Radar X

Confirmed...10-32 fit perfectly. Thx again @skialex

many thanks @skialex

Does anyone know the size of the screws used for the forward most and rearward most inserts on recent year HO skis? (I believe these are the inserts for the Exo system). It seems they are slightly larger than the typical insert. Just bought the OB4 bindings and the plate aligns with these inserts perfectly but my typical binding screws don't fit. True of both my S2 and friend's A3. Thanks in advance.

@horton - appreciate the detailed comments/advice, bias notwithstanding. I'm not from FL so the difficulty lies in flying/driving all over the country to test individual boats, especially dragging kids along. Necessary evil perhaps.

@swc5150 great question/point on kids driving. Yes they do and ditto on the "bobble head". Boat only would be used early am on public lake and on private course lake so no "boaty water". So, follow through question for you 200 guys: Comparing 5.7L 200 422 prop with 6L 200, does the 422 prop make the 5.7 equivalant to the 409 in terms of RPM's, fuel usage, and holeshot?

Impressive video evidence for CP @horton. But like @chadw, I "need" the open bow for the kids. If I recall you did a write up on the prostar wakes awhile back - comparable to what you show in that video?

Points well taken @Jody_Seal‌ and @jhughes. We are in a 196 currently and get a great deal of water time. Trying to justify the upgrade and to make sure I optimize that upgrade by getting the kids the best wake possible.

I hate to open this can of worms but really need some input here. For those of you who have experience with both the sn200 and new prostar, which do you think has the better long line/slow speed wake for kids starting in the course? It is unrealistic for me to get my kids behind both to make a decision and so any thoughts you guys might have would be extremely helpful. Do your best to suppress brand loyalty to the degree that's possible. Thanks in advance for your input.
