Denali C-95, anyone ride one not named Adam?
FishFreq replied to Jaypro's topic in Skis Fins Bindings
Looks like you got WORK to do John!! We're waiting.... ;) ! -
There was talk last year about a refresh of the 9700, so this Ventura might be the result? I liked the stability and speed of the 9700, just wished it turned a little better.

@APB Don't be afraid, the purpose of these latest innovations we're seeing is to improve safety as well as performance.

Freddie Winter runs 39 off behind 1979 MasterCraft ProStar
FishFreq replied to Horton's topic in Videos, Photos & Media
Awesome pass, and from the glance at that dash I'll bet it was hand throttled. There were only twin Aquameter speedos, no PP or ZO speed control. Those ol' comp boats had carburetors, no efi back then, so they were sometimes, well, often finicky. Nice to get past that age, one that has at least efi, much smoother hand throttling, starting around 1999, or better yet around 2007+ when they got throttle by wire so you can put ZeroOff on em.... -
Haha! Got it. I was thinkin' that and FL has ski weather almost year round so why have a sale? I've seen some markdowns in stores up north where they switch to snowmobiling and ice fishing but nothing to get excited about. Did pick up a pair of Syndicate 41 Tail gloves on eBay for $28, not many left though.

Lol, any particular place in FL? Checked out Miami Nautiques, didn't find anything....

Anyone find any good Labor Day sales out there? Hopped on thinking there would be a few online stores doing holiday weekend discounts to lighten inventory for winter/2020 gear, but found virtually nothing. Just looking for stuff like gloves, handles, vests, shorts, etc., not skis.

HO Syndicate Tail 41 Gloves Unboxing & Me taking my pants off
FishFreq replied to Horton's topic in Skis Fins Bindings
Who's used the inside-out Tail 41' and what's your thoughts on them? Looks like they make both inside out and regular still or no? I've got the red and black ones of a few years back, Love these gloves, real hand savers. Time for a fresh pair. Are the new ones as good as the old ones? I wish they'd sew them with a large seam ridge on the back of each finger like my gym gloves, see pic, it gives you something to hold onto, pull your fingers in with them, makes em SUPER easy to take off and on - way less stress on the gloves themselves. No I do not want half finger gloves, just an example. Anyone forward this to the guys at HO Sports to bounce this idea off them? -
Hey jetpilot4, I'm trying to both confirm what ECM's will perform correctly on my boat AND find one with similar hours to mine. Please bear with me until I get good word...
-
Still looking for an ECM with the same part number as mine. If any of you have upgraded to zero off and have your old ECM and/or throttle body laying around collecting dust, pls LMK, k? Thanks!
-
Wow, awesome guys! Glad to see there are some used ones out there. @oldjeep I saw that one, but it has a different part no than mine. I'm researching if that will still work. Can you guys post your part no, and how many hours yours had on it before removal?
-
Have you upgraded to Zero Off? If so, I need your used, good condition ECM or ECU, Engine control module. This is a 'Wanted' post: Looking for someone selling getting rid of an old ECM for a Pleasurecraft Marine Excalibur 330, for my 2005 Ski Nautique. It might be referred to as the MEFI 4/4b. The part number is R116021. They're expensive new, so you'll be helping a starving skier get his boat running again :) !

Here's a pic someone else already posted, but there's no plate connecting the two boots, and only two screws per boot holding them on! Thread inserts run dead center in middle of ski.

I skied the V-type HO at the demo day - very predictable, held lots of angle, stable, as to be expected, very fast thru the wakes. Didn't hunt or do anything weird - I really liked it. Stock fin and brake setting but I'm thinkin' with a little adjustment this ski would finish turning on my off-side better and I could run this ski. 66" was the only size they demo'ed but wish I could have tried the 65" (160 lbs). The new boot system was quite interesting. I'd call it 'minimalist' one-piece construction, amazingly light weight, no, feather light, with a removable footbed (so customizable). Med-low height soft upper with single draw chord is bonded to a hard base/sole that Dave Wingerter described it as having 'less shear movement' than with shell/liner type boots. The hard plastic base had slotted steel inserts for the attachment screws, and this was what really raised my eyebrows: only two screws per boot, yes one in front, one near heel running down the centerline to hold it onto the ski!! So used to seeing wide bases, lots of screws, shells with snow ski like buckles and this was the opposite! I talked to Dave about this and he explained that this wasn't snow skiing with a sharp edge onto hard ice or snow, so all that leverage is overkill. Water skiers actually need articulation to move their legs both front to back and laterally over the ski. Considering how many top skiers like Nate Smith that use a rear toe plate there's obviously truth there. Wish I took a picture: 3 screw hole slots center, left and right meant canting your rear foot open a couple degrees is no problem. They skied great, very comfortable for my wide foot and I'm thinking I'd like to spend some time in them. Whole package was crazy light and easy to hop on and ski hard. Only wish more skis had thread inserts straight up the middle....
