@Gloersen hope you are right seems like we have been real close to new battery technology before that never ends up happening.

@Chef23 First place I ever skied a course 32 years ago this fall. Randy Youngsma (RIP) use to have a part time ski school there. Real short site only about 1600 feet if I measured the right pond on google earth. I bet @Edbrazil has worked on the course there they had regionals or nationals there at one point. The former owner sold it and I do not think they ski there anymore.

@Chef23 Mark you must have skied at the place in Uxbridge I think it was called Fishers Folley I tried to google earth it I think it is marked as Lee pond now. Real short with a old railroad trestle right at the end.

You need a bigger hammer .

When the good boating weather is here you will not be boating instead you will be dealing with other boaters problems on their boats.

In Mass any pond over 10 acres is considered a "Great pond/lake" and you can only own to the waters edge if you live on it. Sounds like NH has the same law. With that being said the pond I own is 42 acres but is man made, it is a old Mill pond made over 200 years ago for powering many different mills over the years. I am able to own the pond because it is man made the original owners owned the land before it was turned into a pond (by damming up the river that ran through it) after the pond was created they still owned the land underneath and that is the title I have. The original owners also had riparian rights that went up and down the river one mile each way. You would own the land you are flooding and I would think you would still own it after the fact.

The office

Fin from the bottom of my Nautique that a buddy ran into a rock probably no good any way but could not find it. Thick prescription glass's had to wear prescription sun glasss's the rest of vacation day and night.

He can try any ski he wants out of Hortons garage.

How about a Price?

One of the biggest problems is how much time it takes to ski and the fact only one person can ski at a time. Most all day ski events limit 3 round tournaments to 30 skiers, and it takes all day to get everyone in. For a good practice set it takes at least 20 mins per skier not leaving much time to ski after work and before dark. On the other hand take a sport like hockey you can have good game with 20 people (22 counting goalies) and be done in one hour.

Agree with liquid d if you are into boats you should go to the Miami and or Ft Lauderdale show at least once in your life. The boats are incredible as are the models they hire to be part of the display. The in the water parts of the show have boats over 100 feet.

I hate wakeboard boats but glad to see they caught the sleaze bags who stole them.

I remember reading somewhere that velcro was made up with a series of little hooks and that is why it sticks together. I was having problems with my new 41 tails velcro coming undone and found that if i pulled on same sideways they stick much better it probably is making the hooks connect together.

I am not a fan of any of the fantasy leagues and have never played them but i think it is great @JeffSurdej is thinking up these ideas to help promote the sport. Jeff seems to be very open to trying new ideas and willing to change things that might not be working. I think he is doing a great job and with some time will really help the sport and AWSA.

I used to go up to Winnipesauke for a month every summer. Always with a ski boat in tow three different Nautiques and a Malibu lxi. Any true ski boat will beat the hell out of you if you try pounding through the open water. Maney will also take water over the bow if you do not power the bow up while heading into big waves. That being said you should be fine with a little care. The early 90's Nautiques rode way better than the 1986 I had but even the 1986 got me around the lake fine I but 40 hours running time on it in 6 days most of that was running back and forth from Cow Island to the course in back bay in Wolfboro look at a map thats a lot of open water. I never felt in danger but the ride would beat you up with rough water if you did not slow way down. I would not hesitate to have a direct drive as a primary boat on Winni if skiing is a priority. For general cruising a I/O with a good V hull will be better but a crappy boat for skiing. Also just thought of a buddy who regularly goes from Alton Bay to Wolfboro to ski. Hope this helps good luck with your boat hunting.

I thought you were going to post a picture of his new Mastercraft.

@Horton using Einstein and @MS in the same sentence Horton must have started drinking early for the 4th.

@ALPJr Int is coming back to NE this year.

Make that did not have tourneys the last couple of years.

@"Keith Menard" INT did not have New England Tourney's but they are trying again this year hope to see you then.

Has Dave signed him yet?

Not sure where you are but the price on the Malibu seems high I sold a 2005 LXI in MA last year for 18,000 in good shape with a good trailer. Not sure on the price of the 206.

@mopowpow I don't think it was just the boat turning heads!!!

I guess Dave Goode has never heard of the "Mall effect". This country is built on competition. How many people would go to the big new car shows if only one brand was allowed to display their cars?
