I use the Wiley high wraps with my '19 Radar Senate Lithium. Great boots with great support, Though I would go single density rather than double density next time around.
-
Drink some Bucked Up pre-workout - then getting my feet into the Wiley's high wrap bindings without sufficient lube is a workout on its own merits.

I ski a ‘19 Senate and have narrow size 12 feet. I find Wiley’s high wraps fit my feet well. I had them make the front boot open toe to get the right fit.
-
I bought a barely used '19 Senate Lithium at the end of last season. Can't wait to try it out!!
-
So sad to hear. Wiley's is my go to shop for Waterski outfitting.
-
well...some people are quasi religious about waterskiing, does that count?

September sunrise - just before it started getting cold

Lake Tapps is my home ski lake. About 45 minutes south of Seattle. You can usually find good water on weekdays until around noon, and weekends until about 10 a.m.

I love the HO 95 bindings on my old Extreme. I just upgraded to a ‘19 Senate Lithium this month and was looking forward to slapping those bindings on my new ski. No such luck. I caved and bought a set of Wiley’s high wraps, which do fit the newer skis. Not looking forward to breaking them in though.

I'm an intermediate skier working to become more advanced. So far, open water only. I haven't ski'd a course yet, but have been skiing on a '90's HO Extreme. Now that I can expect to get 3 - 4 days skiing in per week during the summer, I figured I should upgrade a bit and hopefully improve my form and skills. Just bought a '19 Senate Lithium - we'll see how I do next year.

Figured it out

Its the Reflex universal plate, I have no idea why the guy put it on there, as the ski is pre-drilled for just about anything. My old '90's era high wrap boots are on narrow plates that don't fit, but I ordered a pair of Wiley's high wraps that will fit. Kyle at Wiley's cringed at the thought of stacking plates. Attempting to remove the plate with that heavy duty 3M stick-um, would certainly damage the ski though, so it looks like I am stuck stacking plates. Not sure how to attach a photo to this post.

Thanks for all the comments, I picked up a good deal on a ‘19 Senate Lithium. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the universal plate stuck on it so I can install my high wraps.?
-
Name your price, I’m listening.
-
Any difference between the Senate lithium and the pro set performance wise?
-
Thanks, I'll see if I can find a good deal on a slightly used Senate. I have always used full double wrap boots on my HO Extreme and my Kidder Red line before that. I don't know anything about these new ski boots I am seeing. Is it OK to go with the old style wrap boots on these newer skis?
-
I ski early morning before heading to work (6:45 a.m. on Lake Tapps in WA) and though it is open water, I can pretty much get glass most of the time, or a little bit of wind ripple. I refuse to ski in the slop created by other boats in the afternoons. That being said, is the Senate still my go to ski?

Skiing and boating on Lake Powell is on my bucket list.

I'm 5'11, 200 lbs and am an open water skiier. Until this past year, I wasn't able to ski consistently enough to really work on my form and skills. Now that I live on a lake and ski 2 - 3 x per week (at least during the summer), I am looking for a ski to do advance my form and skills on this coming summer. I would put my skills at intermediate - advanced (never skiied a course, probably never will). I have been skiing on a 68" HO Extreme Competition at 34 mph to this point. Looking at purchasing a used 68" 2017 Radar Vapor Pro Set. Is this a good ski for that purpose?
Did you get a new ski this year?
