@MitchellM the boat is only worth what the person is willing to pay. 2022 Promos are going for 80K or so. Low ball them. You can always go up. Just can’t come down.

Go to ski it again.com or call skip Dunlop. he is x prop man on this page.

Boats are not moving as fast as they were. Throw out a price and see if they bit. You can always walk away. There loss.

@disland it’s all about the cost. More personal equals more money.

@liquid d I don’t know him personally and he may be a great person, but is voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Nothing personally against him.

Big shout out to Nautique for NO DANO.

@jgills88 the lake is in Gault. Across from many cow pastures. Unless the area has been built out the rich may not be too impressed when the lake first opened it was a great place to ski and memberships were very affordable for the time. I would love to see the full details and the driving staff.

@Andre true. It’s amazing what it takes to count to 6

Kudos to @rico for taking the time to research and write out the cliff note summary.

@foxriverat I have read it. Nautique may of felt felt otherwise. There are 3 sides to this story. Nautiques version Freddie’s version and what really happened. Freddie is a professional. He has sponsors to answer to. I really don’t think he would put out a controversial statement. Regardless of what occurred.

@BraceMaker Nautique does own the masters. How it is tied to the IWFF I really don’t know. Masters are not part of the tour points. other then Jim Michaels who was not only disqualified but banned from the sport for cheating this Freddie issue is the first I can remember. The details of the Michaels incident was released. Why no statement from Nautique I have no clue other then they feel it’s nobody’s business other then the party’s involved including the judges. this whole thread is all speculation of what happened. Other then Freddie’s comments that were posted which really said nothing other then his disappointment of not being included this year there is nothing out there for reliable information. was this a Nautique only decision? It was it the judges? Hard to say. Freddie was able to ski Moomba which was a Nautique event. I do believe if any Nautique team skier was in the same circumstances the same result would occur and even further action taken.

@BraceMaker that does not mean Nautique would not ban Nate if he was in Freddie shoes. I fully realize that Nate is not sponsored by the factory. And that a dealer could give him a boat. But that does not mean The masters /Nautique would not ban him under the same circumstances. Not quite sure what you are getting at

@Jordan yes.

@RAWSki Charlie is in JR masters though.

@JohnN Jodi is absolutely correct. Your gates and pullout set up what happens in the course. It controls your flow with the boat. Do it right and you will be on a great line. Do it wrong and you just chase the boat through the course never feeling free in the turn.

@BrennanKMN you are correct. But I’m this case there are 5 tournament lakes with in 30 min drive or so. this is just pure greed.

Ok 90.00 per set. With no instructions. Driver on site? Is he capable of pulling 38 or shorter competently? I would like some that crack they are smoking

@aupatking good point. Just wondering as mentioned in an earlier post if it was just Nautique doing the ban, why was Freddie allowed to ski Moomba? That too is a Nautique correct craft event also with iwff involvement. There is so much information that we the skiers don’t know and most likely will never be know. This whole thread is all speculation of what happened.

That seem too much considering where they are. There are about 4 other lakes within 30 min roughly drive. The average ski school is 75 a set with instruction so 90 is stupid money for one set.

@6balls 06 didn’t have ZO. there were some late 07 that were able to change over to ZO.

@skialex I’m just defending my opinion. Nobody on this site has any hard facts. But they are sure quick to throw boat companies under the bus making serious accusations about Nautique and yet demanding g an explanation of their actions. the people on this site can bitch and complain about the situation all they want. but it will not change their actions.

@wish this issue is between Freddie and Nautique. Nobody else. Freddie and Nautique don’t own the public the public any explanation. Truthfully this situation is non of our business and the thread should be closed. People are making assumptions and throwing out there .02 and they do not know any facts of what occurred.

@bananaron if you want a 200 better grab this quick. https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=66773 6L are VERY HARD TO COME BY. you may of just found a unicorn.

@wish inmates are the skiers who ski the masters Not the general public.
