Re-Power is your best option, GT 40 parts are getting hard to find. My previous boat was a 96 and I loved it. For what you are describing that hull will serve you well. I haven't skied behind a Tige I can't comment on a comparison for that hull. In general it doesn't track as well as the TSC's but still a great boat.

@tbarile yes, I am on my third season with a Matuse top. It is warm, flexible and durable. I destroyed a couple of camaro tops then swtiched to Matuse and will never go back.

@Horton what are you running in your Prostar? I have a 2020 with a 6.0 87 E10 seems to work very well. Adam Cord ran 39 behind it, so I guess it is ok. My Previous boat had a GT40 and I initially ran 92 octane straight gas, no ethanol, when I switched to 87 E10 there was a noticeable difference with that motor.

@trs01 it would be great to hear you on the Mic again, the Masters is hard to listen to with a wakeboarder on the call.

@klindy Thanks for the info, I just checked the website to confirm, glad to see the members voices were heard.

Personally I have to do safe sport training as a member of the National Ski Patrol, so it doesn't affect me. But to have a person that is on Safe Sport probation serve on the board and then require all members to take the training is hypocritical!

@Danlarson1223 the Ski started as a D3 X7 and they were built in the D3 Factory if that helps.

Sold

@rockdog I am trying to help my brother sell this, I don't have first hand knowledge of the engine other than it has an exhaust leak and one cylinder that is less than the average of the others. The ZO has also been intermittent, is that a puck and is fixed with an upgrade to a single puck or is it the head unit. The trailer bearings and brakes haven't been touched and the boat has only been used a couple of times in the past few years. The current price could be a win if all fixes are minor but it also allows for more significant work if needed based on current market prices. Just trying to be completely transparent, I don't want my name associated with a bad deal.

The engine isn't junk but it and the boat need work. Its a great price for the right person that wants to take on a project. The boat belongs to my brother, trying to help him sell it.

Price reduced to $19,500!

Any ballers in So Cal looking for a good price on a ZO boat. Its a project and the seller is Motivated! https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=58212 Any questions please DM me.

The Trick Skier at the 28 minute mark, goes from two skis to one and then tow tricks in the same pass, I think that was Ricky McCormick? Very impressive.

Tires filled with Concrete and stainless eye bolts. The tires make them easy to move / roll to get in place.

I am running the same oil Horton posted, it was recommended by the dealer I purchased the boat from. 5W-30 seems more appropriate then Rotella and if something happens I will let the dealer fight it out with Ilmor. Update from The Dealer / Ilmor Rotella 15W-40 is the correct oil for the 6.0. I will be changing tonight.

@skihart The links are in the earlier part of this thread. You Tube the Water Ski Broadcasting Company.

@KRoundy If you come by and say Hi I will give you a beer. You can't beat that offer great skiing, good people and free beer!

The Technical Controller at the Western Regional tournament brought in two sets of ropes. The Masterline optimized 2 and Syndicate ropes. Each skier was give a choice. In my opinion this was great option for the skiers with very little hassle.

@KRoundy 0800 start both days. If you can only make it one of the two days I suggest Sunday to watch the Pro Head to Head final. Please come by and say hello.

@jimski get yourself a rubber raft and paddle out into international waters and we will come pick you up and smuggle you in. :p
