Is an open bow a requirement for you? It seems that way reading your post...how many people are usually with you each time you get on the water?

So it's not a skiing picture but it's a step towards the addiction :smile:

We had 6 month pics done of our boy Brooks a couple weeks back. Looks like I'll be starting him out RFF based on his grip in the coming years!

I have 8.004. I asked PP last year if there was anything newer and they said 8.006 was current but didn't necessarily say it would make that much of a difference to update it when I asked...

"We added the ability to switch over to the "simple slalom" mode available in the Wake Edition system, and made it a bit easier to move around between the various slalom modes. But there were no technical changes as far as the functionality of how the GPS Slalom mode works.

My dad always joked that the neighbors were going to call Child Protection Services on him each spring we got out skiing early after ice out.

I hear ya @MS - I swear we had 50-60's for weeks until ice out, then mostly crap since then. Spring just playing games with us (like usual)

Not much info here but might be worth inquiring about...

Pretty light year for me ski gear wise - probably a new set of Vapor BOA gloves and I might try a RTP this year vs. a double boot setup that I'm on now for fun

I'm putting a motor on my lift too - can't wait!

Are you set on a V-drive or are you able to make a direct drive work? How many bodies do you plan to have in the boat at a time?

For you guys running a rear toe plate - are you able to mount it to the Radar sequence plate? Or do you mount the front boot + RTP separately?

Take a look here...nice little history write up..

"The 1991-1994 MasterCraft ProStar 190 was 19’5” long, 85” wide, weighted about 2,450 lbs"

Can't help you with the trailer part though. I think a safe assumption would be 1k lbs. There might be a sticker towards the tongue that states this (if it's still legible).

Nice work! You picked a great day to finish the season off.

It was great to meet and see you guys out at New Germany with Jack a few times. Here's to many more next year!

@Orlando76 - my wife and I are currently expecting as well (baby is due today actually!) I've got this thread bookmarked for some ideas...

Looking forward to skiing next year with him/her riding shotgun.

Not sure if you've seen this thread on Teamtalk but this guy may be able to give you some tips and lessons learned on the conversion if you decide to go that route...

Interested to hear how the boat skis with it!

Got out for a set this weekend and was able to get some still shots free skiing. I generally free ski at 28 off, and in the course I dabble at 15-22off.

Self critique - I think my stack is ok after the turn and up until the first wake but I need to hold my position just a tad longer as I'm losing angle/position and catching a little air after the 2nd wake. Handle could be a little bit lower/closer to my hips too

Any thoughts/tips/suggestions?

Here's a mix of some of the good and bad...
