I use an Obrian I think its called the grand le tube, 8ft across, holds 4 kids or 2 adults comfortably. inflatable floor. Its held together for 3 years, both behind my 230 CC and my dads outlaw.( yes I tube behind a speedboat)
Ill second First Borns suggestion. Going from a 3 blade to a 4 blade will bring the boat up on plane alot easier, and be able to cruise at a lower rpm, but youll lose top speed. A 4 blade will "stick" better during cornering (not cavitate). You could possibly go with a same pitch 3 blade...

I dont know if this may help or not, but here is a pic of the cockpit of my 230. (sorry for the quality, pic was taken with cell phone) I used an OPTYX undercar kit made by streetglow. Their sealed LED, the tubes are clear plastic (flex) and have a few different modes, I.E, chase, flash, go with...

The work light bulb seems like a good idea, and I dont even bother with the fresh water system. As for rewinterizing the motor, I can just use a sump pump, muffs and the antifreeze tank at work, because I have no room in the engine compartment whatsoever besides disassembling my rear seat...
Hey guys,
Been awhile since I last posted, but I have a question. Its been in the 50's all week here in central Pa, and the weatherman says its going to be the same next week. Now Im trying to decide wether to cut off the shrink wrap and start dewinterizing my 230, or waiting until the beginning...
