@dbutcher Interesting? What am I missing

@evolski It’s a 5.7

@Golfguy call Jay about the boat. This is a great looking great driving boat. I have driven several of the carbon pros and this one drives and tracks really nice. Jay takes immaculate care of it as well.

@MS Thanks for putting my safety and the safety of others before yours. Just messing with you. Speedy recovery my friend

Time for BOS magazine in print. I’d get a subscription. Stick to waterski topics. How bout it @Horton

@RichardDoane Done

@bigtex2011 nothing changing at Malibu. The powers that be at Malibu remain excited about waterskiing and the new TXI. Maybe have the opportunity to pick up some new good key promo guys around the country

@Jordan I have no idea. Didn’t mean to press anything on the post. Must of happened when I clicked on the link. My bad

I have been on the Malibu Promo team since 2004. I have seen the price of boats nearly double and as you said the availability of promo boats has diminished. As the boat prices continue to rise those capable of paying these prices is obviously diminished. I think @Horton has a good idea and would actually interest people in maintaining their promo roles. Most places I take my boat to waive my entry fee and often put me up which helps with the cost of trailering a boat 3-6 hrs. As far as allowing any inboard to pull an event don't count on it. The boat test is a huge revenue stream for awsa. Skiers and tournament host should be thankful that the manufacturers are still maintaining 3 event programs. They make far more money and profit on $150000 wakeboard rigs. In the 3 event world wholesale is considered retail. Everyone wants a deal, which limits profits for these companies. On the flip side the wakeboarder pay. Then they add every option available. Do the math you will quickly see where the bean counters at these companies focus their resources. I think Horton is on the right track we as an organization need to incentivize members to maintain promo roles. Or continue to see the numbers dwendle. people may have to use their own boats for events and see 8-15 hrs a weekend racked up on their non promo boats. Also helps when people look to these guys each year when they are purchasing new boats.

Prayers and positive thoughts your way.

It’s a great slalom boat

Yes need link for survey

@LeonL You are incorrect regarding DK''s boat. It has never ghost started as I just spoke with him to confirm. Obviously how rumors get started. DK has been putting boats in gear since I have known him which has been well over 10 years. He has delivered several boats to me even before the touch screen. Always in gear. Having been in the business forever he is always rather safe than sorry. He has seen it al over the years and number of boats he has been in.

Nice looking boat

@kelvin and family always doing a great job with the webcast They always provide a great product showcasing great ski events. And bust their ass doing it.

Only know of one boat with starter issue. Was an issue with the screen which is made by another company. Same company that makes other screens. Pretty sure it was an isolated incident which was resolved All manufacturers have some issues anyone on here that doesn't thinks so is nuts. I have had a 2017 TXI longer than anyone. I have had no issues with my boat. It has over 160 hrs on it and is currently at the collegiant nationals. Just picked up my 2018 which is also headed to Nats. I don't think anyone can go wrong buying any of the boats on the market today. I am extremely happy with the TXI, it has pulled some great scores including the OW world record and numerous pb's. all a matter of choice. What I can say is that if you have an issue with the TXI Dennis Kelley is quick to address any issues. I personally don't think there is another company with a factory representative that is as helpful as Dennis is when it comes to any issues on these boats. He is all about the boat and 3 event skiing. I can assure you any issue a customer may have will be handled quickly by DK. And that type of customer service you can't put a price on

@Conor moving the seat is pretty easy. Just pull it out and you will see how to re drill to move forward

Awesome guys Thank a bunch I'm here setting up. Would you email Paul@sayiwont.com. He will handle all purchases thank you all so much

Hey Ballers We had a vendor and sponsor produce the Malibu Open Shirt which is made by Say I Won't clothing Shirts are very soft light material. Due to location change they had to be altered a bit. Would like to keep him interested in continuing to sponsor these events. Shirts are $25 if anyone would like to purchase. Please message me. Thanks for your support in advance

Don't let @6balls fool you. He looked good out there this weekend

Changed the trim tab shape and size. No grinding needed on 2018

@Than_Bogan Thanks for those comments. Political to say the least. I do not think I have a membership card into that club of drivers. I do know Mario Pigozzi is one of the drivers. Had the chance to drive with him in Italy and at Swiss. He's a great and well deserving driver. Does a great job at the wheel

@Skoot1123 come to Charleston. Great city and hopefully will be a great event Conditions should be awesome. Back in the day it was magic. So come on out

@MAD11 I am with you. These are not competitive conditions. It's ridiculous to let skiers train for 2 years for this event and host it with these conditions. There are no spectators on site so it's certainly not putting athletes in front of a moomba size crowd. Much better places to hold a world championship. I would be ok with this location if it was in front of a crowd. But a backyard worlds in crap conditions. Doesn't make much sense. Like to see Nate Will and Freddy battle it out at 41 and 43. Nate was doing donuts in his boat to rough up lake roper. Was running 41 in rolly water. So imagine how crappy if no one ran 39

These athletes train for two years leading up to this event. They spend a small fortune in travel, hotels and training to go to a location not suitable for a competitive event. There will be no big crowds and no reason for this event to be held at this location. The world championship should be held on a world class site with world class conditions. This is a travesty to these athletes.
