  1. Took it to a shoe repair guy $15 works great
  2. This is my boot 18 months many many sets
  3. Not sure why people dislike the Hemi? Had a challenger for 9 years with a 5.7 hemi I bought new sold it with 274,000 miles on it never had any problems did not even replace a starter or an alternator. Changed the oil when the change oil light came on witch was at 7,500 miles. At work we have two 2013 hemi 1500 rams both have over 150,000 miles on them and everyone in the offices uses them, they even have been used to tow some heavy trailers with equipment and have had no engine or transmission problems. I bought a 2019 1500 Ram last year it has over 35,000 miles on it i have towed my hot rod and my boat with no problems. I ordered it with a limited slip and 3.92 gear, love the truck. No truck manufacture can touch their interiors and ride. But sense Chrysler does not make a full size SUV, I would just drive both the ford and GM offerings and pick the one i liked driving and get a V8. Towing a boat is no sweat with the current V8's and transmissions.
  4. Now that I am working on 35 off I guess it will be time next spring for this switch hand to change. There are more things going wrong with my offside than skiing switch hand but if it will help I am up for the challenge
  5. @escmanaze We happen to be in Salt Lake 3 years ago and stopped in to watch a tournament at Stillwater, beautiful site.
  6. We're flying to Salt Lake for a family commitment mid-August. Thinking of road-tripping home beginning August 16, Sunday. Hoping to ski in the Salt Lake area on August 16 if possible, heading home via two possible routes (see the maps). Anyone know of ski lakes along the way where we could pay for a pull through a slalom course? We're hoping to ski home in as many states as possible. We have six days to make it from SLC to Orlando. Love to meet other BOS people.
  7. Worth every $$ last year struggled to make 28 In one lesson I was told two things to change and I started to run them 90% of the time. This year I battled 32 took a lessons and run them off and on took a lesson last week ran 2 at 35. Did not want to name the coaches to hijack @Horton's plug for Terry Winter. Pro's know what they are doing, your ski bud's well lets just say there your ski bud's
  8. Living in Orlando and having Performance close by when I am looking for a new ski I get to try many. What I have found not being a short line skier that the ski i end up with is one that I feel comfortable on and one that doesn't do anything crazy when I have to scramble. When I am at a tournament the last thing I have to worry about is my ski
  9. @Justin_C I ski on 66" NRG and like it so much that i bought a backup from their factory sale. I ultimately end up with boot forward one hole and 0.013 forward depth and length stock. 36mph you may not want to move the fin that far forward. I would move the boot first then if it is not turning like you would like start moving the fin forward till it over turns then move it back a little. Enjoy it's a great ski!!!
  10. Well it did transform into a quiet and help with a heat soaked engine cover that no longer needs a blower any more
  11. All I can say is dammit now I have to buy a new boat. Mastercraft nailed it beautiful boat beautiful layout great driving boat driver seat was incredibly comfortable extremely quiet inside. Went out at 22 off virtually no bump then ran a bunch of 28’s Fred drove me for the first two My girlfriend drove me for the next four or five passes I lost count The boat felt extremely smooth definitely have Zero Off programmed to work with the Skier. My neighbor went with us he ran a PB one at 38 off he loved the pull and the nonexistent wakes his opener is 28 off. Drove my girlfriend 26.7mph she doesn’t pull hard but it was basically set the steering wheel straight down the course I don’t think I did any correction at that slow speed all the way through of course. Thank you Fred for going over the boat from one end to the other and for being a gracious host, I will be out to take a lesson at the boarding school with you. You’re a lucky man to be sponsored by the best boat builder in the business and I own a nautique
  12. 25 hrs and counting till my test drive and ski, can't wait. With all these question why does MasteCraft not do a boat over view on the trailer showing how everything works in detail. Like the you tube videos Nautique does. They keep putting out life style videos I thing we live it don't need to sold on that
  13. The bad thing is I am planing on selling my 08 196 this winter and picking up a used promo boat. Test skiing and driving the different boats I had decided on a 20 Mastercraft. It now looks like I will be spending more money than I planned on. The same thing happened when i bought my lake home three years ago I ended up spending $100,000 more for the right location. Now, I know that a boat will not make me ski better but if the new ProStar tracks better than the 2020 @FWinter and i will have to talk about selling his new boat to me. Friday is going to be so much fun! my test drive/ski is at 2pm
  14. @Horton Nope she's a keeper, she is the one that says did you see the lake is glass are we going skiing?
  15. I am signed up for a test drive and ski I will tell you I am so excited My girlfriend is ready to throw me out of the house. She will be test driving the boat hopefully pulling me she would ski but she’s on the injured list. I keep telling her I don’t understand why you’re not more excited, we all know what that’s like
  16. Was a great day and fantastic site ran two more buoys than the tournament the week before going in the right direction. I had brought up in the past no PA systems so I bought a couple Motorola radios and was able to listen to the judges Calling the scores much more enjoyable day
  17. Let me get this right some of you are complaining about a purpose built 3 event competition ski boat does not fit your needs for a family fun boat? I think you are looking at the wrong boat for your needs. I Believe the rest of us probably never have more than two people in the boat including the driver and a skier, wanting the boat to track properly and have a small wake. The  purpose of this boat or any three event boat
  18. I am signed up for a test ski and drive on the 26th Can't wait
  19. That happens to me every year I go take a lesson and that puts me back on track again
  20. Well, at my first tournament I found myself a little out of my league. The tournament was billed as a L and C tournament - but I ended up being the only C skier. No pressure! Some of my fellow competitors on Saturday: Freddy Winter 1.5 at 43off, Jonathan Travers, Adam Sedlmajer, Paige Rini, Sam Dumala, and 19 other skiers that ran 35 off or better. It was fun meeting and watching them. The downside is that I was last to go so my nerves were out of control. Plus several of my ski buds came to watch. We had rain all day off and on due to the Cristobal storm out in the Gulf. Finally, I am in the water. It’s 1 pm and I’ve been waiting since 8 am. I am going out at 22off - I’ve run it countless times in practice. I get a good gate, ball 1, ball 2, ball 3, ball 4 - and I think I am done till I see the gate way, way in front of me. Very disappointing to say the least. Five hours later it’s finally time for my second run. Now it’s 6 pm and we are under a tornado warning in the Orlando area. I was in and out of my ski 3 times due to rain and wind delays. Rain turned to a drizzle and I agreed to go ahead and ski. I am the last skier of the day and at this point I just want it over. Everyone on the dock reminds me there are 6 buoys (ha ha, I deserved that!). Off I go with a cross wind. I run a good 22 off, a half decent 28 off, and ended up with a score 2 at 32off - not bad considering I just ran my first 32 off three weeks ago. Drew and crew run a first-class tournament with a beautiful site. Looking forward to another tournament next weekend. This one is a class C and here’s hoping the weather is better. 62A295E8-F24C-410D-85B5-0669400BCE9D.JPG The wave of relief to my GF and ski buds
  21. I was there, I was worried he was going to get tagged up in the rope. Fun to watch going for 43off
  22. In-Tow, if you have never used her spectra rope handles your miss out. Best customer service. Just ordered two new handles this week.
  23. I ski with In-Tow Ropes and handles, bought a "Optimized 2.0" rope to ski with before my first tournament and I am glade I did. They feel a little different hard to put a finger on it just different, took a couple sets to get use too. I ski 22-32off I do not want any surprises on my opening pass. After the tournament I will go back to my In-Tow rope I now know for now on to ski the week before with the Masterline.
