  1. unfortunately thats nearly a no longer available item. they are back logged on order. you might want to consider a repower with3,000 plus hours..
  2. If you aint a little fat , Yo Momma did not love you!!
  3. Hopefully they will invite Regina.Wait she is a pro right? Shes a pharmacist! .I think in the big picture having a true competition event in conjunction with the nationals will fill the stands.Going to be a well attended event for sure. run the final round under the lights?I think AWSA rule book still states there shall be no distinction between amateurs and professionals.
  4. @Wish the first few Styers we did came out of Anno shop. kinda like Area 51!!
  5. actually that Styer is a pretty good out of the hole engine / trans package. I skied behind a number of them that were specific ordered for a resort in Greece. my only complaint was that I could smell diesel... yuck!
  6. @HortonNo the place was called the Booby Trap. right off of I-4. the building was torn down in 2015
  7. yes you can pull the new cable through with the old cable. cut the rack off with a pair of bolt cutters. wala! no rack to pull through.
  8. @RAWSki The wet-Zepplin 200
  9. been reading about marine hybrid systems coming online. mostly for bigger slower boats and of course diesel hybrid. still the biggest hurdle is the sheer weight of the batteries needed for these applications. a light set of batteries #1400 pounds....
  10. my physical therapist tells me my glutes are real weak. thats what we are working on now. my daughter (another physical terrorist) has told me the same thing long before my hip replacement.have even had Regina splain me that Glute strength is very important for effective body mechanics to run shortline slalom.not sure how much or if any correlation between foot stance on the ski has any effect or can be detrimental to hip failure. but I do know that having a strong core and now as well glute strength is key to driving the hips up to the handle and maintaining a strong stacked stance behind the boat. Buns of steel!
  11. hey ! I think it is great. investing in American companies. not outsourcing to the east. I wonder how a toone tracks in the course?
  12. I think mainly it was for PCM to increase their metal casting resources.
  13. being somewhat laid up from surgery my ski partner at lake jillian took a ride yesterday. air 82 water 72 here in the redneck riveria.
  14. @BraceMaker . I am not seeing to many pure ski/tournament boats for repower but the larger 216, sport nautique, PS205 family and oh you can ski behind it boats. and one 196 is on the winter plate for repower.
  15. being the devils advocate: why would you want Perfect Pass to be more like Zero Off? Or,Would you more like the idea that it does not matter in competition what speed control or boat is being used as long as all the given playing field rules are adhered too and is all equal on game day?Oh but wait we cant have that, someone on the rankings list might get moved down or the analites in the sport will get there panty's in a wad because it just aint the same as what they run in BFE.
  16. in 2001 a group of boat racers had enough of what the American Power boat association was ramming down their throats.They started a new sanctioning body for the kneel down classes that was more in tune with their needs,.75 mph max boats rather then 150 plus mph boats and all the insuranceas well as common in house political BS they wanted to be free of . the organization is more regional then national but they have survived as well hasprospered.I wonder if the same concept would thrive for three event waterskiers?
  17. know the tune to Popeye the sailor man?I have been told there are a couple NFL quarterbacks that had that procure on purpose..my shoulder instantly gained more rotational use as well as flexibility in the shoulder when mine went.
  18. the down side to making the sniper work on marine application is the o2 sensors. usually a machined spacer between the risers and manifolds, these spacer o2 blocks are suspect in allowing water back up on the sensors during operation causing failure . hurdles in the marine industry and then trying to utilize proprietary application of say ZO in or on anything other then e-control.but have heart , if the engine is a vortec, multiportwith either a 3 bolt or 4 bolt throttle body and acrank sensor . it can be made to utilize e controland zero off. there are even custom intake manifolds at summit and jegs that would work just fine...more to come on that one. you get one tune but it is robust and has a 5200 rpm limiter.
  19. I think the question now is can i refit, restore and re-power my boat for under $40K?just doing the ground work now on a 2000 sport nautique:New engine non cat 6.0 sitting on my floor with transmission $15K including shipping.complete set of interior skins from C&S $6Kperipherals- steering cable, fuel lines, exhaust hoses, band clamps and misc supplies and hardware $1000Flooring- carpet or sea deck $1000- $2,500polish and re decal $1500-$2000Zero off $1600Labor $2500-$3500Tax 6.5% I utilize PleasureCraft Engines re-power products as they to my knowledge are the only suppliers of engines that offer non cat and e-control capabilities. Could a comp boat be built and made available on the trailer for under $80K? i think only from a small builder. The boat would have to be analog as well as bare bones. but with the plethora of quality boat candidates for refit in and on the market as well as already paid for as well as out rightly owned. it really makes no sense to purchase a new boat, unless one just has to have the latest, greatest, updatest, elitist slice of bread, one must remember its still a slice of bread. @Dano I like where you are going with that however setting up and piecing together a small block vortec engine will cost more then to just go ahead and purchase a available repower package. i have done the math and why would anyone want a small block when a 6.0 is the same price or less money?
  20. @Golfguy no that's the circuit your red lanyard cut off switch near the throttle is connected to.
