Mermaid

I love my 206. '09 with zo. The wakes are slightly bigger than a 196 at 30 mph, but I wouldn't compromise nautique craftmanship so this was my first choice when searching for an open bow.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I believe the Theory would have helped my confidence early next year however I just received my 67" Senate C. My main deciding factor for this is I found a brand new 2012 model for less than half price.

I am just beginning to ski the course and getting 4-5 balls at 28 mph 15 off. Riding on an older concept which I liked until trying a senate. This ski felt great but not sure if it too much ski for me. Not sure if I should buy a senate and learn to ski up to its potential or buy a theory and use it for a year before upgrading? I am 5'10" 175 lbs.
