@ErikBerghiller good to hear. I can’t help you with the new ski nautique. Not a fan to be honest. I am sticking with my 200.

Are you still on track for a spring launch given the covid 19 crisis?

Ski season is so close I can almost taste it.

 

@ErikBerghiller did anybody get back to you? I am shocked nobody stepped up here. If you still need the i do i can stop by my storage facility and get you the measurements.

Looks like snow skiing is done for the year.

Erik. When do you anticipate units being ready to ship?

Terrible news. Huge loss to the waterski community. Condolences to his family and friends.

@adamhcaldwell sent you a message via SIA

@thager i think these hydraulic lifts are much lower profile than the vertical ones. There are no aluminum posts sticking up above the water. So in theory the whole lift will be sitting on the bottom underneath the 24 inches of ice.

A few from the fall testing the new Vapor and some fin settings.

 

 

@thager the hydraulic boat lifts use environmentally friendly fluid so if there is a leak it’s not an issue. Some people have told me it’s vegetable oil but I am skeptical. I know that many people on warmer climates leave their hydraulic lifts in all year. The @theboardingschool has one for their Prostar that has been in for years as far as I know. I am not sure what brand they have but I should maybe ask Travis next time I am there.

Anybody here leave their hydraulic lift in the lake all winter? That’s my goal with this lift as it would be a couple of feet under the ice with the bunks all the way down. I hate putting my vertical lift in and out spring and fall.

I picked it up yesterday and it is a pretty heavy duty design. Feighner hydro max 2.

I will try it and see if it lifts the boat. I am pretty sure it will do it without issue.

 

I feel safer pushing am hydraulic lift to its capacity rather than a vertical cable design.

I have broken the cable on my vertical and it was pretty scary as the boat dropped two feet instantly and created a mini tsunami. No damage but darn shocking.

@Horton good thinking. I will look into that. I ended up buying it anyway. Winter deal i couldn’t pass up.

Hey

Would my Ski Nautique 200 be okay on a 3000 lbs hydraulic boat lift?

There’s a great deal on a used one close to me. I always wanted one to replace my vertical lift with a hydraulic one.

RIP Eddie. Condolences to his family and friends.

@TheBigHead I would be all over this had it been a medium. Shouldn't last too long.

Well I guess it’s going up on SIA.

Anybody looking to purchase a perfect 2020 Vapor pro 66 let me know. The price will be right.

@Ed_Johnson there have been a few Denali c75s on SIA in the past month or so. I figure maybe someone wants to try the Vapor. I love trying new skis!

It’s a 66.

Hey I just had a thought. Maybe somebody out there would be interested in trading their Denali C75 medium for a 2020 Radar Vapor pro build?

The Vapor has 10 sets on it. It also has clear dual loc if you use powershells.

 

I like the 2020 Vapor but prefer my 17 Vapor. Anybody out there tried the Denali but curious about the New Vapor?

Pm me if you are interested. Still have all the original packaging the Vapor came in.

 

Took the course and boat out on Saturday. It was a perfect ski day but nobody to drive.

Water was 50. Looking really cold by next weekend.

 

I got a chance to ski this rope in a few tournaments this summer and it was terrible. Felt like I was skiing on bungee cord. I don’t get it. Everybody was complaining.

Giver the juice Bruce...

Love this thing...

 

I think exhaust cats were introduced in 2011.
