Lake Sammamish Water Ski Club has a course and does lake rentals or Seattle Water Sports does clinics/demo's.

Between the 3 & 4 ball gives the judges an even view of the course to make a call. Otherwise skier would have an advantage if it is tough to see the far end of the course.

Nice house. The only problem with Reno, is it is windy every afternoon and the water never really gets warm during the summer.

I think the ski is just trying to buck @Horton off. Can he ride it 8 seconds?

@Horton , I'm sure we can work out some drinking time at @richarddoane RV or my house!

Pro Am is at Bell Acqua Lk 2 this year. Guess I need to change my profile? @Horton @dirt wouldn't speak to me if I let you stay at my house and you didn't stay with him first! :)

I will be there as it got switched to our lake. Looking forward to some good skiing. Kevin

That is great, nice place.

The copter comes in quite a bit to Bell Acqua to get water for local fires. Pretty cool to see.

@richarddoane Bell Acqua's water temp dropped below 80 and Steph got out her heavy O'Neil top. :)

I'm not saying to raise the price and I wish boat price's would drop, but I don't see it happening. But if we go with your logic of the R&D was paid for long ago, MC has been overcharging for old technology for years? All I'm saying is logically if a new designed boat comes out (any manufacture), I would expect a price increase at least in MSRP.

I'm not sure on the price, and I'm sure @shaneh is correct on his pricing. But I am curious, why would MC bring out a new boat that has all this R&D and great design and not raise the price. If pricing is the same as the 197, why would they just kill the 197 market. If the new boat is priced the same or close to a 197, who would buy it?

Thanks @scotchipman

Just wondering if @Horton is going to stream scores on the front page for Calgary? Thanks,

The fuel claims are based on what comparison? Which prop? I switched the prop on my 200 to the 654 and have noticed we are not filling it up any more than a MC or Centurion at tournaments. Plus I'm putting a lot less gas in it this year. Companies always compare their best case scenario to the others worst case. Vehicle Mfg's do it all the time. It is all marketing. I think the new MC has a lot of great looking features. But I always wait to see it in person and ski behind it until I make a decision. Heard it might be at the Diablo Shores Pro Am, be nice to check it out.

The large bow eye is for the boat buddy system.

The PTM is a great mirror. Worth the price.

What does @mateovargas have to do with this discussion? He is the "Most Interesting Man in the World".

@jimbrake get a hold of me, my brother has a brand new Masterline jump sling size small he is selling for a good price.

I'm guessing you are asking about the "Wait Timer". I think it depends on the site and time allocations to complete the event. It is more to keep it fair to all skiers. We typically use 45 sec. We will bump it down to 40 sec, if we have a lot of skiers to pull that day.

@Horton are you and Eric going to hang out and test trick skis now?

@richarddoane that picture has to be photo shopped. Only times I have been to Boarderline it has been raining. :)

Get a foot file (sander) and after you get out of the water sand the calluses down each time. This keeps them from building up and tearing.

@horton Yes Chuck Norris ran 47 off
