  1. I had stargazer/zbox w latest software in my 2005 malibu. Felt similar to zero off. Maybe not quite as quick to respond, but I also think that’s heavily influenced by the boat/motor...
  2. I helped wire the lake at Swiss last year. HD over coax was tough. Signal loss required boosters mid-cable for the gate cameras. After realizing that, we used the analog signal for the boat path so we wouldn’t need 3 or 4 boosters. (Every where you add a booster you need power).
  3. @Ed_Johnson not sure if you’re familiar with latest pp systems. Stargazer gets you GPS control. If I remember correctly that will cost around $1500. You can leave it or that or add zbox. Zbox is just a few hundred more and gives you the letter/number pull control similar to zero off.
  4. Pp stargazer with zbox. No magnets needed.
  5. Scary as hell...... https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4O8prgqMA/?igshid=v1g89h8av2k7
  6. @skialex don’t give the footers any ideas. They’ll try anything.
  7. And the Russians have taken the crown from “Florida man”.
  8. Just noticed on facebook there is a bill in the NH house defining "wakeboat". Text from the states website is attached. This is the next step towards regulation in NH. It's sad that it's come to this. Some wake boat drivers are unaware of (or don't care) their impact on the lake and others. Too bad for those that use their craft responsibly. Also, applying the letter of the law this could also affect any ski boats with ballast, wedge, hydrogate.
  9. The story as written is pretty damning. I’d like to hear their side of the story, but I’m sure they can’t comment due to ongoing litigation.
  10. @oldjeep my father used to say “A conservative college student has no heart, but a liberal adult has no mind.”
  11. @markn i was wondering that-the title is something about “chain of lakes”. Video was dated late October 2020, so recent. Parks Bonifay is one of the skiers.
  12. @jjackkrash that makes sense-thanks! Don’t know why it would need to be that complicated. But at least I understand...
  13. @DW it covers the handhold on the top of the platform. I suspect it’s to block the spray coming up from the hydrogate that some have complained of.
  14. @skierjp its a 2019 nautique 200 with the auto hydro gate. Not sure if it was standard or an option. Don’t let the “ski nautique” emblem throw you off. Originally was just “nautique” similar to all the new 200s. When that was damaged the previous owner had them replaced with the ski nautique badges.
  15. @Andre 6.0 open bow.... thanks. Love it.
  16. Sorry @Andre . Forgot my manners. ?. Interior is all white...
  17. Looks like mine is in trick mode while trailered. Is this right?
  18. Thanks to both. @Kelvin so does it sense when the boat is put in gear? Had it running on the trailer but sounds like that won’t do it. Guess I’ll have to wait until it’s in the water.
  19. I recently purchased a used 2019 Nautique 200. I was playing with it today (on the trailer) and tried changing the hydrogate setting. No visible response at the hydrogate regardless of setting. First question, is there some trick to making it move, or... does it have an interlock that only allows it to move when the boat is in motion? And, if it is broken, will this affect the slalom wake at all, or just trick? Thank you!
  20. Correction-178 was a long time ago. Over this time period 190 was probably my lightest.
  21. I’m no expert but have a story re ski lengths. A used to have big weight swings depending on my ability to run (or not). Low of 178 high of 237. During this time i skied on 2 senates, a short one and a long one. (Like how some people have fat clothes and skinny clothes.) In the middle weights I preferred the shorter one, but at my fattest the short one was unskiable. Just not fun. At my lighter weights both were skiable, but I preferred the shorter. Based on this experience if I’m between 2 ranges I always go long. Your results may vary.
