The "gearing" is similar though as the TXi runs a 11.5 pitch prop.

Jump scores looked good to me.

Would be cool if these were clickers like you have on high end powersports shocks for compression and rebound damping. Oh, conditions are rough out there and the risk of stuffing the tip on a roller is high, remove two clicks of tip engagement. Water's cold and ski's not smearing? Add two or three clicks of smear.

Might see if any of Hazelwood's previous gen TXi's with their special lightening modifications are still available. They would take a standard Malibu TXi and remove a bunch of weight from the rear, making for excellent wakes.

What octane are they running? 🤪 This boat is a 6.0L per the twbc graphic. Is that accurate?

Are you sure it's your piriformis? And if it is, are you sure it's tight and not just weak? When does it hurt? I went through a ton of rehab and PT for my piriformis and have it all loosey goosey, but I still have hip pain. Turns out I have cam impingement and a torn labrum. BUT I DID have piriformis issues in the past and this is what fixed me right up. Figure 4 Piriformis stretch Pigeon yoga pose stretch Side lying leg clamshells with a resistance band - lift and hold for a 30 count instead of going up and down Side lying leg raises with a resistance band Back bridges with a resistance band PLANKS PLANKS PLANKS One leg woodpecker drill I can't find video or pics for this, but my PT had me do it and it kicked my ass. Put 4 pieces of tape on the wall in a square about 1 foot by 1 foot. Stand on one leg about a foot from the wall. Keep your abs tight and don't bend at the back. Touch your nose to each piece of tape 10 times without bracing yourself or putting your other foot down. Don't break your nose. Also great for slalom balance.

Do you guys find that these things work themselves loose frequently? They're not very tight when they run in. In my Vapor front boot, I can tell they're loose if I feel a clicking/ticking sensation in my foot. Usually it's because they're too loose and my toe is not making good contact with the toe bar anymore. I have my release wishbone as tight and as far forward as I dare try it. Think of maybe wrapping them in teflon tape before running them in. Thoughts?

I have a common saying after those. "That was going great right up until it wasn't!"

You guys have just broken rule number 1 of boat threads on BoS. One must first pay homage to the utopian craft known as the 200 before making a single disparaging comment or comparison lest you suffer the wrath of the Nautique fan clan. Repent, before they start burning jump skis on your front lawn. I'm just happy Malibu is still in the game. But I have to wonder if we'd have a new TXi by now if it weren't for what happened to Chad...

I do the glide with my back heel up, and I try my best to timber to 10 and 2, but the concept of having the weight on the balls of my feet is something I just can't make myself feel.

That place is awesome. Like the Lambeau or Wrigley of waterskiing. My PB was there for a couple years. I kinda felt bad breaking it somewhere else.

some carb cleaner down the throttle body throat and on the IAC might not be a bad idea if a cleaned spark arrestor helped. Get all the gunk off the butterfly, in any of the orifices, etc.

Assuming you have 110v to the dock/lift. I have a Noco Genius in my boat that gets plugged in whenever the boat isn't in use. Not only will it maintain the charge via trickle charging, it will assess the battery chemistry and take corrective action to help prolong the battery life. I consider it a necessity here in Arizona where the high temps destroy batteries after a few years. All you need for a single starting battery is the lower end model. Been using the predecessor to this linked model for years with great results. Amazon Link

Is he clowning by calling them fishing, sailing, and kayaking gloves, or did he let ChatGPT make up a description for "watersports" gloves or something? lol

friend of mine is riding the 2024 and finding it noticeably faster side to side than the 22/23 shape.

Get with a quality PT and get a good strengthening program going. Most of the time, joint instability like that can be fixed by training the muscles around it. The exercises will suck, but it's worth it to get back on the water. I've dealt with a lot of shoulder issues in the past but I've been pain free for two years now after working with a good PT.

That rear boot is nuts. On the idea of elevating the heel like that, I always thought that was counter-intuitive for most humans. If I build up my heel, I end up pushing on the tail of the ski more. I noticed an improvement in my skiing when I went from a Radar RTP with a big fat footbed to a flat, wafer-thin Wileys rear.

If you DELETE the photos from your album, it deletes them from the cloud too. If you use the "Free up space" option in the Google Photos app, it will remove the videos from the memory on the phone but keep them in the cloud. Here's an example video zoomed to about 1.8x. The shaking is from the camera mount and my big ass taking out the slack, not from the imaging hardware. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MxWHSbiTvmDDuq1u7 The other cool thing about hosting your videos in Google Photos is it uses the Youtube player to view, meaning you can slow down to 1/4 speed by clicking the little gear icon in the lower right. But when you do that, you wish you had a higher frame rate camera lol This is a Google Pixel first gen. Starting in the second generation of the Pixel, they introduced image stabilization that would cause all the funky video effects. I haven't tried my current phone, a Pixel 5, with what BobF suggests, but I think I'm going to.

OG Pixel refers to the very first Pixel. Pixel 1. Those do come with free unlimited google cloud storage. The Wakeye app does control the zoom. I zoom to about 2x for 15-28 off skiing and it works great.

Which version Pixel do you use this for? If I can find something that works with a newer pixel phone, that'd be great. I'm on my third battery on my OG Pixel

The site is well done but there are a few giveaways it's a scam. Most obvious one to me is almost all the Malibus in his inventory are Australian Malibus on Aussie roller trailers.

think this was a fluke mental thing. A wing won't change the way your ski starts in the slightest bit.

Honest question: why run a release on front with a double boot setup? If I was still skiing double boots, I'd dump my release in a heartbeat.

been using Wakeye for years with an OG Google Pixel. Nice thing about that is it includes unlimited Google Photos cloud storage, and automatically uploads the videos once you get back from the lake and the phone gets on the wifi.
