Is there a huge difference between the senate C and the newer senates?

Will the 6.0 and 6.1 be available

You run over a 2 by 4 laying in the water and yard sale

I know you were. But it sparked up an idea that I figured I'd consider. You can give me the panda now, I'm definitely a gullible person. @Horton

The dark line represents the lake, the water has nowhere to escape to. This means that..... a) the water becomes for dense Or b) I'm a 15 year old high school chem student who doesn't know what he's talking about and everyone should disregard everything I just wrote

I would agree that the depth of the lake/pond in which you are skiing at DOES NOT affect how you ski. Skiing is a sport that really only requires 4-6 feet of water. Colder temperatures make the water more viscous therefore the water is more dense due to the condensed molecular structure on the surface of the water. (The molecules aren't moving as fast). More density means for buoyancy to an extent, if you're more buoyant you're not "plowing" through the water (less drag) you're not sinking as deep. The viscosity of the water doesn't actually change until a decent depth. Long story short, your ski will ride higher on "thicker" water than it will thinner water. A factor could also be the ski itself. Carbon and or fiberglass may react differently to different temperatures. The width of the ski. @Horton makes a good point about air density. To my understanding the air pressure theoretically should make the water denser If it has nowhere to escape to if that makes sense. Unfortunately I believe the idea is a bust because water is an impressible liquid. Put water in a pan and fill it to the brim, press down on the water with your hand. Spoiler alert, it overflows. However I'm gonna disprove my own theory (great idea right)

Us Buffalonians have some colder temps going on in New York. Air- 34 Water-49

It's all good I'm laughing hysterically at myself to think it was even possible. I play hockey and snap sticks all the time so the first thing that crossed my mind was, if sticks break why can't a ski and clearly didn't think it through. Got a good laugh out of it though. @TallSkinnyGuy

I feel extremely dumb

@TallSkinnyGuy as in snaps while I'm skiing?

I was wondering the exact same question

That's crazy how he had 1200 pounds of water logged wood and foam that he shed off the overall weight of the boat. Really makes me think if my boat is waterlogged although it doesn't seem like it is?

Sounds like something definitely worth considering

Good method, play hockey got left over sticks why not!

Would the repair shop be able to do something for me or just diagnose my boat

Might just have to pull the boat out early next year and get a start on fixing up the boat, most likely needs a decent amount of work, floor is a project in itself

Most likely going to weigh the boat and compare to what it's actually supposed to be. If there's a drastic difference maybe it's water logged and it'll be a winter or spring project to rip out the floor and dig through the boat (hoping to put a new floor in regardless)

Will definitely have to check.

So the probability of the foam under the floor being wet is very likely. I have a hard time comprehending what you're saying about where the water is getting in from. So I guess my best bet is to rip out the floor and see if the foam is wet. What are the advantages of putting in a composite floor like @Wish said

Makes sense, person we got the boat from said his kids wake boarded.......can't believe I didn't catch on to that

You guys are awesome and always a lot of help!

It's impossible to have it flat with the hull and touching the edge of the plate, the second photo gives you a broad idea of how far down it is. The first photo, the hockey stick isn't flush with the hull

I'll post a picture in a few minutes. One thing I don't understand is that, how would the foam be wet and the floor not soft. Don't they coincide? There should be a correlation between the two, if the floors soft the foam is wet, If the foam is wet the floor is soft

Disappointed but something to look forward to next year
