boat is listed on ski-it-again, its really in excellent condition. While suttle changes were made in 97-99, its not that much better unless your skiing 35' and better. The 02's were significantly imporved in dashboard, electronic ign etc, But for the older yrs, the 96 was a proven hull, I can ski 32' behind it no problem, tracking is good, and with it being well maintained, its a turn key sale You can even come out and test drive and ski behind it on our private site. A couple grand here and there wont change anything, but start having to repair seat cushions, gear boxs. This boat has low hrs, garaged, PP, stargazer etc

Hey. I have a good ski pal that is interested in letting go of his '96 natique. Very nice boat, super clean. Has everything you need, shower, heater, PP. tandem trailer. Its blue/tan/white. A soft wake, No mechanical issues here. New sterring cable. approx 700 hrs I ski behind it frequently and can attest. We are up in Redding, ca. Asking price is $14K

i live in redding, water temps right now are high 60's, air temp 75-85' By mid November you will be looking at water temps in mid to low 60's air temp 70's I prefer the dry suit. If the boat has a shower, you could warm up that wet suit though and be comfortable. Pit arm is typically the best, but you find nice water anywhere. Easiest I5 acesss on/off is bridge bay or packers bay, then head west towards the dam . Jones valley is great, a little more difficult to get to, Holiday harbor is near Packers, but more for the houseboaters, then the lets launch a boat and ski for the day. Pit arm is best skiing, enjoy.

You can call O'neil direct @ 1-831-475-7500. They have a repair place in national City, ca ( san diego area) You box up the suit and include Name, return address, 2. phone #, 3. product description and 4, requested action mail to: O'Neil attn: repair dept. 1022 Bay Marina Dr, suite 140B. National City Ca 91950. Probably take 4-6 weeks depending on the time of season. They will leak test the suit afterwards and call you with a cost. Just had mine done. Neck seal and both wrist seals done, reglued all seams, $30.

labrum repair is more involved then cuff repair. Im a PT and see atleast 1/2 a dozen new shoulders a week. There is a specific protocol you need to follow, and your MD should be advising the PT when rehab starts as to when to initiate resisted ex, vs passive ex and stretching. Part of the bicep attaches onto the labrum, so be careful with pulling/lifitng for 3-4 mos. Let it heal and avoid abduction + External rotation combined movements

i feel the cold water keeps the ski riding high and faster then the other seasons. Water temp has changed at least 30' so something is different. I have the angle , but not the pressure to push and drive the ski forward if it gets behind . I run 9' wing angle, so more wing might be too much, thinking run deeper fin or push the tail back. Or ... stop chasing bouys and work on form at slower speeds.

anyone have any suggestions in running different fin setttings in cold water. Right now Im skiing 48'-52' water and running stock settings on a Goode 9800?
