  1. Hey Stanley,

    Just curious what your using for power to your wetsound 696's I just bought 2 and want to make sure I don't under power them. Also

    I'm really interested in the thresher, but I get married on the 26th so I can't do it until after then... so if you still have it by middle of march I'll probably be into doing a deal... any wiggle room on the pric...

    TJ, The water is still around 70. After the initial fall I really did not need the heater shirt anymore. We took the top off of the boat and the sun kept you toasty. We will ride until the north winds destroy the lake. This is the best time of year on the lake as there is no one and out there and the water is very nice!!!

    Think i am telling you 4'9 and the board is 4'8. I left the board at the Wheelhouse Surf Camp. Get the measurements posted up this weekend.

    The were banned from barbecue competitions because of such consistent results.
  10. Recently Wheelhouse determined that his original orange Shred Stixx Hazen Comp One was water logged and heavy. It was time to retire his sled and find a new board. Mrs. Wheelhouse put a post on Face Book telling the Wakesurfing World Wheelhouse needs a new board. The boyz at Shred Stixx heard the call the and ANSWERED! At Barrel Boss Wheelhouse had the HIGH honor of meeting the Gent's of Shred Stixx and sat down to talk with Nick. Wheelhouse explained to Nick he thinks the perfect wake surf board lies between the Comp One and the Thresher Shredder. Nick answered with this.... The new board is amazing. The size of the tail is perfect for creating a LAUNCH PAD. The channel in the tail allows the tail to release off of the wave. You can feel the tail wanting to come out of the water. The Board is super light and well balanced. It spins near effortlessly but has the most amazing Drive and Pop. Wheelhouse Highly Recommends this Board. The design and shape is a Perfect 10! Thanks Shred Stixx & Nick!!!!!
  11. Traeger Pellet Grill

    We have two Traegers and a big green egg. The traeger makes the best ribs brisket and pork butt. It is great for a day of boating. Put your grub on, set the temp, then hit the waves. Put your ribs on the lowest setting for three hours. Then crank it up a click and wrap the ribs for another two hours. EMMMMMMMMMMM EMMM GOOOOOTTTT!
  12. In order to make an educated decision on buying a boat that will be utilized for surfing, one needs to understand just about any inboard boat that is 21 feet in length or longer will throw a surf able wake when you put enough weight in them and have the right board. For instance Danny Lemke's 2007 21 Foot Nautique threw a much better wave than the 240 Enzo at 2010 Worlds. Is it because the 21 foot Nautique is a better boat than a Centurion Enzo? No it does not. Danny's boat was properly weighted. The 240 Enzo at worlds was not. Recently at Barrel Boss we rode behind a 230 Nautique. That boat did not throw near the wave Danny Lemke's 21 Nautique threw on the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Why you ask? Can the 210 Nautique throw a bigger wave than a 230. Yes. Especially when the 210 is properly weighted. The 230 at Barrel Boss was not properly weighted. The fellow RidaZ at Barrel Boss returned to the waters of Lake Minnetonka and convinced the local dealer the boat needed to be proven. The dealer agreed and apparently when weighted proplerly the 230 Nautique throws a really nice wave. The other thing one must realize is this. Different Boats are like surfing different breaks. The Enzo makes a different shape wave than the Nautique, the Nautique makes a different shape wave than a Tige and the Tige makes a different shape wave than a Sanger and so on and on and on. Therefore to say one boat or another makes the best surf wake is really a matter of opinion on what you like out of a wave. JamesZ rides a Centurion. Recently he did a photo shoot jam money get down session behind a 247. He said he had to adjust to the wave because it was different. He rode the wave for a few days and killed it. After all we are talking about JamesZ. When he returned to his home break behind his Centurion it took him a bit to get used to the wave. Why? You see different hulls throw different breaks. And different breaks take a minute to adjust to. Aint it cool! We get to surf different breaks. Regardless of what surf boat you pick, make sure your ballast system is automated and you order custom sacs that completely fill your available compartment space both left and right of the engine and under the seats in front of those areas. This means you do not have to throw 3 tsunami pumps over the side of your boat and fill six different sacs. You flip the switches and pimp fo tha .................. There are two schools of thought on wakesurf waves and boats. 1) The best wave you can get putting in the least amount of weight. 2) The best wave you can get regardless of the amount of weight. First, Category 1. There is no doubt the Enzo 230 or 240 win in this category. The hulls on these boats have a V-Shape. The V-Shape allows the hull to produce a very nice wave with less weight. The design works exactly as it should. Mark Sher's 240 Enzo throws a very nice wave. Leah, Mark and I went out for two days straight on his boat and had a blast. I really liked the wave especially for having three people on the boat and no Sacs on the seats. It was very long and very powerful and an absolute great time. Knowing our crew however, we would still throw a 750 on the seat because we like to get down like that. Second,Category 2. Other boats can produce an Enzo sized wave but most require more weight than the Enzo. A lot of these boats are built as crossover boats. Meaning, they are both good for Wake Boarding, Slalom, and Yes Tubing, and Surfing. This is not to say the Enzo is not good for Wake Boarding, Slalom, and Yes Tubing. Therefore a lot of the hulls get more flat towards the back of the boat. This design requires more weight to be put in the boat to get a surfable wave. In some cases this hull design will require you to put so much weight in your boat you may have to have visible sacs on the floor and seats. There are boats however that will produce a wave with no visible sacs that will rival the biggest of surf waves. This has to do with taking the time to design custom sacs for your boat that COMPLETELY fill the compartment areas and under seat areas in your boat. Custom Sac Design has been done with great care for the Enzo by people who know what they are doing. But not a lot of other boats. Please understand we have custom sacs in our boat the wave with just those sacs and the factory ballast and wedge the wave is really nice. Knowing our crew however, you may still find a 750 on the seat because we like to get down like that. Is category one better than two? It really should not matter. Why should it matter on how much weight you are putting in your boat? Regardless of which boat you buy. if you can fill the compartments in your boat with custom sacs that completely fill the available area at the flip of a button and if that weight happens to be 3000 pounds instead of 1500 pounds, is one boat better than the other? This is up to you. After all you are buying the boat. The guys at Inland Run 2500 Lbs in their Enzos with no exposed sacs. We run 3500 pounds in our 247 with no exposed sacs. The Inland Enzos turn about 3200 RPM's and we turn about 3400 RPM's. Is one boat better than the other becase it carrys less weight and runs at less RPM while hauling the mail? That is up to you? After all you are buying the boat. I have often thought of buying an Enzo and keeping my 247. That way I would have the best of both worlds. The waves are just that much fun. Finally the best surf boat is the one that fits in your budget. One with an automated ballast system. One that makes you smile every time you see her. The one that your entire family can get into for the day and not feel crowded. The one that fits in your slip, garage, or boat storage. The one your vehicle can handle towing. The one that does not drink so much gas it drains your wallet. The one that actually works when you take it out. We can go on.....

    CHeeRS!

    Yoda why u bein a playa hata!
  15. Now That's a Wave

    Though that is a Malibu it is not a 247 and does not replicate our wave. Be suspicious. We will be riding that monsta. If you are running 10.8 MPH you are not going nearly fast enough. I can assure you your setup is not the same. No BS with the photo. Rest assured the setup was not identical. Not on the wave produced by Sparkles. Our wave is long tall and very powerful. One Huge difference is the 450 HP motor. The prop is also key. The combo of engine and prop allow the wedge to be used at the top of the safe operating range. Not in the full down position. This really adds power and height. The height is extended toward the back of the wave. We ride 10.8-11.4. I was not able to do this in my 07 247 or my 08 247. Placement of weight is actually more important than quanity of weight. The really cool thing about the pic is there is no bull pooh behind it. The wave is replicable. Dig it yo.
