At least you got out there! Thats a major plus and a step to over come the mental part. @jipster43 I have heard that before, I really have been wanting to try a gluten free diet, the problem is, I'm mostly Italian, and we LOVE our wheat and dairy. Makes it so hard :/

@lcarnes awesome! I agree with @Wish 100%

I forgot you owned a 209 @aswinter05 - I also forgot that it is a 3 event cert boat. Thanks! That should help the OP a lot.

@The_Krista - I agree 100% with what you said and it was exactly the point I was trying to make. Thank you for all you do for our sport, I also pray your ankle heals quickly and you get back on the water good as new. Thanks again. @gregy - that's exactly what I thought would happen with the females about these photo's / marketing. Thanks for sharing! Like I said, these photo's of @The_Krista are everything we need for the sharing of our passion on the masses. Sexy, flattering, tasteful, stylish to the point that beautiful fit women love to ski as well. Thanks for posting your thoughts Krista.

@MS, don't know how you convinced @Mrs MS to say that, but well done! just kidding!

Not big on the full size tower but hey, not my boat. Have them replace the "9" on the prostar 209 decal (I'm a little OCD) and have fun with your family! That's a good looking boat, enjoy.

@Horton, the thread title may have been a joke but it really does bring up a good discussion that can remain (halfway) civil and pertain to the topic!

WOW! Great video! Thank you for posting!

@franciscolalas, just enjoy the time with your family, you can adjust your skiing a bit and make it work just fine for family day on the course. Why don't you post some pic's of the new PS209?

@MS, so true with the big spray!

I have heard that a 209 is not "all that bad" but it will be NO WHERE near what your 92 PS190 was, as stated, one of the best wakes of all time. I do believe there well still be a pronounced bump at 28 and nice lip of the crests. Just work on your form and ski through it. The most important thing is to get your family out on the water. (I would gather why you traded in the first place)

No

Personally, I feel that we need a little public advertising like the pictures of Krista with her ski, and the brand 69 Slam. Done correctly, like these posted above can be both sexy and flattering and can draw people of both genders into the sport one way or another. After all, while Krista Rogers is one VERY good looking girl, these photo's are nothing more then one would see at a tournament where a woman skier is getting ready for a set or whatever. I do, however, feel that sleazy/porn like ads (3/4 naked models crawling all over a car/boat with facial expressions like a porn star) do NOT have a place because we are trying to draw both men and women into the sport and not look like we are horny school kids or dirty old men. Sex sells, but only to one gender at a time. A fine line IMO and I believe the pictures that @Horton posted are on the good side of that line. I would have no problem showing these pictures and or TV ads to my other half or my mother to show a sport, ski, brand, whatever.

Thanks for the photo's!

Thanks for the photo's @Horton!

That's a worthy panda!

So sad to hear, my thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families. So tragic.

Thank you @Horton I noticed they were pretty darn close to the factory HO spec's for the 13 SL I posted above. Cannot wait to try it out!

@horton question for you, the fin settings on your review, is that factory settings or what you found worked best for you?

Thanks @aswinter05 I know I will love it. Does anyone know if the current fin/binding settings for the SL still hold for the 2010-2012 SL's?

HA! Sorry, no

a couple crappy cell pictures.

My new to me 2010 HO CoX SL came in from a seller on SIA. Looking forward to throwing some boots on there and hitting the lake. Seller stated it was used for a season, but he needed a 69 so he bought one. Looking at the ski, you can tell, not a mark, or rash on the deck or bottom except where the bindings were. (to be expected a little bit of rub). Now I need to get some @horton shorts to match the ski and I will be set!

I have a valve on my MC intake line before the trans cooler with a hose attachment. Works great!

heck, the sbf in my 91 MC idles at 40 even when hot. Has since new. 15W 50 Rotella with a zinc additive.
