  1. From what I have experienced with the big boy you need a pretty wide stance on it

    I experienced the exact opposite problem you had

    I had gotten a 2013 trident and found it to be way to slow compared to the 2012 one, and that is why I ended up with a big boy

    The board wants to be pumped but I have found no shortage of drive, speed etc,

    I was used to leaning forward on the trident to get it moving and when James was out here for a clinic he told me to not lean forward so far and just pump/move the board up and down and it just takes off

    I am 230 fwiw and have a pretty small wake on my lightning


  2. rode mine tonight

    wow, was it different riding a board that short

    I am used to a 5 foot board and to step down those few inches it is hard to trust it, but the boards there and very responsive

    I have short legs so to hit the sweet spot it was a lil stretch but this will be a fun board to explore

    Heres a lil shot on the good ole Mississippi6twl.jpg


  3. So the LCD on my Depth gauge went out in my 2005 Centurion Lightning, when I press the buttons it still beeps but nothing shows on the displays

    Anyone have any ideas if there is a suitable replacement that is just plug and play

    I had read in some old threads that you could get them rebuilt for around $150 but it seems like you could buy a new one for that and not be out of it for over a month


  4. So vacation week is here and I decided to pull the trigger on a Trident

    I was super hesitant to go back to a skim style board after a bad experience on one that wasn't the right size

    At 230 and with a smaller wake this board fits great

    It has been super fun, nice and loose compared to the walker

    We have put 2 450Lbs bags in the boat one in the locker and one that started on the seat and fell to the floor

    Here is a quick video feeling it out after we put sacks in the boat

  5. I know this is a old topic but can someone compare the trident to the outlaw and drew pro xxl

    I'm 230 and we are surfing a walker project comp x 5 on a centurion lightning and it's surfing fine with out ballast (just got the boat haven't added sacs yet)


  6. Just bought my first boat 3 days ago and have a few questions

    I have done some searching but am looking to see if anyone has added rear locker bags to a 2005 lighting with a center ballast

    Can I just come off the existing system and add pumps and bags or do I need to install individual pumps and water intake holes, the biggest thing I am worried about is drilling holes in the new to me hull

    Thanks in advance I am very green to this boat ownership I have always been able to ride along

    Its been a blast kiddos love the EZ ski

    Just ordered a aerial wake/surf rack combo for my walker project comp x 5 should be a fun summer
