Thanks Ed, problem is we're sitting in roughly 60 feet of water at one end of the course, on top of that we have to pull the buoys every Saturday. I may suck it up and put legit 55's on the mainline at the end of the season, but for now I'll probably continue bad news bears style.
Ed did hook me up, I have an EZ Slalom course, but it's in my garage and I can't put it up. I live on a lake that joins to another through a small channel. The semi permanent course above is on the other lake. The DNR claims that both lakes classify as 1 body of water and won't grant us a second permit for the EZ course to go on my lake (one course per lake). But you bring up a good point, maybe we'll just put it at the end of the other course and go 12 balls.
