Regional Tournament Boat Selection

[bojans]

My son will be skiing Midwest Regionals in a week and a half. Do the regional tournaments generally try to use the same boat that was drawn for Nationals?

 

The reason I ask is my son does not ski well behind the Malibu, he says the pull feels different. At Nationals 2 years ago he did OK behind a Malibu but that was after a week of sets behind one and changing his ZO setting. Normally I wouldn't worry and just suggest he go from B2 behind Nautique and MC to C2 and be done with it but he is only 12, the last time he skied behind a Malibu he was getting into 28 and not shortening the rope, now he is @32 and shortening.

@bojans yes you usually get the same boat at regionals and Nationals

@bojans if they don't provide the same boat for Nationals they usually let that be known, otherwise at Regionals you should get the same boat as drawn for Nationals.
