  1. @mbabiash. What does that mean, set it up correctly? Grind rudder, weights, have the expensive training ballast system? It’s odd to me that MC can’t make this boat track. Is it design? Providing awesome wakes in lieu of tracking straight? My situation is not unusual to the skiing community, you take the driver that’s available. Sometimes you just reconcile this set “I’ll be 3 buoys short today” because of this particular driver. We all don’t have Chad Scott driving for us, Mr bush, Lyman, Rico whoever. If I’m dropping $70-80k on a tournament ski boat my expectation is that is does ALL skiing stuff really really excellent.
  2. @Horton , “not sure how you could make it better”? Ummm, how about building it to track straight. I would have serious interest in the new PS. My tourney PB is behind 16 PS. I skied the 2020 at the boarding school. That boat had 6 liter. Awesome boat. BUT, the issue is tracking. Unfortunately I have several different drivers, my primary driver being my wife. I’m pretty positive she would have difficulty keeping the PS straight especially when I shorten to 38. I asked the dealer at this years area boat show about the tracking. His response? We know exactly how to grind the rudder to load it properly. Is that a solution? I usually change boats every 2-3 years. Due to the stupid prices of the SN, I have really investigated the PS. Fix the tracking and I’m all over the MC PS.
  3. The ski path from the bottom of the picture to well beyond the buoy is nearly parallel with the boat path and arc or her change of direction is not occurring until well past buoy. The other thing is she is well aligned in her body and over her ski, waiting patiently to load.
  4. Chet Raley for motivating. He is excellent with his positive approach to skiing
  5. I probably shouldn’t have participated. My course is in my backyard. I’ll take 2 sets Saturday and again Sunday. During the week, one set 4 days or evenings depending on weather or wind.
  6. @Spineofgoo : Out of respect for @horton I am not taking the bait. Thanks for your opinion. I do appreciate it.
  7. @6balls. Eagle lift. Works great. Sorry @horton. Looks like you created your own dumpster fire.
  8. Not sure 58 qualifies for old white guy but who doesn’t want 755 HP.
  9. @Skiwoodgate, psychological dx for water skiers: that’s pretty easy, addictive behavior, bit of personality dysorder with mild moderate or severe narcissism.
  10. -32 for sure. its the first line length I can feel the whip/pendulum effect. when I am in rhythm with the boat its like a ride at an amusement park. -35 can feel like that too, just a little too much concentration at the blue to "enjoy" that line.
  11. 50? Time for HRT. Along with everything else you are doing, eating right/ healthy, drinking water, exercise , sleep, drinking water, stretching......oh drink water. The fat content is pretty high? I’d be careful with that. Mesomorphs probably wouldn’t do well with this product unless they are burning intense amount of calories with job or exercise.
  12. http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=51730 I realize it’s over your budget but why not up your budget and get an excellent example, low hrs. Gel and interior is immaculate. I can bring it “toward” you.

    CG fin

    Excellent Adam. Thank you. Ordered.

    CG fin

    @TEL, is your CG LFF? If so would you sell it? I'm trying everything I know to get a LFF CG. Rare as hen's teeth. Let me know please.
  15. swap liners with me. I ordered size 4 from them. I need 3. Heat molded one time. Too big for my shell which is 8. the liner is less than 2-3 weeks old.
  16. mine was so successful I would do it again if I had too. Of course I have continued to recondition the forearm wrist and elbow muscles. I also wear three different pairs of gloves throughout the season and have two different handles, different diameters. I think the new ML rope has helped as well this year. I've posted it twist a lot more than other ropes I've had but it definitely is easier on the body. @LakeboyWWK good luck.
  17. I am 58. Last year at this time, had complete tear of common extensor tendon and partial of tricep near olecranon. Did PRP, hurt like a mother I might add, was not allowed to do any activity with right UE for three weeks. Did 4 weeks of strength training with PT following that, I knew immediately it was gonna work. elbow is great, fantastic. I am right hand dominant. Very manual job which requires pushing pulling and lifting. skiing and lifting like i want. no issues. good luck.

    CG fin

    Hey ballers. Just got C 75. However the CG fin is RFF. Looking for LFF. Thought perhaps someone got one and is looking to sell it. Thanks.
  19. My personal experience skiing behind it and driving it: It yaws to the right drastically through the course. I’m at least a full pass down skiing behind it because the boat “centers” left. Through the course the nose points to 12:30, the left rear corner is at 7. Crazy. We’ve tried moving rudder tab, weights. Etc. presently at the dealer getting stuff fixed. I’ve had 7 200’s. I was initially going to order this boat. Thank god I didn’t.
  20. Late to the discussion. This is my RTP. Darren at Wiley’s made it. LOVE it. Works great
  21. @WaterSkier12 not sure why I hit off topic button or even how I did it. Purely accidental. I thinks it’s right where my thumb hits page while I scroll up and down. Sorry. Don’t know how to undo. Congrats on your nationals score.
