Sold mine last year, same as this and mint. Regretted it almost immediately. The massive bonus on this particular boat is it's NON-CAT, so one problematic issue with o2 sensor well you won't have.

Keep up with the drone footage @Spencer_Shultz.

Gee that's a good write-up.

 Looking forward to my first ski behind a TSC3 196.

Thanks!

05 is TSC2. 😉

That is a DV8 my friend, not a C1.

@Cooper_Trelawneythat situation is burned into everybody's brain now. Any boat deal with Nautique for anybody this would be the first point discussed after money. Regina would have done this deal with eyes WIDE open.

What I notice is Joel has a super cool eclectic taste in music, always good sound on his Insta posts..

Soon enough Correct Craft are going to own Facebook, Google, Pfizer and Tesla. 🙄

I've been using two ML Ergo's for some years now and there's hardly any wear on either of them.. Only problem is they both bent in the middle, which I now actually prefer.

Also Nate mentioned last year he was a strong chance to miss this year but seems like he will be there.

Excellent points. Ultimately, the free market will decide. Not Govt. agencies.

Ahh no, the Government will decide via legislation. The 'free' market will have to adapt.

There are so many things I've heard from better skiers than I about driving and ski setup that I'm 110% certain is complete and utter horseshit but I can't say anything because what do I know... I read them every second day on here even.

This boat is unbelievable. It looks brand new. Extremely rare to find one in this condition let alone have that 502 in it as well. Not sure about 28k though for a boat of this age. I'd hate imagine how much fuel this would go through..

Anyone have a photo of the PTM mounted on an OB 200? I'd like to see where it sits..

@MattL go to an inline skate store. They'll have a box of spare buckles out back you can get cheap. I did it for my R-style years ago and no problem.

Also my mounts have a little rust in there but still are ok. Spray in some WD-40, screw the screws in and out a few times to make sure thread is still good and re-mount. I do this as a matter of maintenance a couple of times a season.

Well, except for Moomba. Which she won. Possibly whilst pregnant..

@Wish my money was on Joel, just a different Joel. Maybe tomorrow..

Nautique are pretty accommodating. 🤣🤣 

@Scott Russell agree with your comments re horsepower v torque. For example the DI 5.3 puts out the same torque as a 6.0 but with less horsepower. Not sure where in the RPM range the numbers appear but it's interesting for sure. I've neither driven or skied behind a 5.3 so can't compare the feel but most on here would say the 6.0 is better. The DI 6.2 is a noticeable step up.

That's a horrendous video to be putting up as a sales pitch I'm afraid.

@ISP6balli think you missed my point. 43 is no chance.

Ok now that we've got the number 200 and we know the world record is 2.5@43. Let's restart the thread about someone running 43 😆

Let’s not forget…World Champion…

Spot on @wish

We've been over Joel's bindings on another couple of threads. I especially love how there's plenty on here who ski maybe a couple times a week at 12m and question what he does despite the fact he's a World Champion, skis every single day year round and very soon to run 41. I'm pretty sure he's got it covered..

Enough of the free advertising. They didn’t want to come to the party

@Downunder a painted electric over hydraulic nice trailer from Easytow - approx $18k. Skis $3k, boats $200k +. All of this can only mean one thing, it's not gonna be pretty when it comes. And it's coming..
