Anyone know of or have a trailer for a 200 for sale??

@horton do we call you Zuckerberg now? lol

Had a 2019 200, ZERO issues, ZERO QC issues, 300hrs+, skied great, drove great, nothin but compliments from skiers and drivers over 2 years with over a half dozen tournaments pulled with it, many PB's set behind it. Ordered a 2021 and it's being built as we speak

Tough 2/4 side

After spending since May with Sure Path and having it at a dozen tournaments and countless drivers using it at multiple sites there are some things that came to light in regards to this topic First time users worry more about being down the middle at the expense of the skiers, this probably relates to the Pro's concerns. Some drivers got 'used' to Sure Path and relaxed it became better for everyone, some could not shake the 'down the middle at all costs' Being towards a skier at each buoy DOES NOT necessarily equate to a good or helpful pull to a skier Sometimes the skiers relayed the pass felt incredible and a driver "off sided" them once or more even Sure Path data alone will not make for a better driver, looking at your path after a pass is not enough to analyze what occurred, additional knowledge of what the skier did during the pass helps analyze what occurred and why, where the driver may have erred and why As drivers we should all strive to be as close to center line as possible, but not at the expense of the skiers. Drivers need to be more educated about their skiers, how/when they pull out, their tendencies through the course etc and tournament organizers need to stop having 3 different drivers for each of the skiers 3 rounds. Same driver, same skiers for all rounds, drivers can learn about the skiers, skiers gain comfort with how the driver drives, makes for better scores Maybe slightly, maybe a lot off topic, I don't know...stay down the pipe but don't screw the skier

D3 ION

I wanna know what kind of boat is that??

@ski6jones a disclaimer or a waiver to sign?

@ToddF and if it's too windy for ya you can come on over to Cottonwood and take sets there, where we RARELY have wind effect on the lake, could pick up @bigtex2011 on the way and have an 'eventful' day over here!!

@Jtim3032 so was this tested on boys leaving the pub after a football game for total path deviation on the walk home?

@bigtex2011 I'm told they are a solid and majestic animal that commands respect...

#bigspray

Annnnnd @thager gives us an example why we need to have explicit instructions and explanations for everything common sense is not alive nor well...?

Can Nautique (or all of em) integrate these kind of seats for tourney judging? Please?

@bigtex2011 ... new wonder women though! @Than_Bogan blasphemy!! Just burstin happy bubbles huh?

@ballsohard Charlie isn't on a Ion...#fakenews ?

Just skied for a week behind a new Ski and a tourney behind another brand new ski, felt amazing, drove great...ran my highest scores of the year behind them, crazy impressed. Have skied many others since they came out but these new ones feel awesome

@cottage9 I will check, think there maybe one

Have both in reg and S

I like how it's all full names and then there's...."Rob" :D

yes and 8 or 7 deg usually

I will second @savaiusini the HO suits are AMAZING, much better than the Camaro's, super flexible, let next to no water in through the zipper and they do not snag like the Camaro's do. Have been using a shorty in our 60deg water/air currently and been nice and warm and dry.

@The_MS @teammalibu had a 67 ION he'd prolly let u try!

The most terrible post ever on this site!! Sad to see you all leaving the area, Arkansas is lucky to get the McClain's!! @Horton delete this post and I am gonna keep stealin the for sale sign in the yard and implement some 'step brothers' techniques

@Horton fully understand and agree, however it is easy to deem passes "pattern" driving when you have that data available. What I am saying is that the definition of "pattern driving" does not and was not defined in detail enough to now deal with the data available. Under the current "assumption" of the definition of pattern driving, if you drove, and at each buoy you were positive but well within the mandated tolerances, is that pattern driving? Even if it was between 3-5cm each time? Or all the numbers were positive but with varying amounts, but within tolerance? Will all those that review these passes have the SAME understanding of allowable measurements? All I am saying is that as it sits the rule can easily be used to deem pattern driving to even the smallest measurement AND will cause drivers to be fearful of that (which is good to a point) and more than likely, consciously, be fearful of positives with the result it not "feeling as good" to the skiers. In the 6 or so tourneys I have had Sure Path in use easily the majority of 'new' to the system drivers all focused more on the numbers and getting "zero's" (as you once stated) and lost most regard for the skiers. Most were Sr drivers and INT drivers. Yes it tightens tolerances, which is good, and it is an amazing learning tool BUT the acceptability level of the "pattern diving" label needs to be defined or preferably removed all together. Here's the question, assuming we, the skiers. decide what WE want for our sport...if you can get a driver who can give you positives all the way down and make it "feel good" is that not what you would prefer or do you want a driver that drives a freight train down the middle? It's pretty simple, we already have our tolerance driving measurements, keep it in those tolerances and life is good!
