    Well, probably not going to ski there full-time at that rate, but if I had a place that I could drop in anytime for $39/set without worrying about ski partners, gas, towing, etc., I'd be pumped!

    wow! THAT is how you keep the wake boats away!
  3. Moffattra
    nice job! when will you be listing it for sale??

    @Edmund don't forget the tower...

    @dave2ball all boats require some blocking/reinforcement, proper fasteners and some thought to have towers installed. The more sophisticated the materials and construction are will dictate how specialized the installation has to be, but it absolutely can be done. Now, whether or not you want the factory, a technician, or me to drill holes in the side of your brand new $100k+ boat is another issue all together... :#

    cool, i'll keep it in mind

    @Broussard OK, that's true, my thoughts also include the assumption that they will make an OB eventually. Funny how much I like towers on OB slalom boats, but absolutely can't stand how they look on CBs. Especially when they look like this...

    @FSSPCat I am planning an analog conversion this winter if you want to wait that long?

    @Jaypro oh yeah, that's why I love the reservoir; lots of great skiing and always beautiful!

    Hold on, it's just a tower. I get you guys don't like how they look, but he's just saying he wants the option, not that every new Nautique should come with one. Plus, towers are good for: -teaching people to get up -keeping kids involved, doing something behind boat -storing gear -climbing on, jumping off -having slightly higher bimini without it looking stupid All things that help grow the sport which increases the demand and hopefully reduces price of 3 event boats.

    Nice! And that is a world class fist pump at the end!

    This is what you get when you can’t make it to the public lake until after nap time... Not complaining though, everyone skied a little and my wife even got some clean passes in the course. Plus I got this sweet shot of @Jaypro cranking along next to his boat’s ancestor!

    wrong link, but it's gonna be tough to compete with this ad anyway... i love big blocks!

    @ALPJr I have only skied in saltwater once, but the extra buoyancy made the speed feel much faster, and super fun!

    Sticking with just slalom for now, how do you decide who is "the best"? Which one of the following means the most to you?
  16. Moffattra
    PB&J personal best & joy! so lame, sorry. congrats though, not much that compares to improvement and success in the course!

    have people tried protection? Slalom alpine ski racers sometimes put strips of dense foam or heavy beads of silicone down each side of the tip of their skis to protect them from gate thwacks. Of course that only happens if you are super late, so I always thought it better to fix your skiing than protect the ski...

    @Ed_Johnson that's awesome! but $450?! you sure someone wasn't growing something illicit in there?...
  19. Moffattra
    well, can't say it's for me, but pretty cool, and I bet it works a whole lot better than most of us on here are willing to admit.

    especially when towed to the water with a couple good horses...

    I've always hated outboards, but watching the chaos in the automobile industry and now reading about real electric boats makes me realize it's time for some serious outside the box thinking. So, @DynaSkiPete couple questions: rope height? i see lots of pics and video of skiing behind your boats, but no one pulling hard. seems like that rope is going to hit the motor? tracking? does the boat have/need tracking fins? especially with the pylon so far back?
  22. Moffattra
    @BraceMaker I'll admit, it was a combination of factors

    I got to watch them ski at their home site once. They would dock start, trick, then ski back to the dock, where one of the metal pole dock legs was extended a few feet higher so they could grab on and swing elegantly up on to the dock with out ever getting wet. The 10 year old me, watching this from the boat, fell instantly in love...
  24. Moffattra
    but @Horton, they would both be so fun just that one time!
  25. Moffattra
    idk, seems like a cool spot, but you guys think there will be adequate scrutiny?...
