  1. Pricing doesn’t seem out of line to me. It’s not Florida, not much competition around as fas as I can tell. Florida has ski schools every 5 miles or so. These guys have to earn a living. What does around of golf cost?
  2. I agree that is surely a great looking Nautique!

    new engine

    @Jody_Seal That might not fit in the existing engine bay but it would have an awesome hole shot.
  4. You guys should really get a Food Channel show! What a feast!
  5. I agree, I have no idea why but a radius handle has eliminated my sore elbows. I’m an old guy so what do I know?
  6. @DavidN May God bless your family. I’m sorry for your loss.
  7. I spent $25 k on dock and $5 k on lift in 2002. OT a dime since then. All aluminum covered dock 24 x 28 with IPE Ironwood decking.
  8. @Wish i believe the ideal operating temp for a GT-40 is 160, as such it uses a 160 degree thermostat. I had 97 SN with GT-40 for 7 years and it was solid at 160.
  9. @markn Jody knows what he’s talking about. Similarly I have a 2004 SN 196. My engine was running cold a couple of years ago. I changed the thermostat with a new 160 degree thermostat and it fixed the problem. Are you replacing the gaskets on the housing?
  10. I’m pretty sure I got it in early February at Keystone in Colorado. I worked there part time 2 days/week and we had a super spreader come through the resort who had just come back from Italy. Everyone he came in proximity to came down with it. My symptoms were flu like for 2-3 days then I was normal. Now my county is surging likely because people aren’t taking it seriously. Most fold are but 25% not wearing masks so I simply avoid crowded places. Exercise daily in fresh air and hit the gym twice a week when it’s sparsely populated.
  11. I recommend a Camaro Blacktech spring suit. They fit like a glove, no bulkiness, keep you very warm. If you're really chilly get the Blacktech full suit. Performance Ski and Surf can fix you up real fast. Great service and they will ensure your satisfaction.
  12. Get a Stokes vest. You’ll be happy, mine floats me higher than any other non USCG vest I’ve tried. Comfortable as well and doesn’t get bent out of shape in an OTF.
  13. Tai chi is very good for balance and agility. Most senior enters offer classes, very convenient and time efficient. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to gain massive improvements.
  14. It sounds like she had a tough time at Rollins. She should’ve gone to Alabama at first, likely it would’ve turned out much better. Tough lady to be sure.
  15. Yep shaving cream from the dollar store. Washes out of boot immediately and no slippage.
  16. Water temp down to 74, air 75. Got the Camaro top on today. Toasty but wind was kicking up to 8-9 mph. First world problems!
  17. Skied this afternoon water 77, air 74. Good at to be on the lake. Carolina blue sky.
  18. @Laz link says boat rental available.
  19. Age is just a number, 74 and I ski 2-3 times/week on water. 100 days/year on snow. Nothing like retirement!
  20. I appreciate the TWBC and their outstanding work to deliver an unparalleled webcast. ESPN would simply offer a highly condensed product even if they were to ever consent to waterskiing. Let’s be thankful for what we have now. I watched the entire webcast live and it was spectacular Now if we could only convince Tony Lightfoot that he is broadcasting in the USA and to announce in feet that would be appreciated. I can easily convert to metric but prefer our units of measurement.
