  1. Sorry guys that was my mistake I agree the Sporter is very different and wasn't t a fair comparison.   

    I meant to include a 2000 Response LX near me but its gone now.  But I did find the same hull in a 99 close bow that seems like a good deal for a very good boat.  Doesn't have the room or open bow of an LXi but I wouldnt turn down a pull behind it.

  2. SeaDek material is proven over the last decade and is cleaned pretty easily with power washing.   Love decadence but it does get hot on the feet. Carpet has really seen its days and it gets hot as well.  Definitely keep it removable.

    There are some interesting options in the pontoon world but they would require glue to install like carpet.

  3. You need a lake/aquatic specialist with real knowledge and experience, who can debunk fact from fiction.  

    Something similar happened to us 20 years ago when we wanted to change how we managed our lake weeds.  Lots of crazy assumptions were made without any real facts.

    "putting back sediment and phosporous" is the first red flag, phosphorous generally comes from run-off into the lake and the most common cause is from home-owners using fertilizers on their lawns.  

    Mis-information is  your worst enemy. Good Luck

  4. @Dano hit the nail on the head  if its not a MC or SN then noses will be turned up high.  Love that Sanger is doing something unique and "Retro"   Recall Centurion also invested in AWSA approval and supported local regional and national tournaments throughout its run.  I dont recall anyone complaining that they had to ski a tournament round behind a CP usually the opposite.  

    I also dont agree with the CP being classified as a "stripper".  Having owned and promoed 2 for several years.  Asisde from the dash interface ----- I cant recall missing anything. ZeroOff,  The fuel gauge worked, had a heater and heated seats, good quality vinyl, dual side fuel fills, unique gun sight drivers aid, oh yeah and pretty sure it introduced SeaDeck to the ski boat market.  (OK that last one might be a negative!)

  5. We run Wally turn balls on our public water course.  have used all brands for boat guides and gates cant say one is far superior to the others.  Marine Max on Amazon or Radar thru Wakehouse seem to be the most cost effective.

  6. The sites used for the ProTour 2-3 decades ago were able to accomodate huge crowds and the party atmosphere provided by the main stream sponsors.   The water conditions those Pro's competed in would be totally bashed by todays' skiers and everyone on this forum.   Robin lake would look like a Shangri-la compared to most of those sites.

  7. Had 4 boats with original heatercraft 4 position (Off-L, M, H)  switches and only had one go bad?  I ran two thru an available ACC switch on dash because they were there and never had an issue,  it makes sense to reduce use of the HC switch. 

    I have noticed that the new boats arent even offering 3 fan speeds  (SN is on-off and I think MC is just low high) 

    Good Luck

  8. That is a nice boat and has most all the options you want and a tower.  Like others said a lot of idle hrs will be found if you hook it up to a computer.

    The other one that @Mastercrafter showcased is a great deal too, even though its over 1000 hrs.   It's our club boat!

    Sadly MC does not offer hardly any warranty to clubs or commerical operations.  They cut it down to almost nothing (1 year - 100hrs I think I was quoted) which is a little disappointing but if you have a good dealer they might go to bat for you.

    Good luck in your search.

  9. Very interested in this thread.  Can see this working for some states or regions in the US as well.

    For Gate Cameras CAT5 cables and 'Video Gates' on a windows10 Computer can work very well and isn't too costly, portable tripods for the cameras if there are not posts pre-set.

     

    Our club is fortunate to have a decent tower for scoring and judging of slalom + jump using VG & VTM

    Trick is a 'Whole Different Animal' that requires a lot of space and personnel. We have imagined a 'Trick Trailer' about 7'x16' with AC  and counters to accommodate 4 judges stations, one handles the video clips/timing (from cards or downloads) and the other 3 score from individual monitors in front of them.

    As iTrick becomes more available the trailer could be easily used for that system as well.

     

    Good Luck @rasmusmikkel
