How much coin? Now accepting offers. Would like to recoup some of the crane cost.

It is a 78. I found out the original owner today and turns out I know him. He bought the boat right out of high school.

I was looking for a trailer for a '66 Century Resorter and the Nautique popped up on craigslist for $800. The boat didn't have a motor in it and the bottom is peppered with blisters but I thought it would make for the perfect island ornament at the far end of the lake. I can't remember the year I will have to look but 2 people have asked if it's a '77 so it may be. I was able to push the boat onto the barge with pipes underneath. Getting it on the island was uphill so it took a little more effort but wasn't too bad.

I don't know Joe.

I found a ZX-1. Driving to Denver this week to pick it up. Long drive but I think it will be worth it.

23k for any '03 seems high but for a boat that the manufacturer is gone it's way too high. I would guess the seller wants to sell the 01 more than the 03. Still looking.

To rodltg2, If you were to quit skiing we would have to rely on the boat buyers guide to get a review of the boats that are out there.

Not exactly what I expected to see when I googled stripper butt. Never the less MB is spot on to low back pain from water skiing. I have been fighting it for years and the hip flexors are a big part of it. So many muscles attach to the pelvis which are part of that low back and when the pelvis is out of proper alignment it curves the lumbar which cause the problem. I really liked the visual with the foam roller about when the spine is already out of proper alignment and the load causes pain. Reminds of stepping off a curb or in a pot hole and feeling like I just got shocked right in the low back. Thanks Marcus

I had seen that one. Very far away and expensive. Thanks for the note.

Thanks Leon but it sounds pretty rough and I am not looking for a project. I like the ZX-1 cause it really performed well. I like a lot of boats but the Infinity can be had for quite a bit less than one of the big three. I have a SN 200 at the lake and it's great for skiing but it's a club boat so I can't take it off the reservation. An older nautique or malibu or MC cost a lot more and to be honest I don't think is a better boat. Man if MC would have built the ZX-1 like originally planned it would have dominated.

I would be interested in what really rough means.

I am looking for an Infinity 2001 or newer. I used to sell them so I'm quite familiar these boats. If anybody has one they are trying to sell, or knows of one that is for sale I am interested.

Congratulations to Miss Austin! The challenge was a lot of fun especially at the end of the year when the season is winding down up here in the N.W. The water temp drops about 2 degrees a day.  Thanks for hosting a great tournament. Matt McCuddy

It appears I didn't ski quite as bad in 2010 as I had hoped. My average was 110.67 which doesn't get me da money. However it did feel good to break out of a slump and post a good score.

For anyone that is interested in skiing with Steve Schnitzer he will be @ Warman Lake Wednesday and Thursday September 8th and 9th. Wednesday is full up but some spots are available Thursday am. Cost is $60.00 per set. If anyone is interested please contact Matt McCuddy @ 503-819-0700.

I posted right after I paid my entry fee. Did I miss a step?

You may all be in trouble yet. After an injury plagued 2010 season and so far 2011 isn't much better I may have a chance to prevail. I skiied twice in August because of a shoulder thing but September gives me about 3 chances to post a good score. Hopefully I can better my lower than average. Watch out!

Richard Doane, I just sent my entry in today so hopefully the Dutch Star Cooler will still have my beer in it on Saturday. Boody, It's gonna be awesome.

I had thought I would start skiing when it warmed up, maybe even wait til I can ski in a shorty but I had all but forgotten about spray leg. I might have to take a few sets of power washing my calf before I actually get on a ski. Man this has been a tough winter.
