  1. @buoyboy1 how much was it to get it converted? Quite a process or fairly simple?
  2. @bananaron I need compatible with ZO, 07 was the first year that can be flashed. @foxriverat thanks for your answer, that boat might be sold this weekend. I have been talking to the owner.
  3. Looking for a 196 in a good condition 2008-2009 with under 800 hours. Just wondering if someone is planning on selling one in the near future or know of someone that might be selling and has not listed yet? Thanks!
  4. I have used synvics for years and it was helping a bunch. I talked to surgeons that are close friends and they have not had good experience so far with stem cells.
  5. @jhughes I measure the GTR with the slot. The length always tips so I can't tell you. But we measured DFT a few times with slot and analog caliper and there is quite a bit of difference. Usually .775 measured with slot is close to about .755 with flat. I have tried a few different calipers at the lake and this different was pretty consistent.
  6. Hey guys, I will be coming up to DC for work and I am wondering if anyone knows about any lakes in the area or within 5 hrs or so. I might be spending the weekend of June 28th-30th. I talked to Corey, but they are gone for a tournament that weekend. Thank you,
  7. @scotchipman on the GT/GTR I found it to be about 0.15 difference and when I talk DTF I always use flat numbers. I'm not sure if there is a real conversion. Ddt I mentioned 0.76 was 0.775 with my slot. The official numbers are with flat so I always convert not to confuse anyone.
  8. @kc i would start with the numbers posted. I personally like the fin a bit further forward on the GT and GTR. I personally liked the ski short/deep at 6.86 2.495 0.76 the most. I ride the ski on the long/shallow side of the spectrum with some minor tweaks. My depth is 2.462. @Deanoski yes, the depth ads grip but when you take the length out you are not adding any fin area. It's really a personal preference. The ski has more grip even with 2.456 depth. @ALPJr this is the most consistent ski I have ridden for sure skiing on waters 50-90 degrees. I used to live in Louisiana and always struggled with cold waters. I have lived in Utah for the past three years, and this is the first ski that I don't touch the fin when the water drops in the fall or spring. Feels very balanced and I don't feel like there is a need for changing the fin.
  9. Hey guys, I apologize for the delay. This real life thing has been keeping me busy. Let me try to explain the grip in a different way (hopefully will make more sense). By "grip" I mean the traction and the "connection" between the ski and the water. Let's compare it to skiing on warmer or cold water. 90 degree water always creates more "connection", while the ski on the 50 degree water feels "loose". Too much or too little connection does not work, there has to be a balance. Let's compare to standing on the ice vs concrete. If you stand on the ice, you can slide around easily, but if you want to take off, you don't have the "grip". You can take off on the concrete a lot faster, but you can't slide around at all if needed. The ski needs some slide to be able to turn and finish the turn. The grip translates into the connection with the water. If the ski is too loose (not enough grip), you can't find the connection out of the turn to be able to load the ski to create the angle and speed needed. Too much grip results in the ski being "stuck". Every ski needs a balance of grip and slide. Connection with the water also results in a very safe feeling and consistency. Now let's make it simple again. The GT was great, but I thought the nose of the ski was slightly too connected vs the tail of the ski that was a bit "loose" (not enough connection). As mentioned earlier, when this balance is achieved, you can load the ski effortlessly right out of the buoy. You end up being in a strong position which allows you to create lots of angle which gets you to the other side a lot quicker. You end up being earlier with a tight line. The GTR is very well balanced. This is the only ski I have ever skied on that worked on 90 or 55 degree water without a change in set up. I personally felt the balance the very first set on the new ski. The GTR is pretty incredible and definitely worth a try. Hopefully I did not confuse you guys more. If I did, please ask more questions and I will do my best to answer. Martin
  10. The GTR is awesome! If you liked the GT, you will love the GTR. And if you have not tried one yet, you need to!
  11. Hey guys, I am a 36mph skier and been on Rev6 ever since the very first skis came out early this spring. I know the skis well and though I would share some settings that people like. There are three different settings worth a try. One is as mentioned here stock 6.865 2.475 and dft somewhere 0.71-0.73 depending on the person. That's seems to work great for Greg. I have skied all the sizes, right now I am on 66.5. I personally like 6.84 2.485 0.72 the most right now on my ski. It seems like these numbers work better on smaller skis. Many girls liked these numbers more on 65.75 and I have heard positive feedback on 66.5 too with those numbers. There is also a number of people that ride 6.765 2.495 and dft further forward. When I have a tech call at Goode saying that the stock does not work, I give them these numbers to try and I received a few calls back saying that works much better. So again, it depends on the skiers, and it worth trying these numbers to see what works the best. Greg loves long and shallow on his 67. I personally ride the wing at 9 degrees. Rev6s are amazing and definitely worth a try. Feel similar to Nano One, but much faster and not as sticky in the turns. I love mine.
  12. It takes time which I don't have right now! Maybe in off season!
  13. Hey guys, Does anyone have a flex test down in south Louisiana or around Houston area I could use for one ski? It is pretty urgent and I don't have one. I would even consider buying one if anyone knows about one for sale. Thank you!
  14. The issue were the bolts that go through the bottom of the boat. I agree those should not be loose after one summer of skiing. Hopefully they will stay tight for a while now.
  15. I have not. It moves the very first set right after we tight it up.
  16. Guys, we just got a ProStar with 300 hrs on it. Pylon was moving from set 1. Tightened it up twice already (all 4 bolts) and it is still moving 2-3 inches all the way around. Any advice on how to make this stop? Thank you.
  17. Thanks guys. I did send a message to Nate but no answer. I know what to do with the fin, but when I take a new ski I have never tried before I need some numbers to start with when factory was not working at all. Thank you @jdarwin for helping me out!
  18. Hey guys, I got on x7 today and put it on Factory setting from d3 website but it felt horrible. Does anyone have any numbers that work on that ski? I am 36mph skier and run 39 off. Thanks!
