I'm skiing behind a Gekko ski boat. Course is not likely in my future - just New Hampshire free skiing. Thanks for the suggestions. I've been looking at that HO TX, sounds very interesting. Unfortunately I don't know any place around here where I can try a ski before buying so any insights and advice I can get is much appreciated!

I am 43 years old, 6'2, 230 lbs. I've been slalom skiing since I was a kid (never on a course but we've always skied as aggressively as we can - meaning, get low and throw up a big wall of spray). Usually ski around 32-34 mph. I've been skiing on the same 67 inch KD 7000 for close to 15 years, trouble is I hardly ever ski anymore simply because it is too hard getting out of the water, by the time I'm up (if I get up at all) I'm too fried to do much. I haven't shopped for a water ski in a long time and have no idea what's out there. What I'm looking for (if it exists) is something that will be as easy as possible to get up on (in a double boot) but still perform well in the turns. Any suggestions? Thanks.
