Next time ill hook the GoPro to the boat facing forwards, it was intense!! like rally driving- sliding sideways past the buoys and over correcting :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The boat is still running great, last weekend was Australia Day so we used my boat as the tender and rafted up to watch the fireworks and celebrations

Wow! I can't believe what an amazing job you have done on your boat. This really inspires me to do some work on mine

MacGyver is it still getting some use? I know here in the U.S. the weather is getting significantly warmer hopefully it is over down under as well!

Up until last weekend I hadn't taken it out for about a month, as the weather is cooling down we went out for what i think will be the last time for the season. Had a great day of wake boardiing and tubing. I did a little bit of tuning to suit the rebuilt carbs and Tau-cetti flame arrestors and its running really sweet.
Ive sadly put it up for sale to add to my deposit to buy a house but hopefully if everything goes to plan in the not too distant future ill have a 230 wake with the twin supercharged 4 strokes sitting in the driveway.
I will be sad to see it go, its been such a fun project and huge amount of fun on the water.

Such a nice boat! I wish i would have enough money to do this with mine! How much did you put on the boat since the beginning if you dont mind telling.

All told it owes me about $15-16k, not to mention the countless hours/days labor.
That may sound like a lot but over here boats and skis are worth a lot more to buy initially or second hand.
Im sure all of the parts over there would be a lot cheaper.
