  1. Kids will easily learn to barefoot on a boom. It takes years for them to learn the course on a slalom.
  2. Listening now. Love skiing and spending time with Becky. One of the best drivers and an even better person. Always look forward to seeing Becky when down in West Palm. My buddy Mike and I love to give her a hard time. She's fun
  3. I think he is using the term 1% too literally. Literally
  4. @chrislandy I found the driving experience just the total opposite between the two boats.
  5. I don't know what your idea involves with submersing the course, but keep in mind that buoys will still float deflated.
  6. My ski partner has a 14. Great boat. No issues.
  7. @shierjp It all depends on how you approach the person. Most people are reasonable if asked nicely and don't get upset when they refuse. On my lake all of the fishermen are from off the lake so I believe they like to be on good terms with the residents. Again there are exceptions. I usually let my ski partner do the talking. A true Irish smoosher - buttering up the fishermen before the ask. Plus he's 6-4.
  8. I agree with the statements on good relations with the neighbors and a level head when dealing with the unfriendly ones. While we have damage to the course from time to time (mainly over a busy weekend) we have been lucky. I think the biggest advantage we have had is that PWCs are not allowed on my lake.
  9. I can still remember when I went about putting the course in my lake. It was a hassle for sure. Mainly a couple neighbors that were against it. Well 30 years later it is still there. Totally worth the hassle.

    Zero off

    You could contact ZO directly. I'm sure they have encountered this problem in the past
  11. This gives me one more week to think about going over there to ski … or just give a donation and watch

    Ski Ropes

    My point as far as the money is that I assume you two are sharing your rope and just switching handles which is a lot cheaper than buying a second rope.

    I think unless your wife weights less than 90lbs you will be wasting your time and money. She will not see any benefit that I can see.
  14. Don't buy the plastic bunks. I had them on my trailer and the damage was worse. Just spray the liquid rollers on the carpet from the axel forward. But 100% on the roller.
  15. @Keith_Menard No the best thing the British engineered was Andy Mapple
  16. You can try to overnight it via FedEx or UPS. That is also a gamble
  17. My buddy owned one of those in high school. Fun car. Ran it into a tree. Sometimes I look back and think we are lucky to be alive with all the things we did in high school
  18. Have the new R-Style liner. Went back to the old one. Using duct tape to cover the holes

    The tower part may be hard to find.
  20. @Jody_Seal so I checked and it is a series 80 and I noticed that they tell you to check the fluid when it is cold. Does this mean to change it when cold also so you are not over filling?
  21. It’s a 2018 200 so I am almost positive it is a series 80. I’ll double check when home
  22. Done this so infrequent I need a little refresher. Is it as simple as extracting through the dipstick and refill with the same amount that came out?
  23. People may dislike Nate for whatever reason, but to say he is not the best slalom skier on the planet no matter what gender is just living in denial.
