Looks really good where did you get your pole from?

Pole was made by this guy PLD over on the PWCTODAY forums. He is located in Florida, great build, (powdercoated too!) and shipping costs, he is great to work with and recommend dealing with him!

PM sent ! :D
Don't mind the garage, its a bit of a jam sesh in there :lmao:
FYI!! ( to any noobs doing turf jobs, make sure the contact cement is not wet at all when putting the turf down alow about 10-15mins depending for it to tack up on both the turf and the ski before installing.
So i was short on turf but i made it work, I'm at the point where I just want to get it in the water haha. all extra $$ is being tied up in the motor as per usual.
Underpad (blue), finally found a use for a yoga mat(works Perfect!) turfing always goes great until you hit the footholds, :):):):) got a tad f@cked up on the left side (small patch job comming) Right side went very well but i had to do it in 2 sections but the designs match up so it looks great. I just have to do some trimming and slap down the turf tray today, i ran out of cement around 10pm last night haha. also got the chin pad all turfed up, looks great!
