You're not supposed to just drive it off the dock?

This is pretty common down there. Supposedly it's an insurance scam for people underwater with their vehicles. I don't think it's always that way things happen but I believe it sometimes.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
When I came up on this, I asked a guy on the dock if I'm seeing correctly, and he told me he saw the whole thing.
The guy let his girlfriend back their wave runner down the ramp. Enough said there....
I guess he got out of the side window, but then he had a hard time getting her out because of the water pressure.

Fastsigns. Thanks I'm happy. I hit the reg. numbers off ebay. They are not as nice but cost half as much. They were also harder to put on. The backing stuck too much.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I added seat suspension to both "captains" chairs (GF complained... she was replaced).
After this 10 min wide open 51MPH run I found out I needed a Smirek drive shower (drive lube got too hot and worked its way past the cap).
My son helped me add the flag pole kit (a must have IMO).
Considering upgrading the speakers and amp to JL.

Yep drive shower on a merc is a must. Where did you get the flag kit from?

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I ordered the flag pole kit from Cobalt via a regional dealer. If I recall, it was close to $350, but it is very well made and came with a sewn flag. It was straight forward to install, but drilling into the top deck was not a "natural" feeling. I had to have my son (then 10) hold the backing plate in place, as I could not contort myself into that tight space. IMO the flag really looks sharp - I always fly it.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Yes I have the flag and pole just no mount that's why I asked. They get gold for them and you can't buy the base by itself. So I was hoping you found the secret place. I'm going to get this for the tower and mount my flag up there.That way it's out of the way from getting in and out of the boat. This way it can hold my skier down and American flag.

The GF or the suspension? haha!
I'm dying to get the correct flag mount but I can't bring myself to spend that kind of $ on it... just seems absurd to me. I was also hoping you found the secret place.
