Baller unksskis Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 This is an interesting product launch/release tactic. Leaked info on demo's, and highlighting old prostars on social media, but that's it. This thread even died over the weekend, a thread on the main Forum for skiing about a newly designed ski boat, and the boat that supports the website. The impact and interest of this new product is being lessened by the lack of information and release, very confusing plan regardless of any Covid impacts.

Baller unksskis Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @Horton that's my point, the views are there but no content. Views aren't always the best measurement, especially when there isn't any content. If there was a link, or something where engagement could be measured, that would make sense. The lack of information will dampen the impact and excitement. To your point, how many people keep coming back to see an update, and what that is doing to their opinion on the product, company, and launch when there is nothing? That's a lot of views for a bunch of arguing about capacity placards, Australian exchange rates, and dislikes of the current boat. Very little/no info on the new boat, which the longer it drags on the less impactful the launch will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2020 @unksskis sorry, it looks like I retracted my comment before you made your second one. You are just going to have to wait and see. I'm under the impression they have a plan. I suspect there are some pretty smart & talented people who are just getting ready pull back the curtain and let you see their new creation.

Baller escmanaze Posted June 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2020 @skierjp I'm a BIG prostar fan. I got to drive my first one this last saturday. Still love it, even though it isn't a freight train for tracking. Nevertheless, I've just never understood why, across their whole line, they decided to make their boats have the appearance that a big giant I-beam fell on them before leaving the factory. Maybe some day I will get to talk to the artists behind it and see what the thought process was. Even as such though, it's still the 2nd pretties ski boat out there behind only the 200.

Baller usaski1 Posted June 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2020 I was kind of hoping they would leave the current generation alone for a few more years.. I sure was enjoying having a current model Prostar. Makes no difference though.. mine still skis and drives great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2020 @usaski1 yeah the current boat is just so good. My first reaction was "how much better can it be"? It has been 7 years since the last redesign so it really was time.

Baller TEL Posted June 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2020 The bad thing is I am planing on selling my 08 196 this winter and picking up a used promo boat. Test skiing and driving the different boats I had decided on a 20 Mastercraft. It now looks like I will be spending more money than I planned on. The same thing happened when i bought my lake home three years ago I ended up spending $100,000 more for the right location. Now, I know that a boat will not make me ski better but if the new ProStar tracks better than the 2020 @FWinter and i will have to talk about selling his new boat to me.

Baller Dacon62 Posted June 24, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2020 Well @tru-jack ...let’s get nuts! @Horton how about a free Prostar T to whomever guesses the closest? 1)Made for Prostar Dockstar/Trackstar system to make it track like a train. 2)Adjustable running surface toward the rear to be able to manipulate the wake, adjust attitude, side to side balance, etc. 3)Or an automatic MTS system. 4)???

Baller BraceMaker Posted June 24, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'd have to think the two main fixes would be A: eliminating that bilge blower for intake temps and B: providing some form of tracking/rudder tuning.

Baller RAWSki Posted June 24, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2020 I am thinking an improved screen. Integrated programmed trick ballast-system Adjustable rudder And a MC version of Micro-tuners for short line wakes. --------------- AND (going for a Panda here) rear facing kick ass stereo with below the platform sub woofers with a Skier remote control!!

Administrators Horton Posted June 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2020 @RAWSki more likely to get a Panda for thinking micro-tuners are a good idea.
