I have been skiing with a 2 mm long sleeve camaro bought from Robby's great suit water temp

of 58 to 60 and still comfortable. Great service and communication when buying the suit. It is

amazing how something so light is so warm.

Skibrain great pic's I learned to ski off a very similar boat except we had a 1964 18 hp

Johnson looks like you had the Merc. We could get two kids up salom never tried three

thats awesome on a 20 hp.

First skied at 8 years old behind a 12 foot boat with a 18 hp Johnson. We would mow lawns

for $5 then go buy gas at .27 a gallon ski all day some times burning 18 gallons a day. Then when I was 12 they banned motor boats on the little pond we lived on, needless to say I was crushed. Maybe skied once a year after that since I did not know any one with a boat. My senior year in college at the spring boat show with out a full time job but one lined up after graduation I bought a a 17 foot Galaxy with a 145 hp I/O what a piece of junk would barely pull me up out of the water. About 6 years later I bought a new 1986 Nautique but still did not know what a ski course was. That fall 1986 I heard about a little place in Uxbridge MA that had a course and a guy giving lessons (Randy Youngsma) made the course at 30 mph first set and was hooked. Still had no idea how to set up a course even though I lived on a pond. That winter met new buddy who was a good skier with lots of time in the course that next spring we installed a course I was 31 years old now 57 and still addicted to those stupid little orange balls.

I have a double x large shorty that at 6'3" and

215 I barely get in but maybe it will give me the push

I need to lose 10 or 15 pounds.

Plymouth Ma area.

Agree with all the above I also have a long sleeve shorty

the water temp here is about 62 and the suit is fairly

comfortable little chilly on the bare lower legs but overall

real nice although it is real delicate like stated above.

The suit is super comfortable. Also received the suit real quick

from the Waterski girl.

I had to rebuild the dam on the old mill pond I live on. The pond was built about 200 years ago by damning up a river the pond is about 42 acres which is about 1,100,000 gallons per inch of surface water. I also have between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000 gallons of water flowing in and out of the pond per day depending on the season and rainfall amounts. I managed to lower the pond 10 feet using about 35 sections of 4" pipe I had to add more pipes as the pond went down because the drop decreased from around 18' to 8' as the pond went lower with the decrease in drop or head height the suction power of each pipe went way down. I used 4 inch schedule 40 electrical pipe (used for running underground cable) with bell ends that slide into each other and were glued together. The electrical pipe is a lot cheaper than plumber's grade P V C. I put a 4 inch clean out

at the top of each section and to start a section going I just had to cap the lower end fill the pipe

with water through the clean out once full close the clean out take of the lower cap and let the suctioning began. The only thing that would stop the process is if I sucked something up the pipe

and it became blocked. Just as a heads up I also tried using cheap drain pipe I think it was schedule

20 it was real cheap to buy and very easy to work with but after a couple week use the suction would collapse the pipe like a straw that is sucked on to hard.

With a perfect skier pass the skier has to travel about 20% farther than the boat. At 36mph the skier would have to avg

over 43 mph the top speeds would have to be much higher than 43 even with a pefect skier path.

problems.
