  1. Is it on the pass side of the boat? 3/4 way back on the top part of the engine?
  2. We put the boat in the water for the first time yesterday because a guy was supposed to come out and water test the boat and then hopefully buy it. Luckily he never showed, because I found 2 issues. 1 of which I will address here and one of which I will contact Centurion about before putting them on blast. First is my perfect pass. The damn thing is not working, it beeps when it gets to speed setting (21.5mph), and then keeps going up to 30+ and doesnt slow down. I tried restarting the boat several times, tried waiting for a few minutes thinking maybe it wasnt catching a satalite(clear day) and still nothing would work. I tried maybe 8-10 times trying to get the thing to hold speed and nothing would work, not even babying the throttle to almost the speed. I would even get the boat up to speed keep the throttle there and the boat would slow down to below the speed setting and not try to catch back up. The only difference from when we put the boat away was we had a shop do a leak down test and compression test and winterizethe boat before we put it away knowing we would be selling it over the winter and I just wanted to make sure everything was good for the next owner. The resetable breaker on the engine block was tripped when I started getting the boat around yesterday, which took me forever to find. But other than that everything appears normal. Any ideas as to what is up with the perfect pass not being perfect?
  3. Easy fix is to remove ads for paying members. Many automotive sites do it, when you become a paid member you dont see any more ads. I would suggest more ads for the non paying members, that way they become paying members
  4. looks so odd to me. http://wawaseemarina.com/?page_id=707
  5. Had a bite today on the boat and he was from Canada. He was curious if the warranty would transfer over to Canada, can anyone confirm of deny this for me so I can give him better information? THANKS!

    WW has been screwy since he upgraded the site. I gatta admit I really miss the old plain jane easy to use site and the awesome classifieds there used to be.
  7. why should I NOT buy an MB?

    What are the things that you disliked about the MB?
  8. So Ive been thinking that I might sell my Falcon and get something else. I visited a local MB dealer and actually really like the new 21ft Tomcat, even though Id most likely go with a 23ft, same boat and hull just bigger. Im going to demo the boat and see how I like it, see if all the hype if been reading is true. Im really looking to upgrade my wakeboard wake. Im curious if anyone here has drove and or shredded behind a 2010/2011/2012 MB of any sort? Im curios as to any reasons why I shouldnt look at MB? Anyone surfed one of the new MB 23 footers? Im curious as to the wakeboarding wake difference between the falcon/avy/ and enzo? If anyone here has shredded behind a 09+SAN230 or the 08+236 crossover, that is the type of wakeboard wake I am looking to replicate. Ive drove and ride behind an 11 Axis A22 and while I really like the wake, it was a bit wider than the 230 wake, and for some reason I didnt feel that it had that same pop, but it did have lots of pop, just a bit different, plus at 60k I didnt feel like you got a lot for the money, where as the MB at low 60's you get all kinds of standard features, plus the ballast fill/drain in 60 secs is a nice bonus.
  9. cargo bimini

    Long Overdue Photo. Ill write more of a review of the bimini at a later date. For quick review Shade Provided 10/10 Quality 9/10 Function 8/10 Ease of use 6/10 Instructions 1/10 Shipping 2/10 Overall 7/10 I will say that it is by far one of the best investments I have made for the boat. Provides LOTS of shade, and stores my surfboards and sometimes kneeboards.
  10. will this boat be at the centurion texas get together thing?
  11. New Falcon V

    we need to get together before the end of the summer and shred. Ill have to find the photos of the ripped speaker cans from my tower shake/rattle. I always tighten everything good, and then get home and have a hell of time getting those tower leg screws undone, lol. Looks like I need to be in the search for a blade(wife is ganna kill me) because I want more wake, I just get so spoiled to ridding behind the newest 230SANTE and getting booted without any effort then get back to riding the falcon and feel like im working so damn hard I might actually make a trip down to see you guys so I can ride behind that falcon with the blade and see if its something I want to purchase. Can we make it a date?
  12. New Falcon V

    H20, I have never rode behind an avalanche or 230 enzo, hoping you have and are saying that the falcon has a better wakeboard wake than the avalanche and the enzo? If so Im thinking I might need to pick me up one of these switchblades and see how I like the wakeboard wake then. The only thing I dislike about my falcon is how freaking rough it rides in chop! But the surf waves ARE GREAT! Also Im beginning to wonder if maybe there isnt something wrong with my boat, because of how rough it rides in chop and beats the hell out of the tower, and everything on the tower, or is this common on your guys boats as well?
  13. I am in no way a doctor or want to be held responsible for anything I say 1) I didnt get PT although I most likely should have, I just didnt have the time with my work schedule. If you do some google searching you will find recommended stretching for this type of injury and that is what I did, when I remembered to do it. Being a student I would hit up my PT trainer on campus. 2) Today I feel great, I have 100% ROM, BUT it took at least 8 months to get 75% back. I was really nervous to hit the water this year and shred, but Ive been going 110% and havnt had one second of " ut oh that hurt" moment, for my shoulder at least. It will take a LONG time to heal this injury and the last thing you honestly want to do is rush it, time is the only thing thats really hard to wait on for this injury because it takes lots of it. 3) I do still have a large bump, I dont think it has gone down at all in size, it will be here forever, my wife hates it, but its kind of fun now to rotate my shoulder in a certain way to make the "bump" grow One thing I can tell from what Ive heard and read, DO NOT have surgery on it unless it is severe as surgery will make it worse and almost for sure will lead to arthritis in the shoulder within 5 years.
