  1. FAE Alternative

    duffymahoney replied to Kalidgh's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    I put them on my avalanche and took them off and put an FAE on. They didn't work for me for surfing.

  2. Dry Suit Vs. Wetsuit

    duffymahoney replied to gator808's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Oneil psycho II or if you have the money go Patagonia. Their stuff is amazing.

  3. Dry Suit Vs. Wetsuit

    duffymahoney replied to gator808's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    I personally hate drysuits. I really love the newer technology of wetsuits, your skin really doesn't get wet. You can move better etc... There is a reason zero ocean surfers use dry suits, unless they are in the artic or alaska:)

  4. New Custom Supreme Bags

    duffymahoney replied to NW Boat Sports's topic in Supreme Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications

    Put a surf flap or wave flap on that boat and I bet the wave would be super clean.

  5. 5 Blade Prop

    duffymahoney replied to dejoeco's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications

    Call acme, have them send you a 5 blade to test. Wave is weirdly cleaner, rpms are lower, fuel consumption is lower, boat sounds less like it struggles. I got the acme 2133 14.00x 13.5VL5B 1.125. With 4k in ballast or so, I can go as fast as I want. Like past 20 mph. With the old prop (best on the market according to acme for my boat) i could barely go 13.5. I drank the snake oil and honestly I like it. Give it a try, the let you test for free!
  6. I did testing for Acme and their 5 blade props. They don't believe it should work better. But honestly give it a try. It's night and day better on my boat. Maybe its snakeoil, but I am a believer.

  7. Volvo Forward Drive

    duffymahoney replied to Bongo Fury's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    I wonder if a simple fin or something in front of the drive would solve most issues. I know old tug boats and such had them. Or even just a prop gaurd. Still, it's a very neat idea.
  8. When I went to a 5 blade prop I saw a huge drop in rpms and fuel use. Maybe try a 5 blade from acme?

  9. Drew Daniello signs with Nautique

    duffymahoney replied to DarksideR's topic in Watersports & Related Gear

    The nautique nss wave is pretty great for a skimmer. Lots of push but not super tall. But I bet it was about money. As most things are:)
  10. Anyone know of a good deal or a site with good deals on a 3-4 port heater craft heater? Looking for a 3-H series. 1 euro and 2-3 pull out vents. Anybody know of anything?
  11. I would remove as many hoses as possible or backflush. Do you have a sea strainer?
  12. My last boat had that issue and the transmission cooler was full of wood chunks. It's a bit of a pinch point in the cooling system. I would start there and if you can install a strainer if it doesn't already have one. I doubt the problem is related to ballast. I bet it's something wrong with your cooling system. If you think it's the thermostat you could always pull it off and run the boat. See if the boat stay too cool or not.
  13. Interesting idea, seams to be more like the supra and the mastercraft tabs. I bet more will be out before the summer.

  14. Storing outdoors

    duffymahoney replied to jiriki's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    Our fairgrounds does the same. 150 for the whole winter.
  15. Here is a link to my install. Only thing that has changed is spring loaded check valves on the empty pumps. This keeps water from letting out slowly while surfing. http://www.tigeowners.com/forum/showthread.php?14787-Duffy-s-2005-24v-wakesurfing-mod-thread
  16. I still have a bunch of 1-1/2 parts and 1" parts. If you want anything email me. duffymahoney@hotmail.com
  17. I installed 4 of these. They were a pain in the as* to install, but they sure do move water quickly. I have never lost prime with mine.

  18. 2015 S226 Photos

    duffymahoney replied to Hillside Powersports and Marine's topic in Supreme Boats General Discussion

    Was the glassing thin? I have never broke a custom board. But a few of my early pro boards were very thinely glassed and they always worried me. I now have more put on. Still no specs on the stock ballast on the S226. I want them to come out with a 24 or 25 foot version. I would think it's in the works.

    duffymahoney replied to Hillside Powersports and Marine's topic in Supreme Boats General Discussion

    I bet they do go far enough up. Fineline has done a good job of building surf boats, I doubt they would screw up the 226.

    Seems silly to raise the deck instead of just making it smaller. Much better to get in and out.

    One of the pictures says s21 on a sticker. You sure it's not that?
  22. Any pictures of the removal? My buddy wants to pull his but he is being a chicken about the process and reinforcing the divider.

  23. Avy vs v226

    duffymahoney replied to phillewis's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    My buddies 226 has turned down pipes and they suck. Get an FAE. Best surf option out.

  24. Avy vs v226

    duffymahoney replied to phillewis's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion

    To me the waves are very similar. Both have a good-great goofy and regular wave. The 226 feels bigger inside for sure.
  25. I'm guessing the enzo is still the deepest v out? Anyone have videos of the goofy wave with cats and plate for a enzo with normal prop rotation?
