If you have Rev S don't be afraid of the new plus setting, I only weigh 150lbs and have been using B3+, on Rev R I used B1. For me B3+ feels softer with Rev S then B1 felt with Rev R.

I'm a bit biased since I have the 2019 Ski Nautique promo but I now love the looks of it over the 200. If you can splurge for the 6.2 engine in the Ski Nautique or ProStar go for it, it is awesome especially for those at elevation like us in Utah. The 6.2 engine is not offered in the 2019 Nautique 200 for whatever reason...

My old account was banned, patched things up with @Horton and now have the new account. All of my old posts are gone so things may not make much sense in old threads that I posted in.

What do you disagree with @jayski?

Good question @Milford that I do not have the answer for.

I have the 2019 Ski Nautique promo with the 6.2 and my neighbor has a 2016 Ski Nautique 200 with a 6.2 that I have skied behind a lot, I have not skied behind the new Nautique 200. I love the new Ski Nautique, everything was designed around skiing from getting around the boat and in and out of the water. The Ski Nautique does have carbon fiber in the hull and as a result weights 300 lbs less than the Nautique 200. The new Ski Nautique has 1" less draft than the Nautique 200 and rides slightly higher in the water, as a result the boat does move around more than the 200 when pulling a skier but still very easy to keep straight. The micro tuners make for a nice flat wake on the new Ski Nautique at 32' and shorter for me and from what I hear (I have only skied through 35' so far behind it at 34 mph), my wife loves the wake at 28.6 mph and 15' off. I had my local dealer (Croft Marine) price out the two boats with the same options and the new Ski Nautique came in at $11k more.

@coach3 are you on a 65"? I think a 65" is just a little too big at our weight at 34 mph, might be perfect for 32mph.

@Chad_Scott what size of three blade?

Thanks @Kelvin, my local dealer told me he could not build up and purchase a 2019 Ski Nautique with a 6.0...I will check with them again.

I picked up my 2019 Ski Nautique promo in Utah three weeks ago and love it so far, I had the Malibu promo last year. I regularly drive a 2016 Ski Nautique 200 with a 6.2, have been driving some in a 2018 ProStar with the 5.7 this spring, and now my 2019 Ski Nautique with the 6.2. The 2019 Ski Nautique is easy to keep straight but does take a little more steering input compared to the 200. The 2019 Ski Nautique has 1" less draft than the 200 and you can tell it is a little less stuck to the water compared to the 200. The pull is a little bit different but several people who have skied it this year for the first time had to ask if it was really going the set speed because it feels slow and you are early. For me between 22-35' I don't notice much difference in the wakes compared to the 200 except they are a little wider. My friend who owns the 2016 200 with the 6.2 loves the pull and wakes of the new Ski Nautique. My wife who is just skiing at 28.6 mph and 15' off so far this spring says she likes the wake better than any other boat she has skied behind except the Carbon Pro at that speed. When the boat was first used at the Big Dawg in the middle of 2018 and people were complaining it was partly due to bad firmware for the GPS puck which has been fixed. The pull/feel of the new Ski Nautique is a little different than what people are use to but I don't think that is a bad thing, I just think people need time behind it. Look at the high slalom scores from Moomba which is notoriously hard to ski at then again at Swiss, scores don't seem to be down behind the new Ski Nautique. I had my local dealer price out a 2019 Ski Nautique against the 2019 Nautique 200 and it ended up being a $11k difference in price when you build them up the same throwing out the engine difference. FYI, you can't build them up the same and buy one because the Nautique 200 only comes with the 6.0 and the 2019 Ski Nautique only comes with the 5.3 or 6.2. When you compare the price of the 2019 Nautique 200 with the 2019 Ski Nautique you are comparing a boat with a 6.0 against a boat that has the 5.3 or 6.2, the 6.2 is something like a $7k upgrade from the 6.0.

I loved my 65" Syndicate ONMI I skied on for a month last year, funniest ski through 32' off at 34 mph I have ever been on. The ski is effortless to get up on, fast across course, and turns nice. At 35' and shorting I think it may have been too big for me at 150 lbs. If HO made a 64" Syndicate OMNI I would buy it.

Would love to see some pictures of others 2019 Ski Nautique's. Below is my 2019 Ski Nautique promo that I think turned out nice.

I watched @Martin ski on his GT-R from the boat just last week and he looked great for early season in Utah. From the one set I took on it last fall I was really impressed on how well it held angle, can't wait to try one again.

I really like yours @Eljaybee. I also really like the red/white/black promo in Utah.
