  1. New Board Build

    That's sweet! I'm expecting pics of mine in the next few days
  2. I think I would order from Domednumbers.com
  3. Oops

    That looks like a scene from The Hangover part 2. Even the boat looks the same color I think!
  4. My first custom board build

    If your coming to the island you should try and get up to sproat as well
  5. My first custom board build

    That is a sweet @$$ board Steve! Bet you can't wait for it to warm up....nice job!
  6. Now that's impressive! I used to be able to do that on my jet ski back in the day
  7. I had Interstate in my last boat and when it's time to replace these ones I'll go with Interstate again
  8. Also you might have to leave your fake-a-lake on and hooked up to the hose to keep the water you fill the cooling hose with from running out
  9. I would take off the hose at the thermostat housing and fill it with the garden hose to try and prime the cooling system.i don't know if it could have an air lock kind of thing going on?
  10. Feed and return for heater?

    If you go to heatercraft.com they have an installation guide that says it doesn't matter which way the water flows through the heater core. If I remember I think one hose comes from the top of the intake manifold and the other to the engine water pump. There should be some 1/2" pipe plugs in around those 2 locations that you remove and thread in your heater hose nipples.
  11. Goofy sided wake

    Look at the prop. It will have it stamped into the hub
  12. Also don't forget that all these materials have to be transported to the factory.........higher fuel prices
  13. It is more than likely the battery. The best way to test a battery is to load test it and to do that you need to have the proper equipment. Any automotive shop should have a load tester for a battery. Also a trickle charger really doesn't put out enough amperage to charge the battery if it is down much.
  14. Proud Dad!

    Congrats First timer! Nothing beats a day on the boat with your family. Good times are coming!
  15. Copy that on the 303 They also make a vinyl cleaner that works great as well
  16. When ever I store my boat for winter or even during the week in the summer I always put a couple of driz-air containers in it to absorb any moisture and keep any mildew from forming
  17. Rate my wave

    I'm sorry but ...... I prefer the other side of the wake!
  18. I bet alot of dealers are pretty conservative on how many boats they keep on the show room floor after everything went for a dive a few years ago
  19. I'm glad I waited to 2012 to buy my 2010 from this same dealer! I originally was looking at used boats in the 40-50k range and ended up with a brand new boat instead.
  20. The Others

    Malibu's are a luxurious boat but the do not produce the surf wave like a centurion or tige. My buddy has a 2010 vlx and it's not even close to an avalanche or Enzo wake but it's sure got a nice interior
  21. It can be frustrating finding and having to repair a lot of small issue's. But when you do get out to the lake you know everything has been serviced and will not be a problem down the road and spoil your summer. It will be worth it.
  22. Pulling Prop

    I don't think the key will come out the back. You want the key to stay in the slot in the shaft to remove the prop. Maybe try a pin punch and tap the key back into position. It's possible the key is damaged and causing the prop to hang up on it. Hope this helps!
  23. Pulling Prop

    The only thing I can think of is to check the key. The hub of the prop has a brass key that is1/4"x1/4"x1" aprox. That could be stopping the prop from coming off
  24. It's best to check it when the boat is in the water and warmed up. Have your boat idle in gear and check the level.
  25. The outer housing of the cable should have the length stamped right into it
