  1. @Wish it was nice to meet you! @The_Krista sorry I missed you . I went by the booth a couple times no one was aroind. Sorry I missed you @MattP. Side note, Nate is a damn good guy, loves yhe sport and likes to talk to fans!
  2. I will be wearing a tan MasterCraft T-shirt w/ sponsors on the back and a White hat. If you see me, yell! Would be nice putting some faces with the screen names. See you all there.
  3. I will definitely stop by @The_Krista ! Looking forward to it and meeting some of you!
  4. very good looking 200 there! Hope you run into other ballers there!
  5. Just wanted to see what ballers will be at the Watersports Fest in Orlando this weekend? I will be there, along with one of my ski buds!
  6. Never ends, fall and winter normally have the best conditions on our lake so we are out. Last year and the year before, I used my boat and had more sets between Nov and Jan then I did all year.
  7. I tried that once on our lake in FL. its a large lake and the slightest breeze with whip the lake with 1 foot+ white caps quick. Many boats have been swamped by the sudden wind that whips the lake. It beat the hell out of the boat, me and the driver as well as swamping the boat while waiting for my trailer to be backed in. Drain plug and bilge pump were working together to drain the water that occurred in less then 3 minutes. No thank you! If the lake is not glass, the boat stays in the garage and I whine while having some Crown.
  8. @ToddL I understood the gist of what you were saying, so you do not suck completely at writing. lol. I always offer cash or gas if I go out on another boat, whether it be for a set or a ride.
  9. @marcusbrown, very well said. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I believe I am learning more in the 2 videos you have made then I have in 4 years. Also, hope you can make it to the Extreme Watersports Fest in Orlando coming up. Hope you meet you in person!
  10. They are looking for input at anytime. As @Horton said, Todd is a great guy, and tries very hard to promote the sport. Not to mention a pretty damn good skier.
  11. @scotchipman , that is correct, at least for me. Also correct, not a fair comparison. I have no experience with the ACME 3 blade designs. I do have a buddy who has the same boat as me with a ACME 4 blade, and to me there is NO difference between my 4 blade. (ACME did not have a 3 blade for the boat at the time). Eric from OJ recommended the CNC 454 prop for me over the other props he has for that boat so that is what I got. He has found, with his current blade designs, that the 4 blades performed better over all on that gear reduction trans on that hull design. All I know is it delivered exactly what he promised. They are two very different designs when you compare them, I'm sure that's the reason for the differences between 4 blade, to 3 blade between the two manufactures. The main reason I chose OJ is because dealing with Eric was one of the best experiences from a personable and CS standpoint. To the point of carrying on personal convo's at times. Bill was nice on the phone, but in the end, I felt the CS and technical help was a bit better with OJ. Eric, not once, for me anyway, asked me to buy the prop no matter how many silly and redundant questions I asked with numerous phone calls. One day I will like to try the new 3 blade ACME that Bill has for the 1.52 Powerslot boats, but for right now I am completely happy with my current prop. I am not saying that a 4 blade is better then a 3 blade and one company is better then the other, I am just sharing my experiences with a certain prop, from a certain company on my particular boat. That and I am very loyal to great CS. Eric has called me or texted me a few times to make sure I still like the prop and even seeing how I was doing when I was going through a pretty bad rough patch a few years ago. Just an all around great guy. As far as product comparison, I feel its like Ford-Chevy, SN-MC. Both have ups and downs, take the best for what you personally want. I always tell people that I prefer OJ for the reasons listed, but I also want people to call ACME and OJ and speak with Bill and Eric and chose what fits you best. P.S. Sorry for the long winded replay, I just hope it may help someone at sometime.
  12. I completely agree @SkiJay. Nothing compares to a nice run down the river surrounded by mountains where I'm from in WV. Beautiful place in that video BTW!
  13. I am going to say racing. Same adrenaline rush as a good pass on the water, just one is much more physical and harder to advance lol.
  14. Good looking boat! Good luck with the sale. Why you selling? New boat for next season?
  15. @ALPJr the same exact here. 150 rpm drop, lower bump and softer to cross, much better holeshot, better fuel economy and holding speed. What did it do to your top end? I actually gained 1 mph with the new cnc 4 blade vs the stock 3 blade, and my original 14x18 stainless 3 blade was in perfect condition.
  16. I have a 4 blade OJ cnc 13.7 x 17.5 on my 1.52 powerslot as recommended by Eric from OJ. It improved my holeshot, holding speed, top end by 1mph, lowered rpm at skiing speed and lowered the bump. Eric told me that gear reduction usually perform best with 4 blades.
  17. Looking forward to it! @Wish, do you know which part of the lake it will be on? Wanting to google map it in my phone so I have it saved. Also, does anyone know if @Marcus Brown will be skiing?
  18. @swc5150 I'm sorry, I definitely read that wrong. I did think you were speaking of the SN200. I apologize. Is there a feeling like a fool font?
  19. @swc5150 I would hope that the SN200 would be better build quality then a boat that's possibly 20 years older. I have a friend who has a 96 SN and I say the build quality is the same between my showroom 91MC and his showroom 96CC. To the OP, I would go with which ever has the best condition for the price. You cannot go wrong with either. 91-94 MC PS190's and the 97-2003 SN196's are some of the best out there. As stated before, 94 all MC were standard EFI. In 93 the LT1 was an option for the EFI. Also, if you find a 95-97 MC PS190 for sale, do not count those out, still phenomenal boats and wakes.
  20. My lake is fairly large at 9,212 acres, so not much concern with the Wake boats. But there is a 3 foot deep spot that is too shallow for many people to attempt its also the most protected part so the water is generally pretty good. That is where we ski. The problem was until recently with all the rain, the ramp was out of the water and I could not get my boat in the water for almost 2 years.
