it's obvious this sport demographic wise has become a geriatric sport. deep water starts become more difficult as we age, ticks me off! more ticked off tonight, put one hell of a handle ding on the opposite edge of my senate missing a deep up this morning... arrg!!!!@@@ another reason not to buy a new stick!! just screw it up!!! I'll have another round of jb weld please, oh and a shot for the mental pain!!!

i have a 750 hour 5.3/80 123 on ski it again now. would make a great repower in a bubble butt or pre 06 196. A new 6.0 bob tail non cat is in the $12k range now as well as a 80 transmission 123:1 pushing $4k

nope! can't afford one on social security. new ski is two months mortgage payment! just going to ride the senate another season. it makes big spray and easy deep starts..

lol! plenty of 196 plugs running around. a plug is what molds are made from.

I think so. like it or not the inboard marine industry is in reality a off shoot of the automotive industry and we are like plumbers. with the decline of competitive water-skiing the new ski boat market is at an all time low. taking up production space for a low volume boat is not what a major builder will do when the bigger higher volume as well as profit margins boat can be built on its place. it would take a small builder like Sanger to produce and market a ski boat in the lower price range. they are not feeding the beast within..

sitting on the floor right now is a new H6 raw water cooled pcm and transmission. right at $20k with shipping and tax.. 2.5 times cost is the common number in this industry as to how much the end user will be charged for a item. with that in mind. the boat companies have far better bying power for raw goods and materials. the same h6 to the boat manufacturer will be substantially less price wise maybe as much as $5k. so now go inventory the rest of the components and materials into the boat and one will find the cost going out the manufacturer door will be as much as 2.5 times less then what the end customer sale will be. so if a new boat is $135k divided by 2.5 equals $54K That the manufacturer has into the product before markup to the dealer. dealer cost on that boat now is close to $80k or more. dealer has to pay flooring (sometimes) as well as prep and a sales commission of 7-10% to the salesperson.. in the big picture with this somewhat Grey scenario one can see why it is far more profitable to build big boats vs small ski boats. some have said the waterski aspect of the boat industry should be lucky manufacturers are still building ski boats ...

tournament: 36 mph men1&2 3@35off. 34mph men 3,4,5,6 3@35 off. 32 mph men 7 so far 1 @32 off "note" hip replacement recovery. Anyone can have a PB in practice.

it will probably work well with that paint ball set up that fires balls out along side the boat for a skier to turn... I ask about product liability only because it is a needed question to be answered. so far like a politician under oath this question has been dodged!

how deep are their product liability pockets?

after looking at the next frame 1/4 buoy.... still need to be in whats considered a skiing position...

I would not know as I don't get that close to buoys!

need a middle finger emoji!!

want to be on the board of a different approach to competitive water-skiing?

just looked online at a j craft.. I want one! wonder how they go around tight turn islands ?

its because the Delorean speedo only went to 85mph.

your right switch time out will not effect why your switch circuit is not working. but question was what is this setting. and yes leave it at 1.8. have you unplugged the switch and direct jumpered the connector to see if it is a switch problem or a extension wire problem. is the switch wire plugged in to the zo harness correctly? did you ohm out the extension wires? did you ohm out the switch?

here ya go! part # ojfg-1.0 99 bucks plus the ride! Or if you just need the seal # GBS1125-JP www.skidim.com

next year! new radar!

naw just rake em over the coals on the internet!!! that's the modern way!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

In a nut shell rope switch time out is how long the micro switch is recognized and and the system applies throttle. that one set at 1.8 seconds..

disinformation?

actually there is a big difference between a snob and a sn. engine is 4-6 " ( I forget) farther back in a snob then a sn. this requires a steeper shaft angle. wakes at slower speeds are far more pronounced and cleaner then a sn. snob at slalom speeds are great but not as good as sn at real short lines, drop off at 35,38 are rough behind the snob. playpen area in the snob is useless except some place for ski gear.

only a Waterski dad knows!
