Baller BraceMaker Posted December 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2020 @6balls that's a great boat. doesn't solve for the actual roomy aspect of the boat but they are great wakes. Do that in an old SN 2001 hull ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted December 21, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted December 21, 2020 When I was 14 and weighed 100 lbs, I thought a 16’ Chrysler tri hull with a Chrysler 55 hp outboard was the cat’s nads. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted December 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2020 @lpskier at that age we were just getting started. The boat rotation included a 13ft Boston Whaler with a 20hp, and 14 MFG Corvette II with a fat four 60hp (44 on the Airguide). @6balls in a few more years the fleet included a couple classic trihulls, and a Glastron GT 150 with a 115 Johnson, hell of hole shot and walked a little 52 on the Airguide B).

Baller teammalibu Posted December 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 21, 2020 Learned the course behind a 15 ft. wood pickle fork tunnel hull Switzer Craft Shooting Star with a 65 hp.3 cylinder Evinrude. two of us could pick the hull up without the motor, talk about no wake! Half a century ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Clydesdale Posted December 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thundercraft tri hull with a merc 80. Thought i was gods gift to slalom. Easy to run the course when you can stop the boat dead in its tracks. Then... at age 16... I met my first correct craft. And reality smacked me in the face. ??

Baller_ lpskier Posted December 22, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted December 22, 2020 @Clydesdale Our neighbor and my first ski mentor had a CC Mustang with a 165 Chrysler (?). My first experience with a CC Nautique was at McCormick’s Ski School in 1972. What a wake at 30 mph long line. Or 32, 34 and 36 for that matter. And people think 22 off sucks today? Let me tell you about -22 behind a 75 Ski Nautique! Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Clydesdale Posted December 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2020 @lpskier yup! A neighbor still has one of those old nautiques. Once a year or so I give it a go just to make sure I appreciate current boats. Makes wake comparisons between current boats seem a little trivial.....

Baller KKelly Posted December 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2020 @lpskier I learned the course behind an old Nautique also. Started skiing at Cleveland's Ski School in Hawthorne, FL in @ 81 when I started college at Santa Fe CC. I was used to skiing behind an outboard and the first time I hit the nautique wake at @ 28mph long line it was an experience. I learned proper wake crossing position in a hurry.

Baller Interjon Posted December 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 23, 2020 Anyone have a video of (new - 2019-2021) Ski Nautique wakes under 30 MPH? Horton did a great video of Prostar under 30MPH, and I am cross-shopping the two. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
