I'll be there.

Nice Lake. Nice Pad. Nice Sled. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904199404576538274138349768.html?mod=WSJ_hps_sections_realestate

Down the street from you. ;) I will stop by for a tutorial one day. Yesterday it felt like it was rengaging immediately after I backed off the throttle for the turn. On previous days, it would disengage after I reduced the throttle for a turn. It was acting different yesterday. It was probably user error.

I have the factory installed PP on at 2004 mastercraft. How do you disengage the speed control when you are turning the boat around to head back through the course? How do you re-engage the speed control while at speed? The unit keeps asking me if the boat is in neutral.

I have had ear problems all my life. When I skied all the time in college, I used molded ear plugs from ENT. The best over the counter ear plug is silly putty. No Joke. That stuff works awesome. If someone can recommend a good head band I will buy one. If so, I will be rolling napoleon dynamite style.

Hoist shingled treated wood Just trying to get an idea if I am looking at ten, twenty or thirty grand.

Can any of you private lake guys give me an idea of the turnkey cost of a boat house that is set with posts (not floating)? The specs. are as follows: 1) 22 x 35 2) covered 3) boat lift I am just trying to get a rough idea as to the cost of this. This project will be in Texas. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will consider all options. I like the fact that you all are suggestion older boats instead of newer boats. http://www.ballofspray.com/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif

Okay I hate to start this discussion, but i need y'alls help. I am about to buy a comp boat to run on a private lake. I ski, wife wakeboards, and my three kids will probably want to wakeboard. Do you all think a 2006-2009 sn 196 would provide a decent wakeboard wake if we added a little ballast? I want to be able to ski, yet have a decent (not pro level) wake for the wake boarders. If the sn 196 is not the answer, then what is? I understand the the sport nautique 200 is supposed to be the answer, but that is too rich for my blood. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments.
