20 sets is your break even point for those debating between the two plans. Please keep us posted about how busy you get down there. Great to see this option.

INJURY how do you plan to avoid it in 2024
MitchellM replied to 101driver's topic in News & Other Stuff
I'm seriously considering the Flow Point Method off season training program. Looks like a combination of strength training, mobility and stretching geared towards skiers. I'm a rower. Typically 150km/month on the machine. It's very important to train opposing muscle groups when we do one activity on a regular basis. -
This is great! Can you give us your exact location/address? Can you spin on one side or do you need to drop on both ends? Have you considered a family plan rate for membership? I think your $40/set rate for non-members is too low.

Finally have my own boat. I plan on becoming a better boat driver and learning about boat maintenance. I also need to figure out how this old Perfect Pass works.
-
@o2bnMaine I hope the state DEP lets me put this course in. JT has my blocks ready to go. The state has been asking for some absurd information that I cannot provide. Things like benthic surveys, type of fill used, water quality mitigation,... It's maddening.

Greeted by this view from the dock. Lake water was 65 degrees.
-
Fixed and working great now. Thanks!
-
Santa bought me a lake house. Here was the view on Christmas morning.

@LarryG I used to be able to sort by date which is very useful. Now when I click on "post date" I get an error message "page not available". This is a necessary feature when combing through listings.
-
Bill, thanks for sending me your completed application. It was very helpful. I'm encouraged that your process only took 3 months. After seeing what you submitted, I submitted my own photoshopped aerial view for my course.

That boat is at a dealer which usually means a bit of a premium. Plus it looks like it's been on the market for a while with no takers. Obviously not priced competively. It is a clean, low hours boat, but it is 23 years old and likely worth around $20k.
-
This is a great example of someone who values all of the extras and unique features of their own boat, but will have to realize that they don't actually translate to dollars when selling. Sure, he gets some dollars for low hours and nice interior, but this is still a 2000 LXi. I just purchased a 2005 LXi in good condition with 500 hours for $25k

Well, the state DEP just responded to my application. Apparently this process will take anywhere between 3-12 months. I am already starting to regret going through proper channels.
-
That's the concern about going through proper channels. I'm not really sure how long this process will take. I gather most courses are put in without permits.
-
Yes, I actually heard back from someone at the Florida DEP last week. She actually seemed excited because the request for a slalom course permit was very unusual and required some investigation. I am in the process of completing the application. Jon Travers was out on site yesterday and we have agreed on the location. Hopefully the permitting process will go smoothly.
-
@ScottScott yes, this thread did take an ugly turn.
-
Here I've just been worried about getting around one ball.
-
I'll keep that in mind!
-
Interesting discussion. Have you checked the depth of the lake where you plan on putting in the course? I mentioned 10 feet as the average depth of my lake, but what does that actually mean? We are going to survey the actual depth where we are planning to put the course in later this week.
-
For all the money we spend on this sport, I'm amazed when people will go cheap on something like a rope.
-
Let me know when you're in town. I'd be happy to give you a pull. Looks like Jon Travers will be putting a course in for me shortly!
-
Interesting! I did not know Mr. Weeks was a skier. I may need to invite him out for a spin.
-
Thanks for the insight. Someone here gave me the contact information for Lee Trump who is Chester's son. Seems to me that the northeastern shore of the lake would be well suited for a course. Just along the area owned by Fantasy in Flight. I am told there was a course in that location years ago along with a second course in the cove where my house is located. I'll be meeting with Jon Travers to hear his advice and recommendations. I have contacted the state to get the permit process started as advised by Polk County officials.
