A lot of this stuff has sold, Thanks Horton I owe ya a few cold ones! Or?????

Yea! It was my boat a 654 2010 OB 200 Same boat used in slalom at the Masters. Great boat!

Hell I am digging ZO now!!! Keep me away from the slalom course, at 36 mph 32 off and a long straight path loving every min of it! going out this evening my even take a shot at the course! Dont let Mr BXroads fool ya he is an up and coming phenom!!! He brought his powervest last wekend and he had a great time behind our other 6.0 200! At least until he started bleeding, crap! It ruined my good boat towel./vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif

XL And thank you will call this afternoon.

Wow!! Brick Wall!!! Maybe it is because that boat drives straight!! Or you boy's might want to frequent the gym more offten!!! /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gifFunny That same boat pulled many a international slalom record, a world overall record and many, many personal best since it was used at the Masters as the slalom boat. I guess I wont offer up my boat again and send it 5 hours one way as I was told their was not going to be a CC their. Your welcome any way! As for the difference between a 5.7 and a 6.0 remember given that if the gear reduction and the prop are the same it takes the same amount of HP to pull a given skier at a given speed thru the course whether it is 340 hp or 700 hp. I prefer the 6.0 for this hull as it is better accross the board for what we do with the boat. The six liter is actually lighter than the 5.7, however the price difference is not! Cheers! Jody

If you want this stuff please utilize my e-mail for purchase. Thank You. Jody

Panama City Florida, Water 85 Air 91.

I saw Drew walkin around at the Canadian Nationals with something very intersting kinda looked like that!

No you can not reverse engineer as they are calibrated for Perfect Pass. Went down that road right after ZO came out as I had a few extra recievers.

Retail list $269.00 plus shipping (45.00 from NS Canada. Ouch!!!)

Yes but you would still need a GPS puck.

John if this is unapporiate please remove I will under stand! However I will throw a few $$$ into the maintenance of this site for these parts sales. Jody Every Year here at Florida Inboards I find myself overloaded with a lot of good re-usable inboard parts and equipment. This year is no different and maybe even worse than ever.

Yea I liked the Sixam. I really like my new CB-200. Currently skiing on a Mike Morgan hand me down Goode I think I could be persuaded to go whole hog and get a new one!!! Will just have to wait and see what awaits us from Obrien..

Wish they would bring back the original Sixam!!!

Horton! That one Warranted me a T-shirt? 1121-b Hwy 390 Panama City, Florida 32405. Will put it with my special shirts that I wear at tournaments! I did not mean to sound negative because their are pockets of advancement within a few areas in our sport. The mid West is one of them with Jeff Surdej at the helm as EVP he brings a younger mind set as regional leader. The southern region has a new EVP with Bob Archambeau as EVP, Bob will bring about some changes in the south. But our Sport is still over regulated with technology and rules that is truly not needed. Our sanctioning body is run for the most part by elderly men and women that are not at ground level with regular tournament skiers. They tend to be like a flock of Sheep with Mr. Grew as their leader. Does anyone get the bi-monthly news letter from the Ex director? Keep in mind in the last 5 years we have had 3-4 persons in that slot and we still are running the organization like a NON for Profit enity, It is the 21 century! Thanks for the invite to the Great Pacific North West. Keep in mind I grewup in North West Montana and was a founding member of the Echo lake waterski club and Moose Country Ski Ranch. John Goodman Gave me my first driving assignments at the Mud hole in Tri Cities Wash. The North West truly has some great people in the sport but they too are rappidly thinnig out fast. As fAr as adapting to Zero Off this has been very difficult but am taking a differnt approach, at age 53 went back to skiing at 36 mph!!! Less time to think about it that Way! Cheers!

Now thats funny!! Sorry !/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif Fiddle factor!! Good Idea get a Holley you will be much happier. Make sure you get a new one and not someones re-done POS! Hell I will not re-build any carb for customers because I can sell new for a few dollars more and warranty it. PCM Part number RAO52003. These carbs are pre calibrated for waterski usage. I like to put a Blue Secondary cam on them and forget it, However if you just want to install and go they will do just fine from the box. Florida Inboards price $469.00. DIM Price $499. Who ever you buy from make sure you either have a steel feed line or a aeroquip braided line DO NOT USE FUEL LINE FROM FEED PUMP TO CARB! Good luck!

Handles and personal prefrences.... Dare I go further?? Horton you should know better saying what ladies Like!!! Handle wise that is!LOL!!

"Why Ski Tournaments?" This is a good question and until about 4-5 years ago I did not see any reason why not to ski tournaments. After predomitly skiing on Private lakes and working within the industry I had never thought about the masses of skiers out their that did not ski tournaments. After starting my own business and started skiing back on public water I met a lot of new non tournament skiers. Many of these skiers are good skiers, some have had some tournament experience and some could challenge the best in the country. At this time I realized that most all of us tournament participators live in a fish bowl looking out at the world. We have created an elitist mentality with in the sport. We have allowed ourselves to not look at the sport as whole but rather as a sport dedicated towards elite and closed minded participation. We have ruled ourselves to the point that we now have to have current boats a speed control that can only be used in current boats, we only have tournaments on private sites with very limited accessibility to outsiders. The bottom line here is that as a whole we do not want the membership to grow, we do not want more participation among new blood, we just want to do what we have done for the last 20 years or so. Our sanctioning body still does run like a "volunteer Organization" and not a business. We do not have true competition in most all of our tournaments, We have become performance oriented and not truly competitive in nature. We allow for skiers to jump back and forth from elite divisions to age group divisions from tournament to tournament. The elitists that basically run our organization have turned a blind eye to the ZO-PP debacle. I have kept a role in tournament skiing because I have a son and a daughter that are National level competitors. I have not skied a round in 2 years because of ZO, Keep in mind I am on my 5th ZO equipped boat and have beat my brains out trying to ski with this overly harsh system. I keep hoping that in the near future the sanctioning body will flex some muscle and demand from the manufacturers an option D for slalom that is a rpm based program similar to PP classic or even Star Gazer. Skiing tournaments can only be justified by each person wanting to participate. Each participant has their own reasons but the bottom line is if something does not change with in the sport soon their will only be a bunch of old stick in the mud elitist thinking Geezers participating.  I am off to beat my brains out some more with ZO!

Joe, The ski 200 does have a ZO program dedicated to itself REV-Q201. Their are some enhancements for slalom as well as jump. I will get in touch with Andy and get exzact info, as to the life of me I can not remember what they were. Subtle gain enhancements for a higher reving boat. Also because the head unit is mounted a bit sideways it required a different signal reading from the potentiometers.

Back in the day when I was in the R&D dept at CC I did quite a lot of ski testing with and with out the floor board,platform and in some instances without the whole top of the boat. Anyway I do find it a little hard to swallow that loosing around 25-30 pounds total in the rear of a 196 or 99 ski nautique has any noticable effect on the slalom wake. now remove 200 pounds yea! that will have an effect. I played around with a 97 that had the fuel tank in front of the motor ( well it was a 5 gal outboard tank under the deck with a few lead weights for extra representation of fuel) now this boat had no 22 off bump and did have an impact on overall wake size as it was noticably smaller. I am trying to Get Nautiques to offer a teak platform for the 200, I know it will add about 10 pounds but wood is sure easier on the ski bottoms then Gel coat.Â

The event began in 1959 at Callaway Gardens and is held annually during the Memorial Day weekend. The Robin Lake site at Callaway, built specifically for the Masters, boasts an expansive pavilion with covered stadium seating, http://www.masterswaterski.com/history/ Yes maybe the term should be more specific! first dedicated dug waterski lake for tournament waterskiing. Hortons Rocks!

Hopfully this wont cause issues but was not Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens the first man made waterski lake?

If you say so!! lets see engine mounted at 14* ! OK!! left bank, right bank??? front, rear???? Makes no difference to me being cheap only works for the short run anyway. Would rather see a engine properly setup and tuned correctly then shade tree ideas and old school thinking. At least if the carb is not going to be replaced tune it and put the correct parts in it for the application needed. Or Fiddle Factor!!! /vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif

Yea disconect the secondary's on a four barrel intake and run a couple of cylinders lean!!!!! old waterskiers trick! Why not set the boat correctly? Then again As a engine dealer I would rather sell a replacement engine anyway over a carb....Â

Bay County Florida........ 105 heat index 90* plus water temp!!!! Send a little of that cooler stuff down here!!!
