  1. My Radars look more like a spaghetti strainer but still feel good. many seams opened up and some holes but still better then my old clinchers. I did go a lot tighter with the Radars.

    I need to get some more and some new handles. Next time I go past Silver Spray.

  2. took a head over in a downhill race many years ago. Looking up I see a ski coming at my head. I put my arm up to block it It missed my upper head but went into my mouth took out all my front teeth split my lower lip. Kfennell hang in and get well.
  3. At 65 one of our old farts did both knees total replacement like Feb.8. Back on the water June 8. Now we are not hard core buoy chasers but he is skiing better than ever. He also had polio as a child so his trailing foot does not hold the weight like many of us. Good luck if yo do it.
  4. Yahoo back on the ski tonight after 5 surgery's. 22 Days off from the last two visits. So good to be back on a ski and all done with everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except getting to know my new dermatologist.

    Every 3 months for the next 4 - 5 years then every 6 months.

  5. richarddoane is on the money. I would start with the injectors. with the fuels today they could be trash. One thing people don't talk about much are valve springs, if they are week it can cost big H.P.

    Have a leak down test run on the engine. It should be very cheep to run some tests Leak down , compression

    fuel pressure valve spring seat and open pressure. If you do this you will know if a rebuild is needed or just some small amount of tune up work . I would not spend the money for a new boat if you are happy with yours!

  6. I keep two 6 gallon buckets with lids in the boat and it works good. If we pick up another skier witch we do often I just dump the buckets and stash them. I am just wondering what the effect of the torque of the prop has on the boat. I think the Rlxi has less hull in the water also. You do see a change in the wake when off balance.

     

  7. I am on a public lake and we ski illegal quite often, No spotter. I have a Rlxi and my bud has CC 196. I need to weight my Rlxi to compensate for driver only. The CC, it is not noticeable. My question, is this due to the what I will call the reverse rotation of the prop on the CC 196 ? If I had bucks to burn I would love to set up a Rlxi with a set up like CC.

    I know just go buy a CC. Should I just go ski and not think about this crap?
