Does anyone know the gas tank depth on a 2003 Malibu Sportster? I’m looking to replace the sending unit and want to confirm the WEMA 3049502 (11.5”) is the correct size. Boat is 2 hour away and would like to order the part before getting to the boat. Any owners who have done this replacement would be a huge help!

Like @ahopkins22LSV says those forward bunks don't support the weight of the boat, that's why you never see anything like that on boat lifts. Plan to redo that bunk carpet every couple of years, so it doesn't happen again.

@dizzygtihow does the 2805 work say that you were wakeboarding with rear plug and play bags and rears at about 80% front and middle full wedge at 3 and running 21.5 mph and turn basically as tight as possible? Does it recover and get back to speed fairly quickly? That's my main concern since we like to wakeboard and have to go to narrow coves to get decent water on the weekends. I like the idea of lower rpms for cruising to get to our spots, but I do not want to trade off if it struggles to get back to speed after turning around. The 1778 already struggles some... But my buddy was driving and he said that it was worse if he turned to the right vs turning to the left... I will try that this weekend as I usually turn to the right to keep my daughter on her heel edge when taking the whip in the turn. 

No idea as I don't have to deal with any narrow turns like that.   That said, are you really wakeboarding with everything mostly full?   Different boats, but Gunther Oka's setup on the T250 for wakeboarding is no weight in front of boat, all center and rear ballasts and lead.   My boat with rears at 80%, nothing in front or center, wedge 1-2 throws a monster wakeboarding wake.   What line length are you running at 21.5?

Is the boat a little too far forward on the trailer?  Moving it back a bit might help.

No.   Front eye is at the roller.   If I don't get it there, the nose isn't resting on the roller at all after pulling out and on level ground.   I ordered these and some staples to get me by until I can address properly.   

Do you use two lines/anchors?  Mooring into the wind? Rafted up with others or solo? All these make a difference.  For most small (>30’ boats) a box anchor and line set with proper scope and a slide or screw in anchor with a short bungee snubber and 20’ of rope would work in that application. At 3-4’ deep, 20’ of front rope should be fine with a box anchor unless the current or waves are strong.
