Got it out this weekend. Very different operating experience. In some ways was easier; in other ways required more focus/attention. I'm sure that it will get easier with time. Got the Perfect Pass figured out, which is pretty cool. Overall, I'm very eased so far. Older boys thought the slalom wake was legit.

I appreciate all of the comments and insights that everyone here gave me. I have acquired a 2005 Air Nautique 206 (with the small ballast) that is in very good condition with 350 hours. I probably overpaid as it seems like every boat these days is priced high, but the kids aren't getting any younger! We haven't been able to get it on the water yet, but everyone is excited to ski behind a real ski boat. Again, thanks for all of the good information.

This is great information. I appreciate all of it. Hopefully something decent will pop up soon.

Well, if it was real, it's now gone! How does Response TXI handle chop/rough water?

Just watched an old promo video for the FXI. That looks incredible.

Thanks for all of the information and opinions. I have done a little bit of looking for LXI's and the few that I have seen for sale in rough shape and/or apparently plated in precious metals (if the asking price is any indication)! I wonder if, now that kids summer sports, pools, etc are open, used boat prices will come back towards reality. One can hope...

Thanks for all of the comments so far. For what it's worth, my current boat is a Maxum 2000 SRL. We run full line length at speeds of generally between 28-33. We have experimented with shortened rope lengths but the wake seems bigger/sharper on our boat, so we haven't messed with it much.
