If you can hear the fuel system power up before starting, it's probably not the problem. Could be coil system, but likley to be the crank pisition sensor. Especially if it started one day but not the next.

I vote turnaround islands. Clears end course rollers,  no bow rollers taking off toward course. Tubers, jet skiers, shouldn't be allowed.  There are plenty of other places to do that. 

The 3M prolock works great. (1 side attached to ski) Once you get your binding pkates snugged down, you rarely will have to tighten your screws again. 

Last fall I was getting 3,4, at 32mph 32off. I know I can get 1,2 at 32off at 34mph. Problem with ZBS is is that it rarely equals a full 6 bouys going up or down. Lots of extenuating circumstances. 

What a great opportunity to have some really great club sponsored driving clinics. Most of the clinics are designed to test and upgrade tournament drivers.  I would like to believe a lot of outliers would attend to just be better drivers. Even if their home course is an Accufloat, SP will help them find the center and learn to be in sync with the skier. Then on their home course, and they can drive the curve and still give the skier a good ride.

I know this is just being picky. But what you are referring to is not a head. It's an exhaust manifold with built in catalytic converter.  Non converter manifolds might work, but probably won't sync with the ECM. Might be able to replace the ECM, but expensive and might not work. Jody knows best. Consider Repower. You have a great boat which should last another 10 years.

Goode 9100 260 amp Jeff Rogers settings. I progressed 2 full passes in a short time on that ski.

The 5.3 when it first came out on a 200 felt very weird and hard to ski behind. Now one of my ski partners has a SN with that engine and it feels the same to me as a SN with a  6.2. Unless your a deep short line skier, I don't think it would matter. But I'm only a 32offer. 

If you are not interested in an electric boat, several questions are irrelevant. If you do not own a boat, how far you trailer, where your dock/lift/storage is irrelevant.

Happy birthday and thank you.

Whatever mirror works for you, fine. But when you are diving in the slalom course, remember to focus more on your driving, and less watching the skier. If you follow the skier through the turns, you will usually find yourself off course.

The bonus of having your arms straight through the wake is that your wake crossings will be 100% better. Slalom skiing 101.

So, would we turn in every practice score, or just the best of the week? I think turning in video would end up being cumbersome for the administrator. The honor system plus naming your witness would cool. Like local play golf, everybody signs the the scorecard.. PP, ZO, hand drive, dont care, honor sytem in play. We could even do a virtual finals, all on the same weekend.

I get amazing quality from an 8 yr old Samsung Galaxy 5s, shot at 1.5 zoom.

Kudos Matt. We need more good stories like this. Collegiate might be a seperate sport division, but it's 3 EVENT, our bread and butter, directly connected to AWSA.

A short piece of PVC pipe works well.

Great lineup.

Spend the money and convert to ZO. You won't regret it. You'll have one of the best slalom rigs of all time. Trick table is nice too. You would also get your money back for the conversion if you ever sell.

They also carry the white styro round bouys, cheap and work great for attaching right to the arms to prevent sagging. If you have the mini course set up use the 6", otherwise use the 8". The 6" make nice sub bouys for anchored courses.

Ski Ultimate, Estero.

The ladies were awesome too

There was a 1200' lake to the southeast on the property. (Google maps) Did they just extend it past the dog park and connect to the other small pond ?

1983, Fairland, IN. First time I ran 36 long line and they had to stop the boat to shorten the rope. That day I officially became a "shortline skier". I started at 30 and in those days they didn't stop between passes until we ran our max speed.

I think "How did that happen?"
