Rather than just wait for another trip to the dealer, my buddy pulled #4 & 7 plugs. For brand new plugs (<2 hrs), they were a bit dirty and gapped ~0.70 and 0.68 where specs are at 0.6. Could that be far enough out of tolerance to cause a loss of power?

Thanks for the suggestions. Boat was dropped off at local dealer for a quick diagnosis. Seems to be an issue with #4 & 7 cylinders.

A buddy of mine just got this boat (<200 hrs) and it ran great for 1.5 days. Then we had some issues with loss of power, but with lots of weeds in pond this year, we cleared the prop (putting boat in reverse) and the loss of power went away and engine ran great for a few more passes. When it happened again, the check engine light came on and we limp back to the dock. Temp, oil and other gauges were fine. We disconnect the battery for a bit. Reconnect battery and the check engine light stays out. Tried to ski again and still a significant loss of power. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

Cat tails work great. I planted several last fall to fix a backwash area and within 1 season, it's almost completely gone. Planning to plant several more this fall. As for being invasive, I don't believe they will grow in more than 3-4' ft of water and they haven't invaded other areas of the shoreline in 10+ years as the need to plant to more.

In Tow has Jr. ropes as well.

@markchilcutt What's the difference you feel with driving?

@vtmecheng, I did a similar thing (traded in a 196 for a 206 because of family). As Thager and MS mentioned, the 206 has a great wake and very comparable to the 196.

And you can add add the Stokes EVO vest to the list.

@TonyLightfoot is this something you could help with? Your broadcasts are already great, why not package them for ESPN? @ESPNSkier any insight on what it takes for something like this to happen?

Free ski the course, as in simply start ~10-20' before you would if you were skiing the course. You can tell if your'e wise enough, establish the rhythm needed to run the course and if you finish 10-20' up course of 6, you have run a virtual course... kind of.

I sure miss Yuengling

Well, originally, the Life is Good website, but they haven't made it in a long time.

So we skip the playoffs and go straight to the Super Bowl?

@tbarile yes. I thought there was another thread about this too.

I don't believe that the 1.5 or 2.0 refer to the thickness of the neoprene, rather the 2.0 is a new/current versions of the suits/tops.

Fed-X, UPS, or any other delivery service company may be a better option.

Radar has a deal on their skis? How much? :D

What up with the pointed ski deck/platform?

it's the indian, not the arrow. You're probably creating unwanted drag, causing your back issues and handle pops.

@BlueSki it's the new math :D or maybe a typo?

~ 5 min. drive or 2 mile as the crow flies.

Senate Pro will easily be good enough for 34mph into 35-38 off.
