Again I ask where is Manon ?

Amazing skiing from Will! Wow. Anyone know where Manon has been this year? Haven’t seen her at anything. At least in the USA

@6balls. Thanks but looking for feedback w the 6 liter. I was surprised to hear a boat w almost 400 horse and all that Torque would struggle to hit 38 w barefooter in tow. 20 year old versions w 5.7 liter motors could pull multiple bf skiers in excess of 40 easily. I get it’s designed for 36 mph but still …

Curious what the top speed and wakes are like for barefooting w the 6 liter? Saw a YouTube video saying top speed with barefooter in tow was like 38 with 4 blade? Maybe the wrong crowd to ask. I understand it’s 3 event boat

I know it was 35.5 but Nate running 41 in the dark and Cale waving to the crowd rounding 6 at 39 was pretty amazing. As was Freddie winning the night jump on jump number 1

@utahslalom Nautique discontinued the GS line for 2023.

@nater I see JT tied for second. Happy for him. Really high scores for him 3, 2.5 and 4 at 41.

Enjoyed the webcast and it sounds like the pros were treated like pros! First class. Weird I haven’t seen anything on BOS about French Malibu event that many pros attended instead of this? Any one know much? I saw some scores.

OKskier. Shoot now I gotta learn how to use calipers and buy a set? Horton should do a segment on that whole topic. I think there are lots of us who don’t have an understanding of the process

Agree with OKskier. Never had issues w wheelies on any Senates including 22 pro. I’ve heard of some moving their bindings forward. I haven’t messed w fin or binding placement. Works great stock at my level (28 off/34 mph ). Plus I really don’t know how to adjust the fin, or own calipers. Maybe if I ever got good ? I’d start tweaking. Right now it seems perfect stock

Coming off 21 to 22. Subtle differences. Just getting back to where I finished last year, but maybe even more forgiving and maybe a little faster cross course. The harder I push it the more it says “Trust me” Have yet to blow out the tail. Then again the 2021 was awfully good too.

@Mastercrafter Yes. Those are real numbers. Most dealers can’t even order one. Classic supply and demand. If all build slots are full why waste one on a 100k ski boat is not just MC boat co philosophy. And who can blame them I guess.

Inflation is real. I was thinking about a Prostar w the 21 redesign. In 2020 the MSRP was listed at 75k and one could buy one in my area for mid 80s nicely equipped. In 2021 I could have bought a promo w 200 hours for 76k. Or order a new 22 (when we thought you’d actually have a chance to get it in 22) for 92k To order a 2023 they’re talking 120k! Pretty hard to justify in my view. With the economic downturn and interest rate increases (not to mention 5 dollar gas) the demand for all boats will drop significantly. I think the mfg know this and are shoring up their balance sheets for a downturn like 2008. Thoughts? 85k in 2020, 92k in 2021 and 120k in 2023 for essentially the same boat is unsustainable I say.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to watching

Haven’t seen a link for the TWBC webcast? It’s tomorrow right?

Terrible spring weather here so far but of the 3 times on mine I love it. Coming off a 2021. Still shaking rust off but it’s at least as good as the 21. Hard to notice a lot of difference yet but I’ll report back after some more sets. My son reports that “it looks cooler” on the water w the bright green lettering on the bottom for what that’s worth ?

I have the article from waterski mag. Definitely Carl

Seems like too good of a deal. Is the interior dirty or wrecked? Hard to tell from pics.

Any one coming from 21 have sets on the 22? And if so comments?

@swb911 when will you get delivery? Definitely post some pic pics when you get her

I would get the alloy. All basically the same feel. Just faster cross course as u move up the construction changes.

Yeah, was Dorien’s record not certified?

Wow. 55-59 is me and most of the people. Explains maybe why waterskiing struggles to grow

You guys didn’t mention that James’s 2 at 41 is a pending under 20 world record, a Canadian record and a PB

Hey, where is the link to win my new ski ?
