  1. @DCook I thought the same thing but the MC Cool Feel is the real deal. Doesn't get hot like you would think. I had a Malibu with a light gray interior piece that felt like it was burning your skin when you sat on it. This stuff is way better than traditional interior.
  2. https://www.onlyinboards.com/2018-MasterCraft-Prostar-with-Tower-for-sale-South-Jordan-Utah-102067.aspx Trying to move this boat. Just curious what you would pay if you were in the market. Thinking about either dropping my price way down or holding it till spring?
  3. lowered the price to $57,000 OBO. http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=52380
  4. Loving everything I am feeling when I'm on this ski. I am 185lbs 34mph -22 to -35 skier riding the 67". I like how level this ski rides. Ski also carries speed well everywhere. I am still amazed with the space it gives me going into the buoy. Another big deal is how well the ski turns and is smearing on my offside 1,3,5. This is allowing me to set more angle than I have ever set on my weak turning side. I only have 5 sets on it now but can say each time I have skied it my confidence is rising. I did set a season practice PB on Tuesday which was my fifth set on the ski. I can see my 19 will be collecting dust.

  6. @skinut what is your elevation? Stillwater is about 4200ft and has a nice set up on both lakes both directions. Like I said earlier my boat has pulled Nick through 39. Rossi and Martin Bartalsky also skied the boat and loved the pull all with perfect full course and segment times. The motor is not just wide open either it is cycling with zero off giving a very nice ride. If we were higher than 5000 ft and knew we would be pulling open men skiers on a short set up all the time 6.0 or 6.2 no question. We ski at 34mph occasionally into 38off and couldn't be happier with the pull from this boat.
  7. @JaredSmith I paid $500 for the prop vs $15,000 for the 6.2 upgrade! I ski behind my 2018 5.7 and the 2019 6.2 promo same lake and honestly don’t feel much difference. Definitely feel the differences when driving the two boats but the pull for slalom not really.
  8. Very sorry for your loss John. I’m sure he will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Look at the legacy he has left behind.
  9. I am running a special three blade OJ prop (712M) that is amazing. But does great and gets up to speed easy. Boat pulled Nick Parsons through 39 off at 36mph he liked it.
  10. @Andre not sure if I will be ordering new or picking up something used next spring/summer.

  12. 34mph 185lbs 67" long shallow setting. skiing 22-35 off never have ran 38. Practice and tournament average are 3@35. current ski is 2019 67" Vapor. 1st set I was a bit rushed setting the fin and didn't have it perfectly set. Still a great 1st set skiing right up to my average of 3@35 This ski is fast. I kept finding myself with to much glide for the gates which typically puts me narrow and late at one ball. also found myself having to scrub speed coming into offside 1,3,5. I think I was a bit tentative on my first set. Ski turned very well on both sides. Before skiing the 2nd set I dialed the fin in. Went out at -28 feeling much better with my gate glide. First thing I noticed was how level this ski stays front to back. The biggest benefits with this was the feeling at the end of the turn where I have a tendency to rock back onto the tail. The ski likes to stay level there for me resulting in more tip engagement as the line comes tight. More ski in the water was putting me early and wide on both sides. Another attribute I liked is ski position coming into the buoy. I have a tendency to stay compressed off the second wake resulting in being heavy on the tail. This ski made my transition from compressed to standing tall and shifting forward much easier. Finding myself more forward on this ski into and out of the buoy might be the greatest attribute. This ski also feels easier to roll onto edge compared to the 19 letting me find my stacked position a bit sooner. I also noticed this ski smearing more in the turn creating more angle off the buoy which is always a good thing if your ready for it. This will take some getting used to but will be of great benefit. So 2nd set went down the line getting 1@38!! I totally blew it going to one at 38 and over pulled. With the ski rolling onto edge easier and being faster I will have to compensate a bit from what I am used to (this is a good thing). I am very excited with my results after only two sets. Any time I run 35 is a celebration! Cannot wait to own this ski. Thanks again to the designer @Chris Rossi and product manager @brooks as well as the entire Radar team for continuing to design and produce killer products!!
  13. @matthewbrown thanks for posting! It's always a privilege and pleasure to witness greatness behind the boat.
  14. I was told the top jumpers are loving the new power plant and hitting 230 foot jumps behind it. No more option for the 5.3 or the 5.7. You get a 6.0 or 6.2. Could be a long winter waiting on a 2020!

  16. So nice to see the raw water impeller moved to an easy change out spot! @RAWSki HP= 373 Torque FT-LB= 407
  17. 2020 is sounding like a really nice year for a new boat.
  18. If its on the internet it has to be true.
  19. +2 on the wix or equivalent from my local napa store.
  20. First question. Does anyone ever ski on your lake besides you? Second question. Does the wind ever actually blow? And finally how do you deal with the spray leg from having to ski so much glass?
  21. loving this boat!!!!
