I've always wanted to have a go at wake boarding as I picked up snowboarding within about 10 minutes and reckon wakeboarding would be a good laugh. Got a dodgy ankle these days though so i'd probably just break it

Ok Rich - here`s the general picture.
Was skiing on a pair of skis & my pal also on a pair off the same boat
He was doing 2 laps of the alke & i only one
Misjudged my exit & hit the jetty
But caught it a glancing blow & my arm got trapped in a cleat as i went by.
Stopped my pretty good but tore all the flesh off my right forearm
(medical term de-gloved)
3 1/2 pint of claret & a helicopter ride + two skin graft ops

took a lot of finding - need good condition, low hours & extras
![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
stereo, covers - the topof the bow lifts off to give extra seating or a bathing pad.
Might need you to provide a couple of honeys for the next outing

used to have an old school flecher arrowbeau with a black max 150 - topped at 64 ish trimmed right up on mirror water
Was the best boat i owned and we went through a lot! 15.5ft glastron with the 175 was probably more fun but far far too dangerous lol

I had a 180GTS with a mariner 175EFI Ski last
great boat But prefer this as is newer & a bit more refined.
I fitted hydralic steering to the last one but the bloke i used to go to for parts has gone out out of business
any idea where i can get a steering kit?

WE got our fletcher through crossan marine which is in balloch but thats up this way - he is also a mercury dealer.
Wrong mike - the fletcher was awesome handling - bar the Ring we had it was the hardest steering boat we owned![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
The glastron however did massive jumps and could spin 180s like a jetski! lol Almost sank it a few times in calm water playing lol
Left the trim down and it would screw over on the prop - put the trim up and if it so much as sniffed a wave you would be airborne for at least 25ft lol sometimes much worse and always landed proper back first lol scary times
