BAJA - I just did all that on the pc using photoshop. My boat is STILL white - UGGGG - I'm about to switch painters and do something different. Thats the only thing keeping me from finishing my boat.
Nitro - Those are Indeed wakeballs. LOL

Didn't get to surf today at work, but when I came home and flipped on the puter..........
I see "Team Wakeballs" and knew something wasn't right.......:D
That is a cool thing! So cool in fact that I'd like to see how much some good graphics would cost to have done up for the boat.
They say that waiting is half the fun or is it?

OH OH OH, Am I a member of team wakeballs racing?????:D I Love it man! I'd put em the boat to just to make people curious what the world a wakeball is......Of course we would never be able to explain. but hey win some races with BH a little north, DD in germany and me here in Fl we would own the globe!!!

yea your a member ;)
I think I'm gonna have a a team wakeballs sticker made. LOL
If I can get them done cheap enough I'll get some extras and send you both a couple ;)
Doubledog
07-03-2003, 10:47 AM
Do them up right and I'll take a few. One for the convertable, the wife's car and the boat of course.
I'm good for it. Paypal ya' cost plus a little extra for your trouble.
Just nice letters that peel off would be good. No need for a bunch of background color. You know, kinda like the Calvin 'Pee on Chevy' etc.. where you stick it on your back glass thing.
Mr moderator, Can I get a signature block?

07-03-2003, 01:31 PM
Yea count me in as well. I can square up with whoever or order as well since I do paypal. this dude david over at vinyl graffitti did a good job for me I'll check with him as well. but mine hafta have the wakeball logo! :cool:
My wife about flipped when I told here it was time to start working on the Wakeball Hydro !!! after some experience with the vee I want that thing to be a beast :D when its time to build her we are going to be doing some planning. I'll probably downsize the flotilla at that point just to help free up some extra $$$$$$ cause in that bad boy I want a wicked motor!:D
Later my friends

I didn't see this phrase until Brushless Hawaii posted the pictures of the # 12 Pennzoil Boat. Am I behind the times, if my boat is the one that started "Wakeballs", then I would like to at least be the water boy.
Please, can I play!
BTW the #12 Pennzoil boat has made it to 42.8 MPH, and more testing this weekend.

Ugggggggggggg, I got the boat out today and I still don,t have the Dang throttle cable to where it is smooth. Ugggggggggg:mad: :mad: :mad: However, I did get it out and ran it for a bit and it seemed to have a nice attitude but with the cable being tight I don't think I was able to get full throttle. I'll try to get the throttle cable thing straightend out so we can get busy and see what it'll really do!:D

Yea I know what you mean. WHEN test fitting everything I saw that maybe a slight problem to tinker with. Good Luck.
Update on my boat Painter was supposed to paint this week. yet still no start - UGGGGGGGGG
But I finally finished Polishing Everything last night YEAAA
My God I had so much stuff to polish it took me days of a few hours a night. But I stayed up to midnight last night just so I could finish. I used the same shirt every time I went to file, sand, polish or buff. It waswhite it's black now Black Now. LOL
now I'm really done with stuff to do until it's painted.

BH, find your thread and add some photos of the gear to it.
Steve, Steve, Steve. :( Don't you hate it when something as simple as a throttle cable throws you for a loop?
If you need, I or Bh can take some photos of our setup if it'll help.:)

Oh, HAHAHA I was looking for places to put the team wakeball logo and my boy ask me what a wakeball was.Told em my best guess was that it was the rise of water in the swirl when your doing doughnuts with your boat but he should really ask Doubledog. Then he ask me what a Doubledog was!!!!!!! :D :D :D Bahahahaaha Man I love my kids. Maybe I can get a pic posted tonight of the boat moving.
Later All,

Its one of those names that comes about when you mix a little too much fun along with a little too much liquor and some friends that have a joke for everything. ;) Good memories, bad headaches.:D
You drinking hefe weisen? A man after my own heart. Nothing like a good heavy brew to slow you down and help you think.

hehehehe Thats no lie Double. I remember once we were on a live fire with the big artillery. As soon as the round went out we heard "danger close" because a blow by tube didn't operate. Stupid Cherry liutenant stands up to see what an 8" howetzer round looks like up close. i had a buddy knock him off the top a M113 and right about where this lt's head was endend up a piece of schrapnel as big as my fist. Never heard "Thank you Jesus" so many times in one day before!:D

My Buddy was a tank commander and he had a private driving across a water crossing that was rather deep. anyways he told him to keep the tank at a steady speed otherwise the water wil splash back in on them.
well of course the idiot slowed down the wave came back and drenched them.
Thats private was not allowed to change clothes but everyone else was - his punishment was wearing those wet clothes all night long. LOL

OK OK One more. Had a captain once during Reforger that was trying to get to a "battle on the other side of a pond and told me to drive across. Got about halfway though when we broke through the ice. Dropped a brand new Hummer into about 5 feet of water. Whewwwww was batallion Pissed.

Sat morning my time (7 hours ahead of CST), and getting the stuff ready to go run. A good buddy called last night and said they'll be there today. Problem is, he speaks no english and my understanding of German is slight at best. Everytime he calls, I understand a handful of words then have to pass it of to the wife.:)
Anway's I'm stoked.
Maybe I'll have a few photos to share this evening and possilby think up a story or two along the way.
