    Roof Over Ski Lake?

    in News & Other Stuff

    Posted

    Contact Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. I'd propose a 160ft video wall for replay purposes at each end to watch during your drop. Retractable roof to allow natural solar heating when necessary. Beaches and cabanas providing a little Vegas - Rehab atmosphere. Some stadium seating with an extreme sound system to attract all walks of life. 900 million should cover it... no big deal!!! lol. Funny thing is... I've had this dream before and woke up laughing!

    Boat Wraps Installation Experience

    in Boat Talk

    Posted

    Thanks @ShaneH - I'd like to have a pro install shop do the work but the decision will be cost based. Terry has quite a bit of experience applying wraps but on smaller scales. But he has done difficult contours like motorcycle helmets and easier applications like slalom skis. Making sure the seams line up perfectly and the edges are securely taped is my big concern. I'm also worried about the boat rubbing on dock bumpers when we are at our lake site. Wondering if folks with wraps have had any problems with abrasions, color fade, etc.

     

    @Dirt - I did contact Robbie last year and found out the company that wraps their CPs each season. They are based out of Lodi and I'll definitely be in touch with them when the design is near complete.

     

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Boat Wraps Installation Experience

    T-Whisper is designing a really cool boat wrap for my 2000 MB-190. Curious if anyone has Vinyl boat wrap experience and care to share any do's and don'ts! From the YouTube videos I've watched - I'm tempted to install myself to cut down on costs. Currently the boat wrap design will just go from the rub rail down to the bottom edge but we are tempted to do the bow and top rails too. Appreciate any feedback! 90a83b5576466b358ba50d1807a41d.jpeg

    Eagle Pullover Vests - How Long Has Yours Held Up?

    in News & Other Stuff

    Posted

    Thanks Doug @Eagle1 for following up with Larry. I spoke with him on the phone. I was able to find the original purchase invoice from H2oProShop. I thought I bought the vest in 2011 but it was actually in July of last year. Looks like your team will re-stitch and send it back for $30 plus shipping so that's appreciated. Hopefully I can get another season out of it next year and I do appreciate the support! Cheers

    Eagle Pullover Vests - How Long Has Yours Held Up?

    in News & Other Stuff

    Used my Eagle pullover vest for a year and half and the zipper stitching (back zip) and armpit seams have come unraveled substantially. Contacted Eagle Sports and Larry Solomon stated that most of their pullover vests only hold up for a season or two even when properly cared for. It's disappointing to have to purchase $145 vests for a family of four every other year. I'm curious what your experiences have been with the products. Any recommendations for a different vest brand that will hold up longer than 18-24 months?

    How to respond to "good skiing" when it wasn't

    in News & Other Stuff

    Remember, most spectators do not know where your peak is nor your expectations but like others have stated - be appreciative that someone else thinks you skied good. It's not like you threw an interception on the last drive when down by 4... didn't strike out with bases loaded - down by one... didn't miss an open jumper as time expired. Not to mention you didn't have thousands of spectators cheering or booing your performance. Long story short... appreciate our sport but realize -- it's not that big of deal if you don't ski to your potential on any given set or round.

    D3 ski upgrade - which one?

    @Ali @Waternut - Terry's email is: t e r r y w i n t e r 1 @ m a c . c o m. Cost will be dependent on design tme/complexity but plan on something between $100 - $150. Mine ran in the middle of that range but I didn't need shipping since we live in the same area.

     

    On the wing question - I'd say without wing initially then after 10-12 sets - give it a try to feel the difference. Most on the forum I think would agree that the skier should first feel the ski and know where you need to be on it to slow it down when sking at speeds less than 34mph.

    I have seen the 2014 MasterCraft

    Waterski Mag Photos - Sorry if redundant to another post

     

    MasterCraft was the first company to introduce the pickle-fork bow to the inboard world in 2003 with the X-Star. For 2014, they do it with the ProStar and up the ante with the first open and closed bow boat all-in-one. The fiberglass bow can easily be removed depending on your needs.

    Beauty on the water, the new ProStar has a distinct look that instantly grabs your attention.

    Ilmor's new 6.2 liter engine is the upgraded power plant of the ProStar and was built specifically for the high demands of the world's best jumpers. MasterCraft says slalom skiers will lean more toward their 5.7 liter engine.

    Pro driver Will Bush's input into the ProStar's helm was crucial in creating a world-class space to give the driver the best opportunity to provide the best pull possible. We really like the reclining captain's chair and the way the boat tracks razor tight through the course.

    An ergonomically designed observer's seat comfortably accommodates three passengers and half of the seat folds down for easy access to the bow.

    Simple, functional ski racks keep your skis safe and out of way on each side of the boat.

    You almost don't even have to ski it to believe because this photo alone says a ton about the world-class ski-ability of the new ProStar. Pancake flat, no trough, and extremely soft wakes are what you get. We tested a full range of rope lengths from 15 to 39 1/2 off, and the wakes are consistently world-class for beginners and experts alike.
