  1. I am really liking my c95 after about 20 sets. Coming from a c75 it seems to ride deeper but is just as fast and the turns are even better. It feels like it rides deep and carries speed through the turn. Even if you are not centered on the ski it still just turns and goes. Started with the factory settings and liked it ok but then went to the alternate settings and they were much better. Then went forward with my bindings and the ski was faster and still turned just as good. Currently at 2.48, 6.9, .9, 7 degrees, 29.25 with Wiley’s double high wraps skiing at 34 mph 28 into 38 off. Also got a 24 Vapor and like it and want to try some more settings but I don’t think I can get it better than the Denali.
  2. Wife and I are at worlds and got to see Joel’s run in person! It was amazing to watch him and the crowd went wild when he ran it.
  3. Hopefully skiing to mid November when we go on vacation
  4. @Wish there is some shade so if you get there early it should not be a problem
  5. Wife and I will be there all week!
  6. My wife and I will be there. Both skiing on Thursday and then hanging out and watching the rest of it.
  7. We knew a guy that had the same course with river current adapter. It worked but was a pain because you had to install it after setting up the course and it was a big spool of rope. Also the rope was not weighted so it would float to the surface between buoys. Not a good situation. A better and easier solution is to make your own. You just have to add a tie wrap to the mainline upstream from each gate and a put a tie wrap on the pvc buoy arms out towards the ball. Then using strong twine and clips make an adapter that you clip on the mainline as you are putting the course out and clip the other end to the pvc as you put it out. You have to work out the dimensions before hand so you know the lines will hold the buoy arms perpendicular to the mainline. All six of the lines will fit on a small spool clipped end to end. Much easier and faster.
  8. We use this…. https://coolcabanas.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkeqkBhAnEiwA5U-uMwnk3ubcjhXYIHB3fvO9QIk1_3qgZynH2NeWAmN-zwXosjnJ1cH4PRoCBAwQAvD_BwE It is lightweight if you have to carry it a long ways, compact, sets up easily with one person and is really stable in windy condition. You need to get the grass kit to go with it to use in non sandy areas. It is also available on Amazon but only one color. 4.8 stars on Amazon tells you most people really like it. We have used it at many tournaments and it works great.
  9. Matt Rini’s would be a great place. It is a really laid back vibe and they cater to all levels. My wife and I will be going again in July for the 3rd straight year.
  10. Yes she definitely is. I have a handle and ropes on order. She was out sick for a couple of weeks so is a bit behind on getting orders out but is working to catch up. She has a shipping status update on her website https://jlbmfg.com/
  11. I use Red Pocket Mobile and pay about $11 per month with tax. Yes the base station can use Wi-Fi if it is available.
  12. Agree with Jody. We have a 2000 bubble butt and the seat base and fuel tank have to come out. Taking the engine cover off helps as well. It is not an easy job to unstrap the tank, disconnect the fuel lines and get the tank out of the boat. Really is a two person job and you definitely want the tank to be pretty empty.
  13. Here is the interior. We will probably change it up some. We when looking at the boats in person the white vinyl looked kind of “yellowish” up against the pure white of the gel coat so we went with light grey but it looks kind of dull. So may go back to white with light blue trim.
  14. Dealer estimates Feb or March and said that was probably the last ProStar they would get. They had 4 production slots for ProStars and ours was the third one and they would probably lose their fourth to another dealership.
