Barefoot International V Drive Boom Picture

[coldwater-echelon]

Does anyone have a good picture of a BI V drive boom installed on their boat. I'm curious as to how far the boom extends towards the bow and does it rest on the gunnel or is it elevated above it?

My dad has one on a '01 Sunsetter VLX.  The boom rests directly on the port side step pad when it's installed.  Don't have a photo of it installed but this may give you an idea.  You can cheat it slightly forward of the step pad by keeping the cables a bit on the short side.  This helps keep you ahead of the spray.  Ideally, you'd really want 2 extensions if you were going to do a bunch of footing training, especially with smaller footers.

That water just cries out for a big fat surf boat to plow down it. LOL

Surfing on water like that before 9 am should be a federal offense.  lol
