  1. plenty of pics on the link, just saying;)
  2. I'm proud of my USA made Bennington, and it tracks straight and true...so long as I'm not pulling anything;)
  3. I have no doubt CC will own a pontoon boat company within the next couple of years.
  4. @Skiphreak GS racing made slalom course skiing come much more natural to me that I think it otherwise would've. Timing, rhythm, the "C" turn thing all play into it. Patience of gliding into the turn is very similar as well. These days I always make symmetrical GS turns while skiing and envision turning buoys. On the flip side (leverage vs glide), flat ski on snow = fast. Flat ski on water = bad:)
  5. I raced USSA for well over a decade, and yes there are similarities between a proper giant slalom turn and rounding a buoy. The stack vs glide phase though couldn't be more different.
  6. $40k is long out the window, but with Chevy able to make a new 1LT C8 for $65-$70k, a ski boat could definitely be on the market for around the same. But with such a small market, it would take the big 3 do to it, and they're not going to bother.
  7. Plycar is one of the best, if not the best. Expensive but white glove treatment. I have a Ferrari broker who can get special pricing with them, if that at all interests you?
  8. The ZX1 stern before the ZX1! Always thought that was the best stern design.
  9. I don't think it's a lack of interested buyers, it's pricing outpacing our ability or desire to pay. The herd of buyers is thinning, there's no question about it.

  11. Pricing is just crazy on new boats. Every single friend of mine who used to religiously buy a new boat every year or two is no longer buying…and it’s 2 hands plus worth of friends including myself. I bet I’m not alone in this anecdotal data set.

  13. All 3 dudes in the boat when you took the pics? Have you tried making the lighter guy sit behind you on the floor? How is it when it's just a driver?
  14. I got bad concussion going to down a stupid water slide. Stuff is going to happen living life :|
  15. Yes, empty ballast. Just a bad slalom wake from what we're all used to.
  16. @6balls that's a great price. I recently had a car shipped up from Tampa and it was $2,400.
  17. Dang, this is my favorite spec for the year down to the color. Wish I was in the market.
  18. Apex was a nice engine based on the GM 5.7 vs the Ford. Not all too common very very solid.
  19. If you're selling a 200, BOS is the audience to advertise to. B)
  20. I had a 196 that demonstrated the same symptoms and replacing the rudder packing fix it.
  21. The 90's SLM Comps had great wakes.
  22. Been watching SIA all summer, and there doesn't look to be a lot of movement? Anyone know if the market has really cooled off that much?
  23. I always liked Mark's posts, but maybe he doesn't want to come back?
