Oh, and one more thing:

Made a 'quick' 10 1/2 hr trip up to Maine this weekend (bad part), had outstanding weather and got to waterski and wakeboard (good part) Check out the photo and you be the judge as to whether you can really call what I was doing wakeboarding....).? Drove home Sunday night (9 hours).? What a weekend.? It really was worth it....

Hey, if you got up, it's wakeboarding. Maine sure looks nice in the summer, I spent the better part of the winter there. I did get up there in May/June, in time for the black flies!

I'll translate for Pete, he was just really really drunk when he wrote Vestus virim redit. What he meant was Festivus is a virile redneck.

Back to the thread topic, I used the parts configurator online feature to get that new tracking fin.  It was super easy thanks to the navtech coding you guys put into the database.  thanks a ton.

Pete A, please be careful letting ANYONE wakeboard (especially a slalom skier) wakeboard with a poly rope.

If you remember back to that first year we had our boat, I held on to the rope too long getting up and the recoiling handle flew up with enough velocity that it put a deep gash in the windhsield frame. My son was sitting right next to there, and I'm pretty sure it could have been fatal had it hit him.

If that's not a poly rope, belay my last, but thought it'd be good to bring up.

And nice to see the pics! I'm still amazed at how much lower-impact wakeboarding is than skiing.

Pete-

August is definitely better than early June--the black flies and no-see-ums are brutal there, and leave massive welts!? There was not a fly to be seen this past weekend, and the water was in the upper 70's--warmest I can remember.

Bitzy-

If I drink alot, and read ti backwards, Pete's latin might make sense to me, but I think what you said is probably what he meant anyway, so why bother...

Derek-?

Thanks for the heads up on the rope--if you look closely, I was actually using the same rope for both skiing and wakeboarding, and I was using the wakeboarding rope--it was part of the deal when I bought the board (Hyperlite).? Based on what you said, that is probably the reason they through it in; limits theri liabiltiy.

About skiing vs. wakeboarding:  I guess it is whatever you are used to.  I find boarding incredibly counter-intuitive to whatever I've been doing for 30+ years of skiing, but its a ton of fun and I enjoy the challenge.  The biggest problem for me is time on the water--can't learn much in 1 ro 2x/year!

Let go with one hand, the board will point forward! It is wierd getting used to riding sideways but it gets easier the more you do it. Not so much that I will give up skis for a snowboard, but it comes with practice.

Toyotafreak, strange that you mention poly rope. In conversation this weekend, an old friend of mine was mentioned. He was fishing with the anchor on a poly rope. Forgot to pull the anchor when they were changing locations and it popped him in the head. He was in a coma for two years before the wife gave permission to pull the plug.

pete- snowboarding is to snow skiing as wakeboarding is to kneeboarding.  Just don't compare, my friend.  I skiid for over 10 years before I thought I'd give snowboarding a chance.  It was actually wakeboarding that made me curious.  I never enjoyed water skiing.  I wanted to see how much wakeboarding crossed over to snowboarding.  A little.  Neither sport lets you look straight forward, except on the butterslide or grinding a rail.  Snowbaording is probaly my #2, after wakeboarding.  So far I have really had a blast on a sky-ski as well.

Back on topic...

I received ALL the ENGINE diagrams and part numbers and they are posted on the TMS parts lookup. Search the ENGINE form for "spark" and see the results. The Figure column has the name of the figure hotlilnked, and if you click it, it will show you the diagram, plus ALL parts in that diagram at the bottom. Very handy of you want to know what the other parts in a specific diagram are.

I'm gonna do the same for the boat parts database so when you view the figure it'll also have all the parts for that figure.

I can present this stuff many ways, so if you have a better idea, let me know.

I''m getting out of the programming cave tomorrow and hittin the water! Pete, I'm putting in at Little Hall if you want to meet up north of there...
