It's a Prado and on the same platform as the 4Runner, the old Landy line-topper SUV is gone.

Closed out 12/31/2023 with a set on Lake Austin, the water was chilly but it was a beautiful sunny 70 degree day.

Gotta be something specific to a state or locality... I know there have been issues on specific lakes in Oregon about wakesurfing, but nothing down here in Texas (as far as I know). I'd like a bit more context before randomly emailing my representatives about something that's not even on their radar.

180 hours over the course of 24 years can be concerning, unfortunately. That's a lot of sitting around for any engine. Personally, I'd prefer a healthier usage history, but it does all depend on how seals and such were maintained.

The Radar X (formerly Capella), and Ronix Capella vests are good CGA vests. They're a bit longer and a bit less bulky than your normal CGA vests. They're the same vest, just the branding and colorways are different. There are more choices in the Ronix branded ones.

There's a guy who does it on the Mastercraft Boat Owners/Team MasterCraft facebook group as well as teamtalk.mastercraft.com. Peter Biever, message on either platform. If you want domed decals go with, domednumbers.com.

Not only an awesome skier, but he's got that all-around lifestyle feel to him that guys like Parks Bonifay have. I think MC likes picking that type of people to rep the brand. Well deserved! As an MC fan, love to see it 🙂

The speed is probably your issue, there simply isn't enough surface area at 22 mph for the Union, where as the Session has the extra width and surface area to compensate for the slower speeds. Looks like Radar suggests a range of 24 to 32 mph for the Union, but I'd suggest going at least 26, otherwise you're going to be feeling some weird behavior. I went from a Butterknife up to a Senate recently, and the increased speed required definitely makes the ski feel much more stable.

Just ordered a '22 Radar Senate Alloy 69" for half price. Super excited to be moving up from my BK.

Around our area (Austin) there's so much money that people buy their first boat and it's a G23 Paragon or similar. They cruise around off plane because they want to go faster than idle for the air flow but don't want to be up on plane, and the result is just surf waves all the time. They also slow down to about surf speed to pass you, rather than dropping down to idle or just staying up on plane because they feel like they're being safe/nice (like if you were driving a car) but the reality is they just sent up a wall of water at a tiny ski boat. At least around here, boater education and a strict licensing requirement (currently none if you were born prior to 9/1/1993, and only the usual NASBLA course if born after) would likely fix a lot of problems. I've really only ran into one malicious piece of work while boating on this lake, it's really just people who don't know any better and didn't go through learning the written and unwritten rules on a smaller, older boat first.
