  1. I have a had a 2005 centurion Lightning has been working great all summer

    Went to drop it in the other day and it turns but won’t fire

    No fading from the battery like that’s bad and it cranks just fine 

    Fuel pump primes and you can smell the fuel any suggestion 

    If I use the clutch and push the throttle all the way forward it fires and gurgles at the end 

     

    thanks in advance hoping someone has experienced the same 


  2. I'm 5'7" 230 and ride a few Phase Fives

     

    I had both the Flyboy and the Big Boy Flyboy

    I never got comfortable with my short legs on the BBFB and would pearl the flyboy at my size

     

    I also had a trident and then got a new one with the new tail design and didn't like how slow it had become

     

    Currently I have a

    57" Wire fun surf style

    62" Kong longboard

    and 57" Drew Diamond good skimmer and put a smaller skim fin on

     

    I probably ended up riding the Kong the most last year it is surprisingly nimble for such a big board


  3. Well now I've got something else going on

    I got a big spark while cleaning the contacts as it worked when bridged with a needle once pliers and was hoping it was due to a a little rust on those contacts and now I have nothing when I turn the key

    The radio button works and I have full power at both batteries

    Hoping somewhere I just popped a fuse or something !


  4. I have a 2005 centurion lightning with the 330-horsepower MerCruiser

    Just replaced the front and rear battery

    I'm having intermittent starting issues

    It eventually starts but sometimes when I go to turn the key I get nothing

    No clicking like it's trying to start, I can hear a relay go on back by the engine but no starting

    But, if I try eventually it starts strong, sometime 5 turns of the key sometimes 10+, but it always starts and hasn't left me stranded. (Knock on wood)! Any ideas

    Cleaned terminals and contacts on batteries when I replaced them this week

    It's weird hopefully some else has experienced this before I drag it in and get in deep with a mechanic


  5. SO I picked up a barely used flyboy for cheap and compared to my big boy I like it so far

    I have short legs and the big boy is such a stretch for me to ride on the sweet spot, I feel like I'm doing the splits all the time

    A lil about me I'm 5'7" and 235 lbs

    The flyboy is awesome but lacking a little buoyancy for me, and now when I go back to the big boy I feel like its sluggish comparably, possibly need a bigger wake then my Centurion LIghting

    I need a Mid-boy I guess, a little more volume in the front of the fly boy and a shortened center point for a narrower stance


  6. So we've had some heavier rains here lately and with this cover I have had some poling of water in it

    I Don't know if it's because the ski pylon sticks up in the back, but I had to resort to putting a support pole from my old boat in it

    On a plus note the cover is not leaking

  7. So I ended up ordering a Westland Boat Cover in the Sharkskin SD

    Westland Custom Fit Boat Cover,

    CENTURION LIGHTNING w/PROFLIGHT SWOOP TOWER

    DOESN'T COVER PLATFORM,

    2004-2004-Sharkskin Supreme SD Fabric

    The Fit is super tight on my boat but hopefully it will loosen up over time, I think that my worn out cover was all stretched out and that finally ripped all the way through last weekend

    I appreciate that unlike my previous cover where I needed support poles the the front and the rear, they are not necessary in this cover
