Just got finished (for the most part) building the best wakeskating ride I could imagine.

Purchased a 16x 48 Alweld Aluminum Flat boat and side console and from there took it to the next level.

Steering Motor and throttle controls: came off my old boat (RIP). 60 mph fell off the trailer on I-55
Tower w/ a towing ball welded for towing: roll cage off my friends '80 Chevy S10
Thanks to: KICKER Audio Hookin it up with a bangin system KMT6 Tower speakers KM10 Subwoofer and DS series 6.5 Mids.
Board Racks hinged Flooring for Fat Sacks Live-well (ballast or dry storage) Shoe racks ski mirror this thing is roughing it smoothly.
All fabrication done by roommate and I.

Thanks for lookin tell me what you think.

Ha. I did get to ride w/ R.lemons but not when he had the tower on his boat. And inside outs are glorious, but what was surprising was its got a nice w2w. w2w 180 are a blast.

I spent over time over 5K. I bought the engine and steering as a Katrina engine from a dealer.
40 Yamaha - $2100
Boat just frame - $2000
Tower- Free
Speakers- Kicker hooked it up through a lil sponsor, paid $160 for the SUB.
Amps- $40 dollars of ebay and an old one i had layin around.
The sound uses a ipod straight to amp via headphone jack to rca inputs. (by pass a head unit) every thing is controlled by the ipod.
Flooring- Marine Plywood we had in the shed that we water sealed.
The little things add up too. Screws hinges speaker wire electrical connectors jig saw blades drill bits ect.
Def a fun project boat that turns a lot of heads.
