my buddy has a 216, I absolutely hate skiing behind it. I've never skied the 206 but have heard good things about it
-
I went from an 67 A2 to a 67 Vapor (green). I had a fairly easy transition, picked up a full pass. I never really liked the A2. I did well on the A1 tho.
-
beautiful boat, congrats, I hope to get a chance to ski behind one sometime....theres none around here
-
i can tell you that my ski partner currently has a 2008 response lx that came with the Malibu cruise system. This is the boat I regularly ski/drive. He upgraded to zero off and yes he had to do the ecm update.

I use straight toilet bowl cleaner

Bry, I wasn't the organizer of these events just a participant. There was a group of people that stepped in, made it purely sanctioned and chased everyone away. It got too serious for people. Now I don't know if there is the numbers to justify it. We have been looking at doing it again
-
A big problem is as soon as someone says but what about ratings!!!! There needs to be the rec level guys who don't care about ratings. We used to run a red tourny with a 3 fall and your out. Just what it sounds like. You can fall twice but the third time your done. We had divisions based on ability and we barely could get through the skiers in a day compared to the sanctioned events that 5-8 skiers would show up. All I'm saying is not everybody cares about ratings for nationals

I bought my 9 yr daughter an eagle vest an she loves it. Only thing I would consider is the swimming ability of the child. If not a good swimmer then make sure it is USCG approved
-
That should be hamrick
-
I set mine and that's it, form is more important to me, don't need any excuses. I remember an interview with Natalie Garrick who said she never touched her fin
-
Shoot a little anti seize on it such as wd-40 while its under tension. You won't need to beat the prop
-
When I installed my stargazer, our course wasn't in yet. I used the capture mode to calibrate it and it was fine. Once our course was out I. I then calibrated it in the course. So yes there is a non course calibration setting
-
To clarify, if I was strictly driving a course I would choose the nautique. If a boat tracks straight, that means that it doesn't want to turn!
-
I have driven a lot of different nautiques over the years including the tsc1 and 2 and now the 200's. I will take a Malibu for open water use any day of the week
-
Look for an early 2000 response lx the wake is great and they handle batter than any boat out there. The nautique is great if you drive in a course but handles like a tank outside. They are built for driving a straight line only.
-
My buddy used to do that all the time, he would do some circles to clear the ice and off he goes
-
The lx has a much smaller wake at the slow speeds
-
To bring a boat into Canada, you do NOT have to give 72 hrs notice (mine came from the US). That only applies to a motor vehicle. The boat is not a motor vehicle because it is not registerd on the road and the trailer is not self propelled that only applies for cars etc

Wake house has a 2014 lyric on for $250. My wife has one and loves it. Can't beat it for the price

radar total awarsomenes 63 inch ski hows it go
brody replied to allycat's topic in Skis Fins Bindings
A pro skier told me to get them to learn to ski on the single from the combo set. As soon as they are steady on the single get them off it onto a true kids slalom ski. The combo ski will be more stable to learn on. Once steady, they will develope bad habits to make it turn. This worked great for my 8yr daughter. Now she's killing it on her HO slash -
Currently -18c here right now....not too upset tho with my tennis elbow I can't ski yet anyway
-
I skied there at nationals and it is a sweet spot, would love to go back there sometime
-
I agree don't worry about the fin. My daughter who is 9 is on a 62, she sounds to be at about the same level. She was running the mini around 25 mph and now is moving to working in the full course. The ski size was recommended to me by a pro skier who has kids around this age. He told me not to go over a 62. I disagree about skipping the mini course. It gives them early success, teaches them to pull across the wakes and they don't get frustrated

I have z box and you can free ski no problem with it outside of a course
