PEOPLE!!!! INVEST IN A SNAP ON COVER!! IT'LL ONLY SET YOU BACK ABOUT $1000 FOR A VERY NICE ONE. "CUSTOM COVERS" IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH HAS THE PATTERN FOR ALL CENTURION BOATS. THEY MAKE THEM IN HOUSE AND CAN SHIP THEM WHEREEVER. YOU JUST HAVE TO DO THE INSTALL OF THE SNAPS ON THE BOAT. IT'S WORTH IT. I TRAVEL AT SPEEDS OF 75-80 MPH OUT HERE AND HAVEN'T HAD A SNAP COME OFF ONCE IN 1.5 years

Come on. Seriously. Didn't you demo your boats before you bought them?? If not, you're morons. I'm with Drew. We waited an extra week or so for a boat w/ SideSwipe to come in. You can't beat the benefits of near zero CO when surfing and the deep rumble is just one more thing that pulls everyones attention to your kickass boat. It makes it even more of a "Ferrari on the Water" We can easily have a conversation at normal voice levels while boating. I can't remember a time that we've had to yell. Our dealer did say that they could reverse the SideSwipe, but it would be VERY costly. I'd rather hear the rumble and surf safe.

I think we're a little higher in elevation, but we run 2 different props. Down in Lake Powell (@ 3600 Feet) we're running an ACME 857 and have great holeshot and a nice wake to surf on. Up north in Bear Lake (border of UT and ID @ 6000 feet) we're going to try something new this weekend. Acme hammered out all of our specs and sent us an ACME 1619. We'll see how it does. We've been hurting for top end and our WOT RPM's have been down around 4200. Jim @ ACME says he's almost positive this will give us what we are getting out of the 857 at Powell.

We've got the DBot 5's on our Enzo 240 w/ evolution tower. They mount up awesome and the sound is unbelieveable. They are a little steep at @ $800 a pair, but well worth it. 4 of those along w/ 6 interior speakers and the 12" sub - you can hear us coming from 2 canyons over in Powell

Sideswipe, What speed are you running at and do you have your SwitchBlade all the way up? I'm having a hard time getting my wake long and tall like that. I can get it tall, but it's like 5 feet of the back deck, if I go long, I lose the curl... Help me out here
