The ProStar wake at 26 MPH

@Horton if you have video of that pass you gotta post that

[ForrestGump]

Wow, there's nothing there!

[Horton]

@ToddF Marcus shot some of me at 22. It is on instagram

See the look of panic on in my eye? 15 off 36 MPH. At this point I no longer care about the wakes => I just want to make the pass

[Horton]

Here is the 15 off 36 mph wake

[Horton]

Here is what Todd thinks of the boat

 

 

[Craig]

I'm assuming the thread title is a mistake and the first picture is also 36mph?

[Horton]

@h2oski1326 Nope I am pretty sure that is 26

[Horton]

@h2oski1326 I double checked the photos. Here is the one ball turn from that pass. Looks like 26 to me.

 

[Craig]

@horton wow.

[DanE]

Hey, in the Pictures it looks like they managed to put the rooster tail (whatever is left of it) behind the skier @15 off? Is it true or are the Pictures playing tricks on me??

[Horton]

@DanE

I skied almost every pass from 26MPH /15off to 34MPH/35off and wherever the roostertail is I could not feel it => I was looking for it

[Wish]

Well that's gonna make my daughters day if and when she gets behind that. Dare I say....looks better then the 200.

[Horton]

Looks like the boat works at 39 off also

That looks to be a far cry from the 2013 prostar's with a mountain of wake at 15 off.

[Than_Bogan]

WOW. Now I am getting pissed that this thing'll never get through the Mousehole Tunnel. Still looking forward to skiing it, though.

[crashman]

Um wow. I would like to see the rest of your spray @horton at 26 mph. Just kidding. Not really.

[kona]

@horton How does Todd ski with one Radar Vice glove and an HO Tail. That is an interesting combo. Style points for the life jacket matching the shorts though. :)

 

The wake looks awesome.

 

[The_MS]

This is the only thread about the new boat that matters.

[Than_Bogan]

I also wanna know how @Horton can get himself stacked like that at 26/-15. That is some awesome technique discipline to look like that skiing almost 10 passes back from his max.

[Horton]

@Than_Bogan

 

Simple. I am extremely talented at all the stuff that does not matter like skiing way below my level or skiing the same score on any ski but totally deficient at important things like flexibility, trailer backing, boat driving, spelling, grammar or skiing at a higher level. It is a Curse.

[Horton]

Ok back on topic.

[iceboating]

This is an excellent thread and one of the simplest and most helpfull boat test i have seen. It would be cool to see the TXI, 200, Carbon Pro and new MC tested in the same manner, 26 to 36 mph 15 off on up with a few pics of the wake crossings. Nice job H.

[The_MS]

@iceboating If this thread is correct, you now have all 4 boats on an even par and it wont matter what boat the slow speed long line skiers get. We already know that the CC, CP and TXI are great at long line slow speed. They probably will do it at the 2014 boat tests but you would have to be there to see it.

[escmanaze]

Thanks for taking that shot Horton. That slow stuff is my main concern and it looks like they did very well. That is very exciting.

[DW]

Great work JTH on covering an exciting new tourney boat entry.

[Horton]

Bump for Dean

[estrom]

@Horton, how did the A3 work at 26mph? Might be interesting to hear how a ski designed for the "top end" worked at much slower speeds.

[Horton]

works fine

[MrJones]

Wakes, wakes... Now they are all good for slalom. The modular design of this thing is super cool. You can get a strip down club boat, then when you sell it buyer can leave as is, or add what they want.

Now interested to see what the trickers think about it??

[east tx skier]

That wake looks superb. Does that bow cover come with some epoxy as an option so that it can never be removed? I suppose I would have to take it off once to get the seats out. But after that, I'd need to glue it down. I also expect that, before too long, there will be an optional nose cone for the purists. :)

[MrJones]

The interior is great. Snap in carpet. No seat or upholstery to climb over to the platform. No carpet in lockers to get nasty. Great ideas.
