@swc5150  for some reason (boat geek) every day I look for MasterCrafts and Ski Nautiques for sale even though I have a boat I am happy with.  I saw this one the same day as you and since it was so close to my house instantly asked 3 things.

What engine does the boat have?

Where is the boat located (city)?

What is your number?

I got this response yesterday. 
 

That ProStar - feels like a scam

@Mastercrafter  Can you be more specific on performance?  I have a 2016 6.2L.  I test drove the 5.7 and realized it wasn't enough especially since I like to barefoot.  Top speed on our 6.2 is around 50mph.  The other thing I liked about the 6.2 was that it was lighter than the stock option. More power and less weight I will pay for that.  Overall it is a animal and so fun to drive but it is also just an awesome course boat which it is used for 99% of the time.

Fuel economy.  I guess I never noticed much difference from other boats I have owned and I don't really care about it as we only use the boat about 40hrs a season because we share boats on our lake.  I know when we were debating between the Nautique 200 and the ProStar I believe they stated the MasterCraft was better (engine for engine).

Agreed @LOTW  

slow and steady melt please 🙂. Floods suck 

Based on the snow banks at our place this year, I think we will be skiing before all the snow is melted.

I will check back with you guys in 2 or more months!

@swbca your pictures makes me happy today

Agree with MDB1056.  Use what you budget and buy a DD for that.  For the sand bar/beach just moor it out a little.

@KRoundy

You can for sure do that.  What I do for open water is track the speed, line length, and sets but put 0.5 for balls turned.

@wawaskr

I came from the slashers vests to stokes.  Oneil makes good product but the stokes holds it shape better.  I found with the slasher they got sloppy/loose fitting after a season or two.  Stokes is holding strong and still fits tight like new.

@Mastercrafter - nice home gym!

100% practice on our public water with a instaslalom course that needs to be removed every day but so worth it.

Great ideas around working out.  Thinking about improving my skiing keeps me in the box 5x a week.  In the winter I move home my SkiErg, RowErg, and Assault bike from my garage crossfit gym at the cabin to my basement.  I like to use this equipment on weekends or nights - really good equipment for low impact endurance.

Yes I am whining 🙂 I do get out and participate in skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, snow shoeing, hunting, ...the list goes on but nothing makes me feel better than warm days at the lake waterskiing.

When you figure out how to deal with the sunless, cold, and the long months of snow let me know.  The struggle is very real.

Cool.  Glad I am not the only one that saved many years of WaterSki and still go back and read them from time to time.

@Thomasasher

I got the Velocity X a couple of years ago and it has been the best I have ever used.

The past couple of season I wanted second vest, EVO2 Impact Vest, but the bigger sizes are still not available.  Any idea when that will be?

What an amazing picture.  Thanks for the help and I will pass this along to one of my co-workers

@DaveD  No - it arrived while I was finishing up my expat role in India.  They craned it off the truck and stored it for me until I got back to the USA.  Then they delivered it to my dock!

Congrats on the new boat!  You are correct, it is a great day.

This is how mine arrived. I was still overseas at the time and had to wait 3 months to get it.

Nice boat @Jaypro. I wish my wife like the polarizing colors because I love them.  I know someone looking but can you please the engineer package? 5.7?

Congrats on the boat. Welcome to the nuthouse :smiley:

I think the best thing to do would be contact Radar (Brooks Wilson) and ask these questions. I did not have any issues mounting my plate. I did not have the stock setting and chose the front boot location based on how the ski was riding for me.

@FOB69

I have run reflex system on multiple generations of the senate. I am on a 19 Pro now. Any questions let me know

Nice job
