Mold it

I start at stock. On occasion I change the settings, but found more than half the time stock works for me.

@mike_mapple I bet you could easily write a book about your dad and his way of doing things. It would be on every Baller's coffee table.

I have had this on my trailer. I found that it did more damage than with carpet. Very slick for sure but took of the gel coat quicker than carpet. Liquid Rollers sprayed on the carpet works just as well and less damage. Unfortunately I have a SN 200 and there isn't a trailer out there that doesn't damage that hull.

That's a nice looking boat.

@drew My first thought watching him ski is he skis like his father.

Gee those don't look like Fogmans

Unfortunately Masterline is all out of right foot liners. They are the same thing as the old black ones. For now I will continue to duct tape my old black one.

@richfoster I just looked that up on the Masterline site and that is what I'm looking for. Thank you. I will also buy 2

Right foot, but the wrong size. I would need a liner for a size 11.

I had to replace the original liner for the R Style late last season. The new one from Reflex is too thin. Does anyone have a option that is closer to the original liners? Maybe a cut down Intuition liner?

A couple years ago I started using the Masterline due to the fact that is what is used most often in tournaments. That being said, InTow makes a great rope. Use InTow handles.

Could you use it then use 303 over it? I do love the protection you get with 303

@Than_Bogan at that price you should buy it as a back up

@Horton Do you map the course similarly to ZO? And is it a permanent record for future survey purposes?

Be patient. I'm sure the 2000-2010 market will come down to reality when they are not selling and they want to move onto their next boat. Three years ago I sold my mint 2009 SN196 in the high 20s, because that is what it was going for then.

With D3's demo program it is easy to find out what fits for you. They sent me the EVO S and the NRG R1 last year. After skiing on both I found the NRG clearly suits my style. For others I know that it was just the opposite. SO if you are interested try them both.

We use a Styrofoam buoy as our sub buoys that may work for you. They have not deteriorated in nearly 20 years that we have used them. We use to use a boat bumper style buoy and those lasted 10-12 years. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/american-blue-claw-round-float

Nice color

Higher the speed the more it is affected by small increments? Magnification. At a slower speed the movements are not effective. And by slower speeds I don't mean 30 vs. 34 or 36 mph. I mean 10 - 15 mph. I don't know I bury people for a living.

Make sure the X7 has the same prop as the 197 Prostar. They propped them for all around towing. Not a great wake with the factory prop for that boat.

Also if you are careful it is reusable

If there is a Master Craft dealer near by I would check to see if they would sell you a factory travel cover. It is a shrink wrap cover with felt inside. Did this with my Nautique a couple years ago when it got shipped up to me from Florida. Worked great.

@lpskier Now that's a boat house!

I have a course that I use often without the 55s. You line up the right gate with the 5 ball for timing. I do have 55s that I take in and out (there is a sub buoy that I clip to) with each use when I can. As @Horton said it is a lot better with the 55s for timing. My reason for not leaving them in is the same as yours - the neighbors do not want us to extend the course any longer than it originally was installed before there were 55s. The times I ski without the 55s are when I don't have time to put them in (5 minutes) or when it is too cold to do so. Hopefully you can do as we did and install them and take them out when not using.
