    Yeah, good question! You're supposed to be a Merc guy (and team)!

    :lol: :lol: :lol: I love this!! Honestly nothing. I was asked the question and did not know the answer. Some would say I bleed black and I guess they would be right.

    My next job is less glamorous than building triples. Time to redo the barges. The pontoons are shot,the decks are shot,the carpet is shot. It's like being married. You take the good with the bad.

    Edd,

    Season end early for you guys too? I assume you guys are just as bad as down here. The river is insanely high right now.

    Yea, we have only skied once after Nationals. We pulled the jump to the beach weights and all! That was fun. The water went up so fast that the chains were to short and it was pulling the jump under water. The starting dock is 2-3' under water. So we are done.

    That's a lot of water! Doesn't your jump have some sort of winch for adjusting the tension on the anchors? We have to pull ours to shore whenever we aren't using it, so we don't end up having problems quite like that. We do have about a 3-4 foot change in water level from early season to late season though, and that makes for a lot of adjusting of docks and jump. We usually don't even get the jump out until mid-late june due to the fast current. Right now, our water level changes about a foot a day. They keep dumping water at night and holding water during the day so it's easier to run cleanup efforts on the bridge (which is one dam south of our ski site, about 1.5 miles). Rivers definitely make things interesting! Hope all comes out ok in the end!

    (3) big block E-tecs do fit on a new Dyna-Ski without jack plates.
