I put an ad on Ski-it-Again for my 2011 C200 6L, with 835hrs, for $45K and sold it within 24 hours, and had 3 buyers in that time frame. The market is HOT right now.

Although we have had Hybrids for years, after the election last year we figured it's just a matter of time when we see $5 and $6 dollar gas. So we went and bought 2021 Plug in Hybrids. Which both had $7500 tax rebates. I actually bought my first 1/2 tank of gas today, only because, after months of use, it's heading towards $3 now. My Wife has not even bought her first tank of gas yet.

We also have had 48 Solar Panels on our roof for 10 years now, and only pay tax on our electric bill. So it feels like were driving for free.

An electric boat would just be great. The Slalom Course is right in front of my house, so I only need it to run 1/2 hour at a time. Same for my ski partners. Plus the instant torque you feel in my SUV would be great in the boat. I truly believe it is the future.

I have been using mine for 3 years and it has worked flawlessly. My Canon Camera is way over the recommended weight limit in their manual yet has continued to provide perfect videos. I have used virtually every Camera Mount out there since 1991 and this one has worked the best.

I bought that boat brand new when we moved to Texas from Kauai in 98. Had the LT-1 Corvette Engine and it was gorgeous...Have to say it had the WORST WAKE EVER.

One year later they sent me bolt on hull parts and a different rudder with wings on it to improve the wake. Could not wait to get rid of it.

I remember Chet doing the very same to me back in 2000. Working on technique with all passes at 32, then when back at the dock said, "How did you like those last 32's." Said they felt great. He said Good cause they were 35's.

Best Coach Ever, LOVE the Guy !!!

I have used the same old battery charger that is standard for cars, planes, boats, and RV's for years. You can select deep cycle, quick start, trickle charge, etc. they all work. This has worked over 20 years on several Optima Batteries. No special charger needed.

@Horton ... What have you been using for editing software ???

I have been using the Optima Blue top in many boats for years. Best batteries ever. You can search the internet and find them at greatly reduced prices with free shipping.

Not to long ago I was playing an outside Music Gig, took the Optima out of my boat, hooked an inverter to it, and it powered my Amps, PA System, my Guitars, Pedal Board, and 2 Keyboards for hours. Much easier than hauling a big noisy Generator.

@swbca an @BCM ...Thanks for the info. Exactly what I wanted to hear.

I guess the unanswered question is, how does the pull letters and numbers compare to ZO

@BraceMaker ... Seems like a big change in using GPS instead of Magnets lining the course. That was a pain to deal with, especially if Walley's ran over buoys. Looks like they are trying to make it work like ZO with ABC 123. Really don't know how similar the pulls are though.

@Clydesdale ... Thanks for the update. I checked it out on their Web-Site. Looks like they have come a long way since I had PP back in 98.

My Daughter found a low time excellent 97-98 Malibu Response with the LT-1 Corvette Engine and asked me what kind of speed control she could put on it. I told her I didn't believe you could use ZO, but not sure about the others now such as PP and Stargazer. I've only dealt with ZO the last 11 years.

Also, do you still need magnets in the course with these systems ???

The truth is...... "GOD wanted a place to SKI."

How you Guy's don't weight 400 lbs each is beyond me...I gained weight looking at the pictures!!!

Your all very lucky to have such a Great Group !!!

I can only hope they have one when I go to my "Old Folks Home."

Agree with @ Jordan... Believe Masterline should include a Caption on their Web-Site

FOR "OLD DUDES" WITH ELBOW AND WRIST PROBLEMS...THIS HANDLE IS FOR YOU !!!

PS: I'm an Old Dude that Loves mine !!

I have been buying my Radius ERGO from Mike at Performance for years now and about to go get another one soon. I really don't care about the Physics of it, all I know is it totally eliminated Tennis Elbow in my left arm which was EXTREMELY PAINFUL !!!

Also, the curved ends eliminated mis-grabs.... Exactly the same results for one of my ski partners in his 60's.

"Wish" I would have followed your advice !!!

Skiing and Politics....One of my ski partners, a great Guy, is a total Lib.. The rest of us are died in the wool Conservatives...The point being, we all Love each other, ski together, respect each others views, and get along Great. Just wish the rest of the Country could do the same.

@EM....You go Girl, keep telling it like it is. Love the fact your tough as hell and ski like it to. I can really see Chet's influence on you and that's great. Chet is not only my very favorite Coach of all time, but one of my very favorite HUMAN BEINGS !!!

Just keep being who you are, it's obviously working !!!!

Yes, Nate did use it in practice, ran into 43 with it, liked it a lot, however, I believe it interfered with his D3 Sponsorship contract for competition.

I know Whitney was one of the first ones to use it in competition. Saw it on her ski !!!

@Clydesdale ... My L C75 works great for me at 6'4" & 225. I let a friend of mine who weights 242lbs try mine and he found it easier to ski on than his 68" NRG.

30 mins. after my C75 arrived, I received a phone call from Adam Cord to discuss setting up my new ski.

When was the last time your new ski was delivered, the designer of your new ski calls you to discuss proper set up?

It's been about one year later, I still LOVE the ski, and I have gotten follow up e-mails to discuss set-up.

Yes, they are the best, just like their skis.

I have a jiggler from Harbor Freight and it was "JUNK" !!! Had to shake it like 50 times to try and get it to work. Plus the hose was so flimsy and thin it would constantly kink..The one I have shown above was only $12.95 on Amazon and works perfectly !!!
