I was wondering how many people are like me and can't afford anything but an old cruiser or an old sea doo?

My dad just decided to let me get his old 1984 Success Tri-hull with a 120hp I/O running. It is pretty darn ghetto, but I nmust say it throws a pretty decent wake. I will post some ghetto fab pics when I can..

I don't even have a boat, I mooch off everyone... it's actually quite rad. I've ridden behind everything from a 2005 Calabria Pro V or whatever with a wake the size of me to numerous wally family i/o bayliners with elastic rainbow water ski ropes. As long as there are no stretching ropes involved I've always had a good time.

So I'm not too bad off. The next thing on my list is to make a tower for it, and get some cheap tower speakers. I have a CD player and a couple of left over car amps and speakers to make it totally ghetto fab.

Greg, that's what it's worth. I have no idea what he paid for it (it's an aluminum boat with a 70 HP motor). But when I first got into wakeboarding I wanted him to get a bayliner or something like that and he's like, our boat's only worth 1000.00. But it's cool now, I have a blast behind it and it taught me how to edge properly.

hahaha 14 ft. weldcraft with a 25 on a stick...it messed up today

nick you remember what that boat at o-dub looked like at like 7.....yeah we were serious

and the rail we made today consisted of a barrel, 3 pvc pipes, and weedeater string holding it together...absolutely nuthin else

our rope is from home depot and the handle idk what its made of

our weight in the boat is an old rim

but the wake is perfect, we have everything for when the boat runs down to a science and we ride good behind it Very Happy

hahahaha dude perfect day to ask that

on sunday ryan rode first and i was drivin from the back (cuz i gotta hold onto the stick), and i look up to see a snake goes fast as hell across the river so i point to it and ryan cuts out and pops his board on its head and mightta killed it...idk

so then maybe 5 mins before the boat breaks i fall and i was gettin the rope a fish litterally jumped 6 in. from my head and scared the sh*t outta me and i was still thinkin about the snake and ryan thought it was so funny he decided to just let me sit there for a while........it sucked

but yeah i ride on bayous and almost only bayous
