Isn't that what the ball valve is for?

no, thats just for a leak. kopecki is talking about controlling the system with something similar. although i dont think your going to see much fluctuation in the system from dynamic pressure alone.

[AggieTJ2007]

seems like it would be hard to get the tank in the nose to fill well

[BMFScout]

if it fluctuates no biggie, If I'm not wakeboarding I'll close the valve underneath. No reason to bring electricity into it if I don't have to. KISS

forgot to brag that I stuck a toeside 360 sat night behind st.john's boat. never done one with a handle pass before, not that anyone really cares, but I was stoked.

So you really are decent at this thing. If you can do that, you're better than 80% of the kids with $60K boats. We need to get you and brother runt together. If you're getting decent at some things he can help you out with others. You got a cable lake around?

[BMFScout]

that would be badass. I need someone that knows what the hell they are doing to give me some pointers. that and to lose about 20 lbs so that I can go longer, and for my left knee to hold together.

The boat bumps like a hikeschool hatchback in the back of the parking lot. You know the one, your mom doesn't want you to hang out with the guy that drives it. Sublime sounded pretty good. Working on getting all the stuff for the ballast system together and for the interior guys to finish up. I bought a 16 gallon tank to stick in the nose, hopefully ~150 lbs. will help bring the nose down a little at wakeboard speed, wasn't room for much more. So that, plus the rear tank under the backseat makes ~ 450lbs of extra weight. E-searching says that isn't that much for those boats, but I'll start with that. It's getting close, maybe by the time summer is over!

Priorities. Guess which one I'm still making payments on. If you guessed the foreign one, you'd be right. The interior panels are finally finished and it's time for Ry to get to work on covering the rest. I'm betting he's super stoked since he's been getting so much done on Cheeromanche!

Ryan put carpet in the hooker this weekend. I can start installing some things permanently like the driver's seat, stereo, ballast tanks, etc. Althought the side panels and a few interior panels aren't done because I need to buy some more material, it'll pretty much be ready to wakeboard behind. Fred's got pics, post them up sucker!

I'm a little slow at getting these loaded up.

Here's the pictures of the carpet:

So after that, we got the boat back to Murphy and started the permanent install of the ballast system, stereo, driver's seat, etc. and decided to repaint the rubrail since the paint was flaking off of it. Makes the outside look much better.

Here's a shot of the engine cover bolted in for good, and the driver's seat. Also, the twin batteries and switch, sub box, and you can see the back of the front ballast tank as well in one of the shots.
