I am planning one last set today here in MN then pulling the boat and winterizing before a cold front that arrives tonight. 

Hose clamp. Infinite adjustment. $1.00 😂

I ski C2 behind my 5.7L. For the 6.0L and 6.2L I drop down a letter and use B2. Experiment

and see what works for you.

Still running my 02 196 which I converted to ZO in 2010. Outstanding ZO pull in the slalom course. When I was skiing competition I had no problem skiing behind the other boats to the same level as at home at a HUGE discount in price.  

About a week or so left if I can get my guys to ski...

@teammalibu builds some nice plates too!

Wow, Those Reflex plates are expensive! Since you want to just play with it, I would get some G-10 plate material, cut out and drill a plate and mount it up with 250/400 3M dual loc. 

@6balls I said try! I never get rid of a good ski until I find something better!

@igkya Provided the ECM has not changed the total time can be read with the correct electronic reader. Can't remember name of device right now.

I changed from a 19 Senate Pro to a used Lapoint LP1 this spring. Up by a pass from my usual practice 2@-35 to 2@-38 on the LP1.  For 2024  would love to try a  1. 67" LaPoint LP2  2. Goode 66" Wide Ride  3. 65" Large  C95. 

From the prices I see quoted above the difference is $10. ($70 - $60 = $10)

Let your Insurance Company make the call. Ask them to assume question of risk.

Had most of the above symptoms last week with my 02 196 ZO. Talked to Tim White at Inboard Solutions LLC. Tim sent me the OEM parts I needed. I replaced cap and rotor. Easy install. Was about 20 minutes. All is good again. Like a new boat!

@Waternut Just a WAG here but like you I was always blowing the tail on my offside and toughest pass usually at 2 ball @ -35. Usually I was late and fast with high intensity, cuz this was my hardest pass. Gotta throw an epic turn mentality! Also, I was unknowingly really moving up on the front of the ski very quickly to bleed speed. When I did that I always popped the tail. Go back and analyze your skiing, maybe change your gate, pull out later, turn in earlier, reduce your intensity, back off on your entry speed, stop moving all over the ski, etc.. Your problem started before the tail pop and I don't think any fin or ski change will fix that. 

I changed a few skiing technique things this year and am now up 6 buoys on my practice average doing the same stupid things at -38 now that I did for years at -35. 

I confess I love calling you "BoneHead"!!!! 😂😂😂

@Wish If it were me I would repair as earlier suggested, then restring it after flipping tear to opposite side. Is not that hard to do yourself.

Lake 3 for me!

Try Elberts. They've been around a long time. www.elberts.com

Looks like another huge waste of time and $$$ on the Olympic dream......

WTF? 😂😂😂

150 feet? Nope! 2 X 70 plus one 5 foot handle is 145 feet.

I know. Wake up.
