  2. NEW FEATURE: Crew Shoutbox - share with everyone

    what are the things that were disappointing? I looked at some axis boats while i was having my boat scanned for a code . I thought some things were ok but saw weird things with the gel coat and the dash was awful . did not drive, but i am interested in what you thought .
  3. CRAIGSLIST FINDS

    . Hey dark, I contacted them a couple years ago about a boat and and signed up on there email list so I do know they send out a lot of emails with info on boats for sale. The good thing is the listing may go out to a lot of people who may miss or not check there website on a regular basis. I actually just got an email with a grouping of boats. What is the down side , I don't know, but could reach more people. I was close to listing my old master craft but a buyer found me sooner than expected. Good luck
  4. 2016 Trailers

    Has any one seen a metal flake painted trailer ? may be to expensive . It sure would look cool though , especially at night with running lights and reflections from traffic.

    One difference is you have your board leashed to your ankle which gives you something to grab onto if your hurt, I know I have had to swim quite a bit when board gets caught by wake when falling. Also you are in shallower water vs in the ocean usually, where in a lake it may be 100 + ft deep. I do not mind the comp vests, there less restricting than a 3/4 wetsuit, but then again I live in nor cal
  6. We had a incident with a boat sunday at berryessa in napa co , jet boat came screaming into a cove where we were having lunch and they started waving . They were taking on water pretty bad but were able to get close to shore , luckily i had my tsunami pump with me and was able to get it to them. The transom was just about 3 in from being covered but about ten minutes with bilge and pump they were able to get 90% of the water out , was not so keen about towing a sinking boat so i got the water sheriff to help . No injuries thankfully, but i saw a lot of beer and no life jackets on there boat. Got to be safe out there! besides that ,glass all day.

  9. The Ultimate Crossover Boat

    Bill,Those are awesome statements about this forum. It is the (in my opinion) the most neutral and informative site going. I was a member on some others when i have owned different boats ,but centurion guys rock , definitely not over run by kooks and bozos.

  12. Be "That Guy"

    . Close to what happen to me , just no comment about drinking . I will say that in no way am I grouping all of them ,just a comment about this certain guy,who knows most of time he may be OK, I think he was mad I made a gesture about his approach skills and that I wanted to protect my property. Who knows everyone has a bad day . I was actually having fun , my wake was on that morning and that got squashed.
  13. Be "That Guy"

    wow great thread. my wife and i have helped out a couple stranded boaters at lake berryessa even towed a boat with our first boat which was a small prostar 190. always collect trash, past members of the surf riders foundation , and have helped people with dead batteries on boats a few times as well , but yesterday we got pulled over by the water patrol (sheriff ) and he treated us like complete idiots and on top of that he got mad at me when i tried to keep his boat from hitting mine, he accused me of pushing him off . I fully believe they are the ones who should be some what nice and inform you of something you did not know in a civilized manner and spend more time citing out of control jet skis and swimmers swimming across boat launch channels . Anyways lets pay it forward , its not hard . I do not understand why everyone is angry and impatient.

  16. August 2015 pic and video thread

    The bilge was running , you could see it shooting out the side ,full stream lol lot of distractions for sure, summer is so fun.
  17. short list is a phillips screw driver and a slot screw driver. if you have a cordless screw gun it makes short work of it and a right angle cordless screw gun is handy, as well as some hex head drivers for hose clamps. there should be four angle brackets holding it to the floor , i found it easier on one to pull screws out of tank first then remove angle bracket. a hair dryer or heat gun helps with heating up hoses to remove from tanks . yours may be different but i would not think so.
  18. 211 or 238 must be the 238 right ? can't wait for an honest to goodness review. have fun for us guys at work.
  19. This is a little off of the ballast stream here , but has anyone here owned a centurion then switched to supreme? my Question is how do they compare ride wise, as i have grown to love the ics construction with the walk thru and dash tied together. coming from another brand the solid feel of the centurion made me happy, do the supremes feel solid? why , since they are a fine line boat have they not done the same . my guess is because of molds ? or just staying with what works for that boat.

  22. No doubt things can go wrong fast with a heat gun, i would use a hair dryer first if someone has not used a heat gun. How do i know? I tried to take my stickers off my work truck about 7 years ago , I can still see the logo etched into the door . whoops
