That is one beautiful boat! I do like the exterior looks and gelcoat pattern of the previous generation , but this boat looks awesome.  

I ordered my ProStar in 2017 without a stereo. When I do want some tunes, I just bring a little Bluetooth speaker and it does well other than it flies all over the place. Anyone using this kind of music set up ? what kind of Bluetooth speaker you using and where are you mounting it so it doesn’t go flying . 

This would be crazy in a prostar! 

Available at a garage sale near you! 

I prefer BYOB with a 15 minute rotation unless no one’s waiting then can go as long as you want. 

I’m pretty sure the pricing is directly from Sanger and pick up at the factory. So no dealer stomping on it. If MC let you do that probably get close to that price 

I think something happened causing the boat to veer into the boat guides and eventually stop. I dont think the bouys or lines that keep them anchored had anything to do with it. 

@keithh2oskier i like that!

That’s comparable to sharing a wife or girlfriend to me. No thanks! However both  scenarios definitely keep the cost’s down! Lol

No. I just went about daily life. Mistake obviously.  My friend popped it back in  , sucked but he is experienced. Saved a trip to ER. Will have to wait and see what the doc says. 

Took over a year off and first set yesterday, shoulder dislocated again. Pretty sure Surgery or never ski again are my options.  Surgery wasn’t covered by insurance last time. Not sure what the outcome will be this time around. Anyone want to buy a 2017 MC and home on a private lake. FML. 

Eventually a sheriff’s boat will get swamped if it hasn’t happened already. I would love to see what would happen to the surf boat driver! 

I was out on the Delta last weekend. There are alot of mini yachts that cruise the channels. I thought their wakes were big until i had to go past a surf boat. The wake on the surf boat was bigger than any of the yachts.  An inexperienced driver would have swamped badly. Took alot of work but I didn’t get a drop over the bow. One slip up of the throttle though and it can get bad quick. 

@BraceMaker assume nothing. One would have to be a special kind of stupid to think a four winns ob and response ob are equally safe in rough water. I had a Ski Brendella OB. That boat waa a swamp machine. 

So it wont work with the “MX “ style jugs only the legal cans.  Maybe if remove the hose and it can fit in that opening

I may be not popular for this but , I dont think ignorance should be rewarded with a settlement, but penalized. 
Awhile back I witnessed someone towing their boat off the tower behind a houseboat. I just laughed while watching this debacle. How stupid can you be.  I eventually stepped in.  They didn’t want to listen and eventually they swamped  it while it turned sideways. not my problem at this point.  Lol 

Im on the side of operator error. No matter what the activity you should not assume safety because someone else built it and sold it. If you don’t take the time to assess and accept the risks, then you shouldn’t do it. Unfortunately a child doesn’t have life experience to make their own wise decisions. Just the other day i took my son to a waterslide park. The slides were leaking like a shower, structure was made of wood. Rotted, split and rusty bolts. Im sure someone signed off on it. But my son and I both agreed its just a matter of time before this collapses. So we left. It may go years before it does, but it wont be with my family. Obviously in this case , the operator just assumed it was safe with his limited driving skills and unfortunately the kid paid the ultimate price. I have owned more OB ski boats and have swamped all them at some point other than my 2017 MC. I have no concern running it with my bow full of kids when conditions are there. But Im not a dummy and guess thats rare now days. 
 

I recently took and passed the California Boaters Card. It is completely worthless for the most part. I would have hoped it addressed things that would help lower these type of accidents.  I did learn how many blows of the horn went entering fog. 

They didn’t make a 210  DD. And the 206 was  is an Air Nautique , not SAN. Fyi. 

Sounds like a great opportunity for BOS headquarters !! Lol. You got an airport right there to fly in/  out to Hollister.

I passed on buying a used prostar for the same reason. So I went new in 2017. Then you could buy the seats but the cost was so high.  It made more sense  to buy a new 2017 than a used 2015 and order the seats. Good luck finding some. At this point I wouldn’t even worry about the color. Just get them if you find and re upholster. 

There was a club on New Melones that seemed very active years ago. Not sure about Don Pedro. 

@dave2balli beg to differ!! I had a houseboat on the Delta. It is nasty.  Dead bodies, old cars , sunken boats. List goes on. I will say bar hopping is fun. But no way I will jump in.  My houseboat had the option to dump black water in. Never did. But I am sure others do.  

I used to sell Nautiques in that era and I would never consider skiing behind a 210. Nice boat otherwise. Horton is right. People tend to compensate for their lack of skill by adding weight to make a bigger wake. My son surfs my prostar with no added ballast. 
 

That sucks. Delta gross!!! Stopped for lunch at Garlic Bros last week. Water looked nasty.  Too bad you can’t ski lexington. Its looking nice!
