This is a good thread. I like the Wiley set up, high wraps f and r. But have had a couple back foot blow outs resulting in front ankle sprains. Thinking buying a size smaller rear….or going D3 T-factors.

Nice boat @OldGuysRule !! Good pic showing the lowered platform at water level.

At least you didn’t face plant!

 

My first observation is the ski, but then in the pics above, I look at head position and line of sight. I’m the last person to give advice…but years ago I trained with a ball cap on, sun bill pulled way down to train me to watch the horizon. Took my attention off the wakes and the boat and really helped with body position through both wakes. I still revert back to that old cap at times.

Bump, any better luck with the iPhone 12 Pro Max using the 4K 60fps IBIS.?

Yup, decadence gets hot. We like naked floors. Only use the decadence for road trips when we don’t want stuff to slide around on the floor

That brochure boat is nice. Here it is from inside.

 

 

LFF high ankle sprain…dang painful!! Caipirinhas help.

 

Haven’t skied too much outside Middle Tennessee, but I like home.

@ProStah_Skiah asked before I could.

@BMG73 i noticed the same thing....didn’t see any latches. Maybe you reach under the edge of the lids . I see a shadow where there might be a recess.

 

Bow seating was optional on my ‘14 as was the bow lid. Has the bow seating gone standard?

Wow, Phenom! Can’t wait to hear more reviews on tracking / drivability.

Someone once asked JR, “Is 43@43 even possible?” JR’s response, “I’ll let you live so you can see me do 75@75!!!”

Thanks guys. Ever since my 25th limited, I’ve loved silver flake.

@skimtb I mounted some Gladiator tool tracking (from Lowe’s) to set the deck lid in and using bungees to keep from tipping out from the wall. Works fantastic.

 

Three of us now working from home and two of us are drinking a lot more starting at mid-day. I never thought an afternoon brew was at all practical while at the office. But I like it. They say it takes 21 days to both form and/or break a habit. The future looks a bit scary when we get to go back to the office since we are now in week four.

My company is starting to burn through a mountain of cash to preserve employment for everyone. However, everyone’s merit increases have been killed and all 2020 bonuses paid in 2021 are killed. So income is def affected. If this thing has a longer tail, layoffs will be next. The good news is that we learned from the 2008 mess and set up a financial model to weather another one. Here we are....so let’s see how things go.

Bumping this thread. Went with the Watson. Fantastic vest, can’t wait to try it. Thank you @perfski !!! Great service!!!

Siliconed my carpeted bunks one fall on the last load of the year just before winterizing. My thinking was it would be easier to move the boat around on the trailer in the garage when I waxed the bottom...which it was. Come spring and first launch, I forgot about it and as usual, I unhooked the winch strap before backing down the ramp. BIG mistake. Kiddos sitting in the back seat didn’t help...got down the ramp half way and noticed in my rear view mirror the boat started to slide off the trailer with quite a bit of concrete left to go. I knew I couldn’t brake, but rather I needed to accelerate to counter the gravity pulling the boat off. By the time I got to waters edge, I was traveling about 10-15 mph backwards. I remember seeing how big the kids eyes were In the mirror as I was backing down the ramp at NASCAR speed. The boat made a huge splash and created a massive stern wave around the dock. Swamped the kids as the boat rocketed off the trailer backwards. Learned a few lessons that day LOL.

 

 

Just got my order in today. Awesome customer service! Ty Bill.

Put some quick

plug n play sound in the ProStar last week.

Standard set up in India. I should have been practicing!
