At Princeton we have a water well. The lake level has never dropped below operating range, even with most of us using the lake for irrigation. We've been here 5 years and absolutely love it. On a different topic, picked up my new 200CB yesterday...just in time for winter weather.

Using 41 tails and kevlar liners, but the gloves are worn out and did have the previously mentioned issue with the palm strap. Thinking about trying a pair of masterline's or radar boas. Several of our neighbors shave their caluses, but we use a dremel tool with a med course sandpaper cylinder to keep the calluses thin. Haven't blistered or torn a callus in years, even with a couple of sets a day with 8-10 passes each in very warm water.

Thanks for all the good advice. Think I'll try black 250 and see if it will adhere better to the ski than the clear version. Prepped the surface as directed each time, but never could get the clear 250 to stop peeling off.

After a bad first season (2010) of both sides of the 250 interlok regularly peeling off my mid-ride (warm Texas water?) causing several pre-releases and minor injuries, I switched it out for 400 on both sides. Don't tell Dave. Decided I don't want it releasing at all. Since then in a couple of bad crashes, binding stayed on ski but I was not injured. Switched to this ski after breaking left talus in 3 places hitting a 4 ball using Animals. I know I need to experiment with less 400, but I really feel solid on the current setup. Only skiing at 15-22off 34mph - my setup would probably be a lot more risky for a shortline skier.

Love the wake on my 2006 SN196, but I usually get more buoys behind a neighbor's '92 Prostar190 (both have PP Stargazer). Loved my '92 SNOB for 14 years, but wake was not as good as either of the above boats.
