    Ski Nautique 200 and Boatmate Pro Trailer - Best Ramp Angle?

    in Boat Talk

    Posted

    I had received this fix which was originally intended to fix similar issues with the 2019 Ski Nautique. They said to give it a shot. The bolted on version hit the front tracking fin. I took it to a local welder with lots of knowledge and had him weld it permanently.

    I try to put it in the water so only a few inches of the front bunks are out of the water. If you can.

    I have the roller lifting the chine about 3/4 off the bunk when sitting level

    I also used some shims to manipulate the bunk high in different places. Let me know and I can get into specifics on that. Nothing is perfect but two years later and all is still good

    I’m just glad that @Horton did put this out there as other skier’s issues have been put out on this forum. No matter what opinions or side he or other members might be on. What was fair game for one well known skier’s issue should be fair game for other well known skier’s issues on this forum. Thanks @Horton for keeping it fair.

    Is ski binding divided by skill level like ski device?

    All types of bindings are used at all the skill levels. Nate Smith, The world record holder, uses rubber bindings. There are a lot of pros that use the boots as you refer and a great deal that use the hardshells. Speed and or skill does not matter as to which one. It is what works for you. Now there are better versions of the rubber (i.e. the D3Tfactors and others). The biggest thing with the hardshells as @Horton was saying is to make sure you have them properly set up for you (if possible by someone in the know). If you don't this is where injuries occur.

    @Horton So far stock numbers? I am very interested in this ski, but I'm not a tweaker and don't have a lot of extra time to sort the ski out. All indications was that the c75 was a ski that needed to be tweaked a lot. Also I was told the c75 was a lot of work in the course.
