In Topic: Shout out, Top Speed and a spare tire question

27 July 2011 - 10:20 AM

All you have to do is swith around your jack and put a spare tire carrier on the oppo side of your boat winch and jack. There is plenty of room there. I did this and was still able to use my swing tounge. All those tires should work. I put some large tires on my trailer when i drove from washington to oklahoma because the boat(full of my things) weighed close to 5000lbs. Of course I burned up the transmission in my murano, but that is beside the point. haha. I cut half the metal brace off under the finder just to make sure there was plenty of clearance. also raised the fender about 1 inch for clearance. The boat pulled way better with bigger tires. This is the only pic I could find of the spare tire position and the larger wheels.

yes something is wrong. I pulled up a 200lb wakeboarder with over 2,000lbs of weight in my boat. Get it checked out.

In Topic: Audio in the 180

take the two stock speakers out and get 4 polk audio db651's.  These speakers have been praised by everyone everywhere and are marine grade.  replace the two stock ones and put two more up in the bow like the 2010's.  I would put the amp in the glove box and a sub either by the passenger's feet or loose one of your under the seat coolers in the back and replace it with a sub. Go with a name brand amp because the cheap ones are nothing but trouble and produce way too much heat.  For the extra battery there is plenty of space right by the stock for one more.

You didn't mention tower speakers.  If you do get any tower speakers don't waste your money on anything but hlcd speakers.  Wetsounds or exile is the only way to go there unless you only want them up there for looks.

If you ever have any questions on this boat just ask.  I pretty much know this boat inside and out and I live in OKC.

we ran into finacial difficulties and had to get rid of it. worst day of my life. I will be getting a v-drive in a few years after were in a better place financialy. The seadoo was a great first boat though. I'm just way more into wakeboarding and wakesurfing than i thought i would be.

In Topic: wakeboard ballast

18 July 2011 - 10:01 AM

I did a little of the wakesurfing before i got rid of the boat. You are going to need a lot more weight to wakesurf. I ran 1800 lbs of ballast for surfing plus people. I had 3 350's(the same ones that were down in the sides for wakeboarding)one in the bow to the side one in the back over the cupholders in the floor, and one in the back seat. they all have to be as far to the side as you can get them. Then i took a 750lbs sac and laid it over the back sac and compartment and swim platform. You have to tie this one down or it will be in the lake after a run or two. Its not fun to get out....trust me.

I wakeboarded behind the boat once with this much weight. I didnt think the boat would pull me up and get on plane but it did. It was a great wake.
