I am in Saskatchewan, Canada. However, we looking to make a holiday of it during the winter so anywhere would be good. From Vancouver to Florida, I am looking for a camp with good facilities, coaches, and not to difficult to access(decent sized airport nearby). Have you attended or know any details on camps in the VAN area? Cheers, Evan

Does anyone have any adult camps for wakeboarding/wakesurfing that they would recommend? There are 4 of us looking to go to a camp for a week or so and get quality instruction to get better. We all have been boarding and surfing for a couple years but would like to step it up and save some time and beatings behind the boat to get better. I appreciate any feedback or recommendations. Cheers, Evan

Gordon, thanks for the post. That would make sense with what happened. The pump has come in and should be in by WED, I guess we will see from there. By the sounds of it, a head gasket and lesson learned. Cheers, Ev

Thanks for the replies. No news back yet, they do not believe the block is cracked. Hopefully that turns out to be the case. It was mentioned above that by running the boat with belt squeeling could have led to water entering the block. It ran for 2 minutes tops, with rpms barely above idle. It was mentioned above that the impeller should be replaced every season, is this common practice on a vdrive? Thanks again. Evan

Hi, I have a question regarding the seawater pump. I bought an 03 Elite, first time out didn't go too well. Put boat in and it ran well for about 5 minutes, stopped enjoyed the boat for a bit like a little kid. When I started it to take it back in there was a squeel, stopped had a look and all seemed well. Started again, same noise but we were a ways out and I wanted to slowly limp in. Starting getting close to shorer and the temp was high, white soke began to come out the back. Stopped the boat, belt was broken....and paddled in like a champ. Took it to the shop, they said the cylinders were full of water. The seawater pump was seized, and needs to be replaced. They have told me the boat will not turn over until this is done. But my question is could this have be a factor in getting water into the engine?? If anyone has some knowledge on this I would like to hear what you think. Thanks, Evan ps...yes I have spoken to the guy I bought the boat from. We'll wait and see what the scoop is and deal with that.
