Baller_ Wish Posted August 13, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted August 13, 2015 So I do not have any spares and somehow have lost 2 off the course. I used all my spares rebuilding when the course was distroyed by vandels last yr..or 2yrs now I guess. Anyway, I need some. I'd like to have spares as well so whatever you have I'd like to pick up. Thanks!!! Just PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted August 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2015 @Wish Go buy some 3" ceramic donut magnets at a surplus store. Are used to test pace makers. Were about a buck apiece. Safety tie to underside of buoy using tie loop. I have a bunch but not sure how to ship as are considered hazmat. You can have them. You skied them and didn't even know they were there did you?

Baller Jim Neely Posted August 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have extras. We don't use them anymore. Not sure what they would cost to ship from SC to Orlando. I'll check how many I have and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ DW Posted August 13, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted August 13, 2015 Count me as an interested party! @thager: do you have a part number or favorite surplus store you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted August 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2015 @DW Been over 10 years since I had to buy any. Was just a local Navy surplus in Minneapolis area. On magnet it says Card Guard, Scientific Survival Ltd., Cat#331257. Are 2 3/4" X 1/2" Center hole 1" across. Use a small compass to determine N or S.

Baller thager Posted August 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2015 PP does not care which pole is up as long as all are same way. All N up or all S up. These worked for me for over 10 years. I cover magnets with duct tape to protect boat from possible scratches but never hit them with boat or ski. Strength of these was way overkill that close to surface. You could probably get strong button magnets to work if you could find a way to adhere them to bottom of ball.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted August 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just looked on Evil Pay under ceramic ring magnets. Many choices for not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted August 14, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2015 using the same magnets above you could also cut out and insert them into the subfloats you can buy from Skier to Skier. use spray foam to seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted September 4, 2015 Author Baller_ Share Posted September 4, 2015 BOS comes through again. Not only was I able to pick up some magnets locally but made a friend with a great guy that has so much history in this sport. Including being part of a certain WR ski fly jump. Could have talked to him for hours. Thanks BOS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted September 4, 2015 Author Baller_ Share Posted September 4, 2015 @Onside135 Yeeeeup.. Amazing insite on Freddie's jump as well as the history of the local FL ski scenes back in the day. Even got to see some photos from waaaay back. Great guy. Was going to see him again at the next tournament but it has been canceled. Will certainly look him up at whatever local tournament I'm at including next years Masters.

Baller skimtb Posted September 4, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2015 Looks like OP is set? Anyone still have extras? I'd be interested in one or three for spares. Used my last spare last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Onside135 Posted September 5, 2015 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2015 @Wish…On top of being a great driver and great guy, Les is a wealth of historical information on the sport. I had the pleasure of skiing behind and riding along with Les in the boat recently. Learned quite a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
