they are a PITA. Mike |

Yeah, Mike, I loved it. Was the tops of the weekend for me. Feverishly searching for deals on some sacs, pump and a board so I can do again this year.
Like other vices, the first taste is always free... Honestly, it didn't seem as sunk as the pics show. I think we had about 1000 lbs in sacs plus port factory wedge and belly ballast full. |

Wow, I've never seen a boat weighted that much! Thank God it's a Nautique, otherwise it would have sunk!!! Cool pictures.

Enough of the commercials for Lake George!
Kidding, of course. Here are some shots of a surf session with teacher extraordinaire WakeSlayer and Mrs WakeSlayer. Mike and Barbara brought the boards, sacs and experience and shared liberally. Thanks to Groovin for taking the photos. Is it me or is the Black Python getting a little fat these days? How high is the water mama? 6 feet high and rising - Cash Mrs 'Slayer taking a test run while the wake and speed gets dialed in Acceptable wake and ready for the noobs. |

For everyone who had a great time at Green Lake, no reason to wait until next year. We're doing it again in Lake George, NY September 18-20 at the 2009 CorrectCraftFan.com Northeast Reunion. Ralph Meloon Sr. will be there in person and we'll have the new Ski Nautique 200. Adam Wensink, who was at Green Lake last year, will also be there. It's the perfect way to wrap up the season.

Joe, I'll race you at LG this year.....how fast is your tow vehicle?
You've got to give me a ride in your Rocket Nautique. I have only seen it zip by from a distance and heard it idling from a mile away. Ken |

Lewy, the phone gives an immediate busy signal, perhaps because your in Canada. I have a 5k run at 8:30 tomorrow a couple towns over but will be back in the area by 11am and around all weekend. Just give me a call 315 567 1273. Thanks for all the positive comments on the boat and the rides guys, I doubt anyone enjoys the rides any more than I like giving them. |

I think I read 57.6...easily fast enough to call it a wicked ride. I was also very impressed with his results with the coosa board. The way Joe did his hull was the biggest reason I wanted to ride in it, and the engine performance was gravy!

Ditto. The ride in Joe's boat was incredible. What a great time we had in spite of the weather, can't wait 'till next year. I'm coming even if they're predicting snow! |

Pictures are great but only give a hint of the good time. Thanks to all that helped put on such a great weekend....in spite of less than ideal weather I wouldn't have missed it. And yes Joe's boat is a heck of a ride!(the run in it was one of the weekend's high points) |

Gotta agree the VB game was fun; I never quite figured out the scoring system which made it even better.

We had designs to have Joe's volleyball rig set up in the shallows of the sand bar. When the weather slapped us up along side the head, the plans were scrapped. We'll shoot to do it next year so more folks can participate.

Volleyball has been in the Thursday night cookout plans since Steve first came up with idea for the Thursday night cookout, I just volunteered the set. It went unused last year due to the freak storm that had us all huddled inside fearing for our lives. I was glad it finally picked up some players and we got a solid game going, I was starting to think I would be playing against Reid and Dan by myself forever.
Lewy, I still have plenty of making up to do if I want to match the hospitality I have been shown by members of this site and if that means I have to suffer through a day of hanging out in and around the water with some visiting fans then sign me up brother. I will give you a call this afternoon I hope you can make it by, we are actually projecting some decent weather this weekend. |

Joe, just so you know, the Thursday night Volleyball game was a highlite of my weekend. (My knees Friday morning would disagree) But I had an absolute blast and that HAS to be in the plans for next year. |

Hey Joe you are very generous with your offers of hospitality. We are in Niagara at the moment. We may have time to drop in either Sat afternoon or Sunday morning if that fits in with your plans. My new US mobile is 14143060847.

I stand behind that offer as a great idea. I have seen your truck and boat... there weren't any scratches. As to the picture above I guess I can find plenty of time during a volleyball game to keep properly "hydrated". |
