    Which prop is on the 200? If its an ACME 422 or 668, that 15.5 inch pitch is too much for the 5.7L engine.

    @Than_Bogan@HortonI've seen the video frame by frame and he clearly hit the buoy squarely as evidenced by the OTF ejection that followed. One of the perks of being part of the TWBC crew in the trailer. On that topic, the slalom prelims were super stressful in there 🙂

    That was a 5.6m (18ft) PB in jump - incredible!!

    From the first skier on Tuesday to the last medal on Sunday as part of the TWBC crew.

    I'll be in the TWBC Trailer helping to bring all the action to those that can't make the trip.

    That’s not Nate’s first close encounter with a ramp. In 2019 at Okeeheelee’s Americas Cup the ramp was very close to the boat guides. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxA2xiM-bGGj6PHDOtKM5ulgmcwE2LLHKQ?si=hUgVcIjQ9eG2_ihl

    Great day today. Many records going down.

    For what its worth, that's an AWSA rule, but not an IWWF rule.

    No issues with the wake or performance between the Open Bow 200 and the Closed Bow 200. Both are great boats.

    You would think so, but you never know for sure until you check. I had to replace my head unit long after Rev S had come out. It came with Rev R on it. It was an easy upgrade when I called them about it since I had already upgraded my old head unit.

    I guess I should just quit wasting my time then!

    I can't find it in the NCWSA rules at the moment, but I believe their mini course is 7.5m from centerline +/- 1m (3-5m inside the turn buoys).

    Resale could be an issue. Back in 2012, I bought a 1000 hour ski school boat. Over the next 8 years the hours climbed to 1800. When I started advertising it for sale in 2019, I got very few inquiries until the beginning of summer after covid hit. Then I received 5 full price offers sight unseen within 2 weeks. I wouldn't plan on another covid event hitting to help sell the next one. It was a great boat for me. Still have 2 very similar boats that are still going strong.

    Hour meter on one of my 2010 200's just turned 3400 hours. Current engine has about 1100 hours. Not really sure how many hours are on the hull. It may have had a previous engine swap before I purchased it.

    I believe my boat was the first one to have this issue. When my mechanic was trying to diagnose the issue, they used a pressure gauge on the fuel rail. With the pressure gauge connected, the boat would not act up. That is part of how they ultimately identified the fix for the issue.

    For me, the replacement indmar parts did the trick.

    @Justin_C I had this exact same issue on a 98 Malibu Response. The solution @UWSkier describes fixed mine when they changed out the stainless fuel rail cross sections with the rubberized ones. Hope you find a solution.

    If its a new system, why is it Rev R? Rev S is the latest version. I would insist on a free upgrade.

    Good to see Manon Costard back in the mix.

    The change to cats was January 1,0 2011. Not exactly sure if it was order date or start of construction, but I remember the local promo guy giving me a call in late 2010 about it. The 2011 boat I had that was used at the Masters had Cats. I sold it with 1800 generally trouble free hours.

    Acme 668 - 15.5 pitch, 0.150 cup Acme 422 - 15.5 pitch, 0.105 cup Acme 654 - 15.0 pitch, 0,105 cup The 654 will give you a little more hole shot vs the 668 or 422.

    They could always use "transparent aluminum", but I suspect the cost would be astronomical!

    This year for Swiss Pro the men started at 32off in the first round and 35off in the second round. First round was 7 skiers/hour and the second round was 12 skiers/hour. The increased pace packs more exciting skiing into the same amount of time. I'm all for it.

    Part of the reason for dual surepath setups is to gather data on the difference in readings from the different locations.
