will be at wakestock - if anyone is out and about on the water i'll be in a black sea ray 220 with tower. And in the evening i'll be in a state.

303.. hope you got as good a view as I did... awesome riding, in some tricky water. We basically started when there was 'just enough' water for the Xstar to kick out a decent enough wake and not ground. Brett did an astounding driving job, I think one of his first major comps in the driving seat - that driver job always interested me apart from the pressure

Just checked with my marine engineers and the prop is off and wending it's way to steel developments, fingers crossed it returns soon. I ended up getting the boat y$rd to oik Bob out of the water as I was busy and am happy to say it just looked like a bent blade on the prop... phew.

Bugger... the prop still hasn't returned. Basically Steel Developments don't start work until payment is made, which adds an extra few days delay into the process as you don't know how much it will cost until they receive the prop, duh!

So, I'm going to buy a spare one so next time it's a straight lift the boat, swap the prop, get back to wakeboarding affair... rather than a couple of weeks of hassle that this time has been.

Obviously Mastercraft will sell me a replacement, for top dollar, any suggestions for another retailer that ships next day?

The prices are on their website mate. Yours should be £36.50 + vat as thats what I paid a few weeks ago and its a flat price no matter how mangled it is.

I've always just included my card number with the prop and had very quick turnaround.

With the nice weather at the mo you really don't want to be without a prop! I'd be tempted to fashion one out of wood just to get on the water, I mean how hard can it be?

hey jeremy we will be out sat morning about 9am from beachley slip... should be 2 boats out so room for you to come along just let me know... hopefully the drift wood situation has calmed down a bit... the amount of trees in the rivers with all this rain has been bad this year... check out early last week approaching low tide!

[j3r3m7]

Well I've bitten the bullet and decided for a spare prop as well as getting Steel Development to fix the current one...

So next time I can just lift the boat, swap to the spare, go boarding!

I'm hoping to head off and do some boarding this Saturday lunchtime so we might say hello on the water.. that would be cool I'll pm you my mobile so we can get in contact...

Wow, those aren't just logs, they're trees!
