Back in that time period I loved to get a Brendella in a tournament on the skier end never drove one but many drivers said it required a lot of finesse to keep it centered!

Chuck Forest for 34mph seems he dominated Nationals for quite awhile. Carl Roberge, Drew Ross.

Go the new route and keep turning them quickly get a buyer let it eliminate all but minor maintenance, always have fresh boats, develop a reputation for caring for the boats to perfection and in the long run should be a win win situation.

Seems it may be better to keep a pipeline of new boats coming and sell them when they get about 250 to 300 hours perhaps more trouble but maybe an easier sell with a current year boat with transferable warranty hopefully,

I had one of the first Goode prototypes to the 9100 that had Bob Lapoint's name on the rear tail. The ski got tried by a lot of skiers and ended up with a lot of holes in it. I was out of skiing for 5 years (got a divorce and started back skiing!) and jumped on that ski (my former ski partner had it under his bed with about 7 other skis). I liked the way it felt so I tried it. It was really flexible but I do not think it was that flexible. Anyhow I immediately loved that ski EP'ed on it twice and made it to the Nationals in Destin in 1996. I bought one of the first 9100's because I thought that one could break to easy. I liked it too but that soft prototype did feel a bit better in the turn. I ran an EP at Nationals on that 9100. I was pumped. Dave Goode gave me a hat and a Goode bag. Still have the bag!

@ToddA sadly have not been able to find it must have lost in in the move. Only used it twice!

@ToddA I may have an Acme I’m not using if I can find it and you want it I will sell it for a good deal

@Kimbymon fat finger on the dislike sorry

Just to be fair slalom skiers have had to add weight in various spots of some boats.

@BraceMaker the wake on that 84 seemed soft and easier to stay connected.

MasterCraft power slot was a great advancement in its day credit R&D!

Wonder if it would handle a 20hp!

I had a 94 add on TBI that I think Holley produced that had vapor lock issues.

@Orlando76 does that imply you could not manage to ride one?

My 2008 Malibu had those seems that issue has already been accounted for?

You just catch your breath after the boat crew asks if you are ok.

PS call Bennett’s they will hook you up with a great deal.

Get a newsed one man !

@MS first inboard we got was a 77 Ski Tique great looking boat!

In Tow is the only way to go!!

Sounds like motor is burned toast.

It can.

Impressive since 1995! Hats off Dave great job!

Not being able to adjust my shorts was a real issue no kidding. Tried wetsuit type shorts that did not work. Finally got O’Neil freak shorts that issue solved. Took quite a bit more time to not freak out at the gate. Once you get over that it’s all butter water is awesome! Oh no time to wipe your face either. I started using contacts and closed my eyes on take off that helped!

Once you get that quick sling shot gate approach down it’s all gravy after that !
