9800 review?

[Ilivetoski]

Thinking bout buying a 9800. Anyone ski one lately and have an opinion of it preferbly vs. Strada?

Thanks

Aaaah, I think it depends. I use a 9800sl and really wanted a new ski. Tested a bunch over the summer including Strada. After a month and a half of the 98 being shelved, I beat my Strada tests best score by 5 buoys. And most all the others. Kinda disappointing in a way cause I really wanted a new ski. I do run the ski with only a front ventral now and nothing else. That helped the ski a ton and made it sooo much easier on my body. Had I stuck with a standard wing set up I would have sold it by now. I think it has a smaller sweet spot at shoreline than the Strada. Which is well liked by many. What line length and speed?

Switched from a Radar to a 9900 and gained 5 buoys on my first set! I dont think there is a ski that is faster and gets wider through the course (for me anyways)...

@wish start 34-22 get into -32 every set (36 mph)

How much would you sell for?

Buddy of mine is moving from a 9800 to a 9960, probably selling the 9800 soon. I think it's a 67" but not sure, I'm not a Goode guy. If that size works for you I can put you in touch, no idea what he wants for it but you can ask him. Ed @ EZ-Slalom dot com
