Here's a shot of it. (we're about 1/2 mile downstream from the bottom of the pic)

Matt, no rev limiter?
Sounds good anyway!

Nope, no limiter. :beerchug:

The boat must be running good now.

Actually, I sort of cold-seized one jug at Twin Lakes. Compression is 30psi lower on that side.
Still runs great.
I'll change topends when I get the big bore....probably not before Westport.


youre too much on a plane going into the wake. get the pump lower in the water before you go for your BR. youre almost there.

Thanks...this sort of advice (and everyone's here!) is exactly what I am looking for. Nothing like having other folks look and critique your riding.



Okay, about the boat....
It's my pa-in-laws boat that he bought 3 years ago I think. Some random 16ft or 17ft boat with a Volvo 2.2l/120HP inboard/outboard.
He's been fighting gremlins for a while. He paid a few hundred bucks for general tune-up and repair this summer. Then when he tried to run it, it wouldn't start because of a faulty gear-shift interlock switch.
He tried fixing it, but couldn't. He was so frustrated that he wanted to sink it (honestly). He then offered it to me or Phill for free (We's bro-in-laws). I was more drunk than Phill, so I said yes.
It took me a grand total of 15 minutes to put the battery on the charger and bypass the interlock.
I've told my father in law numerous times that I can just fix it for him and give it back to him.
That option is still very much open and being discussed. I am not sure I want a boat.

Keep the boat. Throw a couple hundred gallon fat sack in the thing, prop it for low end, and just plow that thing down the Snake all day. Backies to follow.

Nice vids and pics by the way. I've personally gotten very good at that last trick.

werd.

Nice job Matt. Looks like you're almost there. Wish I could offer up some advice, but I was almost to where you are when I sold my sj. I would only get about half way around.

In my opinion learning them off a boat wake like ya'll are doing is the best way. It's a consistent never ending wake and you don't have to worry about landing on your head in shallow water like you do in the surf.

by the way you trying to be the next Joe Kenny or something. no riding shoes?:bigeyes::biggrin::headbang:

A boat to generate wake is sorely needed at that spot. Very little boat traffic.
Just stationary fishermen shaking fists.

I've gotten to really like riding barefoot provided the water ain't too cold. (Water was 66 Degrees yesterday)
Plus, it can be such pain to put wrestling shoes on. :bigok:

Fresh water river.
But since both the upstream and downstream dams have stopped spilling for the fall (turbines are still putting out water), it's essentially a long lake.
