I don't know if any body lives in the northwest but we have been having beautiful weather out here. 4+ days of 60 degree weather I couldn't take it any more. Cruised lake washington and lake union then stopped by ivars salmon house on lake union. Watched the sun set over the olympics on lake washington....beautiful!

I filled the fat sac's just to see how the new wake would look. Wowwww! Can't wait for the water temp to warm up just a little more. Still feels great to be on the water.

Has anyone else been out?

Awesome, glad to hear you were able to get out on the water! I would like to see some pics of how the new wake looks!

It was nice here this weekend in Georgia too, problem for us was not the temperature but we still don't have enough water in our lake. They let the water way down during the off-season and it usually doesn't start coming back up until late March.

I didn't get any pics of the wake. Next time I go out I will though. It looks like you have the same boat, so you know the wake sucks. I added ballast on the back seat and in the back legroom = 700lbs+ 2 passengers. If you like wakeboarding, I promise you will like that wake a lot better than a few people on the boat. This makes the bow of the boat a lot higher( no more water coming over the bow.) It makes cruising in rough water a lot smoother also. It plows through the water rather than jumping on top of the water. The downside would be you wouldn't get the gas mileage you're used to.
