the OJ428 is on the 200 (5.7) and will try it out this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation @Jody_Seal‌ I hope RPM decrease!

@Chef23‌ I am a hack. I started to ski very late in my life. Course only a handful of yrs now on a consistent 2X per week in the north so limited season. I have been 33-34 for the last yr, by July Ill feel comfortable enough to run at 34 all the time. I have not completed a -28 yet, damn close but have not got#5,6 yet. My goal this yr is to get that dreaded #6 and to be really good with no struggles at -22. I will be in the course for the 1st time this yr this weekend. I have been real busy with 2 kids and work. So I will let you know how things go, however I am not the skier that will know how to get to technical. I will do my best with limited knowledge.

Picking my 69.5 up today. will give it a whirl this week. I am 6' 225#.

@Krlee‌ what bracket do you have on your PTM thats mounted to your SN 200? I have this mirror and a bract that fit my old Porstar 190 95' but that bracket does not seem to work on my 2010 sn 200. thanks for the help!

Thanks @ShaneH‌ I will start with these numbers.

@countymountie‌ interesting, do you have those RTP #'s for a 69.5 Vapor? I use a Reflex with RTP.

@JAS‌ Rossi did not give explanation of why the numbers or why the difference in the 2 sets. He just said try the 1st and if not working go to the second. Just got the ski sent today will get it set up this week and give it a try.

Will do!!

@skidawg‌ @Texas6‌ This is for the 69.5 Vapor per Rossi. He said to start with the 1st set of numbers and then if needed try the 2nd. I will not know how this works until next week. I will get my new stick delivered Sat or Monday. (1st set of numbers he gave) 31.25" 2.450 6.960 0.765 9 (2nd set of numbers) 30 7/8" 2.48 6.87 0.77 9

Thanks Rossi sent me numbers to try once I get the ski. If anyone needs them Ill post.

Anyone know the 69.5 numbers? All I seem to see is up to 68 on the net. thx

@Jody_Seal‌ @EJOJprop‌ Jody the pics above you show rpm's of a 428 on your SN 200 at slalom speeds, is that a 6.0, 5.7 or other? If not a 5.7 are the rpm's roughly the same? I have a '10 SN 200 5.7 with the 1868 and I only slalom and pull my 5yr old around the lake, So I want to re prop. I am 6' and 225 on a ~1800 foot lakes w/ 6 buoys (so I need a decent shot to get to speed). How much will the 428 OJ reduce RPM's from the stock 1868? and as a big guy, will the feel of ZO be better as well? I am looking at 422, 654 and 428. I am liking what I have read so far about the 428 and the success your reporting. Just looking for the the best application for my set up. Eric, if you have some helpful info on this please comment. I appreciate your knowledge you share!

@rico I called Paypal and they told me because it was 45 days after the order nothing could be done. Good info on the "online policy" I will be calling back talking to them about this policy. I hope it works as of now I'm out 137.00...

love us gear, been using one for 2 years now. I purchased another one 9 months ago; Paypal charged but no handle. I have called 15x plus numerous emails and not one reply. DO NOT waste your money, you may not ever see your purchase.

this sounds like something I will try! If this goes not work I may try the R-Style...I hope this this could be a easy fix. Thanks for the reply.

its common in pain mgt practices

@waternut I appreciate your reply; however, my radar RTP does not have laces, its just the plain rubber set up. Possibly may need to try a different style RTP. @Phil Great news on the modification, I will consider doing this along with @skialex idea of wrapping the bar with of foam. We still have aver a foot of ice so I will have some time to work with my issue. other ideas still welcome!!!

I have been using a reflex w/ a radar RTP for 3 years and really like this set up. This past yr I had to battle a split big toe all season because I would hit the hardware or back of the binding when I kicked in. Reading other post, I know there are some very innovative engineering minds on here. Any suggestions other than moving the RTP back a bit? I have tried moving it and i felt very uncomfortable on the ski once I moved it... Thx for the ideas!

@Skibug I have had a horrible time trying to reach Randy. He has collected my 136.00 back in Oct and no product has been delivered. I have tried calling (6-10 X) email 2-3 X and ZERO response. I purchased this via Paypal which I am out of the money due to the 45 day stipulation they have. how did you reach him, do you have another way to get in touch with him ETC??? If anyone know Randy, i would really like to connect with him. Much appreciated!!

Congrats on the new deal! See you in the spring! Dominic asks about you all the time..."when do we get to go ski with Mr. Brooks"

@Chuck_Dickey I tried calling the number on the US Gear website and "Mailbox Full" is the best I got. I sent an email from the website as well and nothing has come back. do you have a direct line for Randy? I would like to talk to him in person. @Horton @mlusa if I don't get anywhere with my order by next week I will be calling my CC and getting a reversal on my funds. I will order a custom handle from ML. Thanks for the info.

Hummm...I am still waiting for my handle that I ordered in late Sept this yr... I am losing patients I want it as I travel to the south for work and usually take my ski.

way to go!

@Wayne I inflate the airlock a little higher that 1/2 prop. As far as the rest of the underwater gear, i would have to say the skegs are not sitting in water. As the lift blows up the water runs out. I have never had a problem pulling the pug and water coming up. The customer service is great, Ken Moody is the man behind AirDock call and ask for him he is a good guy. I went with this set up due to my fluctuating water level and unstable bottom. AirDock can be used in any water condition with out any adjustments. I will try to find some more good pics and post them.
