My bff's sister put the course up by the dam on the spokane river, I believe it is back to back so you can make two passes in each direction. I dont know where you would launch but other than her, she doesnt think it gets used much.

I agree with tstat and or impeller.

There is a course set up on Anderson lake up the CDA river right next to Harrison. You can launch from Spokane Pt. and be on the course in 10 mins. I dont know who set it up, but that is a spectacular place to ski. I am only up for two weeks a year at our cabin in cottonwood bay and came and went earlier this summer.

 

What, wait, you guys are saying I can just learn to ski better????? Oh..........

I have not been skiing behind this boat much, we primarily ski behind an 2006 Malibu RXLI, however I did ski behind it this weekend and it has a notably harder table, so much so that is was launching me off the wake. We are wondering if there is anything we can do to the boat to maximize the skiability of this boat, possibly a different prop. Not holding my breath but would like some input or feedback if you have any,

 

Thanks

After free skiing Thur-Sun at the river, we hit the course today. I am literally having an awakening figuring out how to ride the ski. Its like I am now skiing in 3D I really have to drive the ski and reach for buoys and manage my body position, none of which I have to do (or at least think about) at all when I free ski, I just kick back and ride. This is REALLY great. : )

I buy and sell cars every day. You have no right to the boat itself and I know you are probably just being funny, your problem is with the DMV, and let me tell you that you are the only one. : ) The buyer is probably trying to dodge the sales and registration fees and frankly the state putting the burden on the seller is pretty stupid, but its dmv, whats new.

 

File a complaint with this form. I know it is maddening and I cannot believe how incompetent and aloof they are, but that said, they are getting better. You may want to go to AAA or a third party agency for assistance, sometimes they are able to expedite these matters and it keeps you out of the 3 hour que at the local DMV.

Just need an impeller but thought I would ask and see if there is favorite vendor or supporter that ballers use.

 

thanks

I love to ski the course, but even given the opportunity I would still free ski half the time. To each his own, no wrong answers here.

I watched it a bunch of times and can see the back end of the ski pop over the second wake and the tip catches. Hope she is ok. Ski hard crash hard.

I will pay cash for any ridiculously low priced tow boats. : )

@Horton lmao.... I think $2000 is in the ballpark

I know people work hard and are very passionate about skiing but I cant help to think that these issues suck the fun and enjoyment right out of the skiing. I agree that you are either a Pro and pay and complain accordingly, or you are an amateur and thankful you have a pot to piss in.

 

I would recommend to the latter, that you serve your fellow skiers as much as you ski, and through that service and interaction, find ways to improve consistency in ALL areas of tourney skiing.

I dont know the release dates of the new models, will some/all of the manufacturers be releasing new skis soon?

I bought it from a gentleman in central California, I think it was 2009. I only owned it for a few months. He was the original owner and had purchased it new in Montana. It was in good condition, however, I did wind up replacing the trans for $1200 so really I owned it for a bit more, but it was still a smoking deal. No special edition, well, other than the Malibu Barbie paint scheme. I tinted the windscreen and it was a pretty hot looking boat imo. Steven, you may have seen me at Canyon, I lived in Phoenix at the time.

Website says the LX is the SV23 hull, same one I am skiing behind now. What is different about the R? It is not listed on the site.

The "old" lx hull??? Can someone be more specific. Looks identical to the 06 LXi, barring the seating pad in the very front of the bow.

Hmmm, I am already skiing behind this boat if I am not mistaken. Identical to an LXi or????

I skied yesterday and had read some info in waterski and the post on hips up and was literally thinking about it while I was about to get picked up and then as soon as I am up, boom, forget everything. I am skiing on a prophecy now and its a much faster/more agile ski than my V and so I am dealing with that, but I need some tips on how to concentrate WHILE I am skiing and try to improve on some fundamentals. TIA

 

Just found out my Dad's boat had a bad cylinder. Boo

Typical cut for me

Do I need more fin?

Unfortunately I did not get to ski due to our boat running poorly but I almost broke into tears when I took my jet ski into Anderson and saw a slalom course in there. I saw an older Malibu/mastercraft that looked to be heading in that direction around sunset a couple of times.... Fellow baller?
