shoulders/hips open to boat and i'll bet eyes are down course. 3 things I need to work on this summer.

Hopefully get a few days off work. Food manufacturing is off the charts right now.

Background of the photos is suspicious. Maybe if it was in somebody's garage or out building....maybe But all white curtain backdrops? And an add that's ripe with "must sell now". That boat at that price needs no excessive verbiage to sell. Smells like fish.

@swc5150 at the rate that the wakeboats are growing in mass, that scenario might not be too far off! :D

Just came across this article.

that thing is awesome! Wonder how many were ever produced?

Love that groundhog

@horton full disclosure I've never eaten a plant based meat....my food eats plants for food

 

but i do work in the food industry so unfortunately I have a very good understanding how a lot of processed foods are made. textured vegetable protein is pretty crazy stuff. Looks like Coco-Pebbles until you add water

as i read this thread I'm eating an impossible whopper while wearing a **** hat....or is it a *** hat now?

While in the Netherlands I learned that they use Mayonnaise for their french fries instead of ketchup...... the madness

Wakeboard bindings typically mount at 2 points on base plate on the right and left side of the riders foot. I assume this is because of the riders stance the forces applied in those directions during different flips/spins etc. A trick ski stance, weight distribution, and body position is fundamentally different hence the baseplate mount is different. I guess if you could swap the wakeboard boot part onto a trick base plate it may work.

Wife had a photographer over this past summer for a family photo. She said I was allowed to pick one non typical pose. Everything I love about life all in one shot!

Tried a 9x11 baking sheet once. Only once because after you fall it sinks.

Wonder what the wake is like behind a Saladstar?

What do you know about Ray Finkle?

 

soccer style kicker graduated from collierd high june 1976, stetson university honors graduate class of 1980, hold two NCAA division one records, one for the most points in a season the other for distance former nicknamed the mule, the first and only pro-athlete to ever come out of collierd county, and one heeeellllll of a model american....

 

sorry, couldn't resist

Painted numbers? I would try a solvent like Acetone first. Won't harm the gel coat (other than removing all the wax) and may dissolve the paint.

what are the 2 pieces of PVC for in each anchor?

If you can't carve the water, might as well carve a pumpkin.

 

Presta ultra cutting creme works well. I replaced decals on a Malibu one time. Took the shadow away pretty easily. Not as aggressive as some of the 3M products but still produces good results quickly.

I'm a little confused. The whole course sits in 3-4' of water and the rebar has been driven the into bottom like a stake to hold each of the buoys?? Or is it just the turn balls? How far is the rebar sticking up out of the bottom, 6", 12"?? the skier is potentially less than 3' away from impalement?

 

Trying to think of ideas but I first have to fully understand the current situation

+1 for multi-meter amp draw check.

-28 is my favorite for now. I free ski it a lot and can usually run it 9-10 times in the course.

 

-32 only ran a handful of times. very scrappy. love it when i kill one of my onside turns and rocket to the next ball though

 

-35 PB is 2. never even saw it this year.

 

-22 meh....don't hate it, but don't love it either

 

-15 early season free ski warm up getting back into ski shape. usually the first pass in the course as well. hate it. no feel from the boat and feels like the rope is a mile long. almost makes me lazy on the turns

 

-39 free skied it once. felt like I could almost high five my kids in the boat. slack hits on the turns almost elongated my arms. cross course speed was incredible. have a hole new respect for skiers that run short lines

I like this thread. I am always looking for ways to improve my driving to help out the guys on the other end of the line. How does the driver know when to ease the wheel away from the skier? If the skier is very consistent I can get in a good rhythm with them, but if they are late or inconsistent on turns or pull too long I find it harder to compensate early and find myself being reactive instead of proactive.

When my gear starts to get the funky smell, I usually hang it in the shower and rinse it really well, light scrub with mild soap, and then another good rinse.

@buechsr maybe I missed it but does you 07' TSC3 have the hydro-gate feature? I bought by 07 TSC3 used from a dealer and had them install the hydro-gate. Makes a huge difference at 36mph and slower in slalom position and cleans up the trick table when in trick position.

 

nautiqueparts.com has the complete kit for under $900.
