It’s a great training tool.  I look forward to auto pilot where I can choose a Will Bush or Becky Lathrop ride! Then the ability to add some weave to work on the harder passes.  Actual, +10, +20 etc.  then tighten it up to actuals.  For now, ease of use has some quirks.  The phone battery went bad after a couple months, SP was great and sent me another phone!  But several of us tried, and we could never get the map transferred over.  We have one base station in the middle of three lakes.  Transferring maps tho, should be Apple easy.  We finally gave up and went back to old school with some expensive hardware just sitting in the boat. Bring on the autopilot!

Ordered 2 and they’re on the way! Love that I don’t have to add to my red and orange pile in the garage AND don’t have to pay the full price like ML. Great service!

I’ve been out of town for two weeks this past month, the reason it’s low. But! It factors in my PUD rates, and the average price per gallon in my area. My 2014 Model S with 160k miles has been the best car I’ve ever owned. I think an electric ski nautique on a private lake makes a lotta sense. Then throw some solar panels on the boat house ?

 

A+ TWBC! Great coverage, video and commentary. ?????

Greg is a really good skier! Sebastian would only go if his dad skied in the same grass roots division, nice job dad! Plus, Sebastian is also a professional golf cart driver ???

Bring the fam down to ski paradise for 6 days of skiing with Adam and Adam! March 5th -12th 2022. Great way to build a new platform for the upcoming season ????

Had mine done in Feb, amazing experience! I had a bad astigmatism in my left eye my whole life. I ended up losing several pairs of prescription goggles, gave up on those. Everything now is 4K HD, so happy i did it! Here’s the guy that did mine in Vancouver Wa. He has all the latest technology equipment and has done over 75000 procedures. He offers a $400 referral discount, just use my name. https://www.willvision.com/

Eclipse direct drive and Eclipse Vdrive are all glass. They also have a V that goes all the way to the transom, nice ride in rough water and small soft wakes. Hope that helps ???

I sold both for years, both good quality boats that used the “green” lifetime treated wood and fiberglass wrapped. Open lake/rough water, hands down the Sanger. The centurion xp be will have a softer wake, but put some people in the bow and they can get soaked on a rough day. Double check for saltwater use(harsh on the engine and trailer). Then be sure to drive the boat. Should have smooth power, tranny smooth shifting and quiet, no crazy vibrations from the prop. Good luck in your search! ??

Left hip, wonder if rff means anything?

If you have a local pro shop, many shops will offer a performance guarantee, if you try it and you don’t like it, many will upgrade you to another one for the difference. Disclosure, make sure the ski still looks like new if you bring it back and follow their rules. Good luck!

Yep! Great way to lock in something stubborn I’m trying to make into a new habit. Mike Suyderhoud got me hooked on it ???

Mikey’s got too many fingers!

Love this stuff, super quick and easy, uv protection and great gloss. We’ll spray it on once per month or so. ???? 303 Marine Speed Detailer - Instantly Shines And Protects - UV Protection - Protects Against Fading - Removes Dust, Dirt, And Smudges, 32 fl. oz.

I used to like the smaller handles, Greg Badal suggested I try a larger handle. Went with a larger 1.062 bent ml handle. Easier on the hands, elbow pain gone. Plus I don’t go through gloves as often. Go figure! Two thumbs up ????

Rip Art, one of my favorite guys to talk with skiing in NorCal, always something funny to say ?

My gf and I lost our virginity! ? Lake berryessa, napa valley. Dad co-signed for my first boat in my senior year in high school. ????

What tha!

 

Fixed! Geez, tough crowd ? I was getting yelled at by a flight attendant telling me to turn my phone off! ?

Adam Cord at Ski Paradise??!! Adam is coaching March 5th-12th, 2022! 6 days of skiing with Adam, get your Denali fully dialed in, and he’s a great coach! Call Gloria at ski paradise today (407) 754-4111 this week will fill up fast ???. United has a direct flight out of Houston to Acapulco that makes it really easy. Tip, sometimes you’ll need to fly into Houston Friday, spend the night at the Houston airport Marriott, then fly into ACA the next morning. Another relaxing option. ????

Just took the course, it’s 95% common sense, 5% insight into how pervs operate and what to look out for. It’s more like 2 hours for all modules because you have to wait for the lengthy video to play, when you can read each transcript in about 5 mins max. Training videos like these are really annoying. They always seems to get the slooowwwest talkers, like we’re reading lips or something. The average person can read 3-4 times faster than a person talks. Add a slow talker to it makes it even worse. My .02, if they let someone like Horton do it it would be done in 40 mins!

McCormicks for sure! The lake skis really good. Michael’s a great coach too.

G&T vinyls makes most of the upholstery these days. They have recommended 303 with UV protectant for over 25 years. I use Babes for cleanup then 303 again, apply monthly. I’ve seen upholstery with 25 years on it that still looks new from regular 303 use. That’s good enough for me! With 20 years of selling ski boats, I’ve also seen what happens long term with using 409, simple green, armor all. No bueno! You’re replacing upholstery sooner than later. 303 quick wax works great on the gelcoat and also provides UV protection. Hope that helps!

When you take a tour through a modern boat factory, all you see are big dollars. The overhead with labor is insane. I remember in 1993 when a loaded ski Nautique was $24900, thought I’d never sell another one! Like John said, there’s a used boat for every budget.

Roger Teeter and Dan Miller created Winlock Waters 3 ski lake site in Washington. Roger also has a home on lake 1. Great guy, still skiing!
