  1. Babes Spot Solver will bleed out stains as well. Looks like a pretty good list of options has formed.
  2. I have a 200 closed bow with the side saddles. Tons of storage if I needed it. Two adults could camp under the bow and we can fit four slalom skis plus gear in the side saddles. A cooler can sit behind the driver. If you plan on putting wet gear in the side saddles (we don’t), buy Lysol. The observers seat is huge, plenty of space.
  3. Did you see the Miami University kid jump 80 feet on a finless wakeboard? Tony Lightfoot was blown away by the 3/4 cut.
  4. This is the book, right? Says it right there 1.00/58/9.75. As @klindy said, it IS in the book.
  5. Marcus is making highlight films. In case you missed it, he did an excellent job as always.
  6. @Bdecker’s comment about rarely being in a compromised position is spot on. I ran some crazy passes on the C75 and many smooth ones. I could crash turns if I got behind, build angle if I was late, or just be smooth as hell if I wanted on the C75. With the C85, it’s just harder for me to screw things up.
  7. @Horton another tournament with Caldwell into 41 and you need to make another highlight clip.
  8. @Jody_Seal does a 6.0 fit under the motor box used for the 5.7 in an SN200?
  9. To get credit for speed and line length the full pass must be run, at that point the skier gets credit for all previous passes. 2.5 buoys at 28 mph is scored the same as 2.5 buoys at 15.5 mph. Otherwise, tournaments would be about getting 1 buoy at the shortest line length.
  10. I believe the changes made to the throttle in 2015 was backward compatible and you could do an upgrade. You should be able to find some old discussions of the ‘13 and ‘14 throttle in the forum. I drove an ‘18 recently - I assume no changes from ‘15 to ‘18 - and it was very, very nice. I don’t know the cost, but I bet that you would not regret the investment if you plan on keeping the boat for years.
  11. You can also use a footless compression sock for the calf. Less cumbersome than a neoprene rash guard and equally effective.
  12. Just warm up on shore like Jenny LeBaw and Marcus tell you too - they’re right - and avoid all of the gas money jokes from the announcers and the rest of the crowd.
  13. Your boat driver is running over the left-hand boat guides and needs to shift right. Some polite guidance driving through without a skier will help.
  14. He was the only one to run 39 tailwind.
  15. Does anyone know how many competitors get to ski the finals on Friday for each event?
  16. @LeonL hopefully this link to Freddy’s page works. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbXjWoIBPbOdFY_aQwsgTzg
  17. Live on WICS news, “We’re always first on the scene.”
  18. @OldboyII I’m fairly certain that the skis are made a few at a time. It will get to you and I expect that it will be worth the wait.
  19. Glad that you are on the water, keep having fun!
  20. @rico, just so you know, your legend has prevailed in the Midwest. If my RFF 12-year-old gets five, he yells, “I got a Rico!” If you always get 6 and never 5, I’ll buy a new MasterCraft.
  21. I bet @rico gets around 6 with the 2022
  22. I never did until I got the confidence to do so by trying different settings on my C-75. I followed @AdamCord’s advice, read Fin Whispering, and learned. On my C-75, it was as simple as changing wing angle. On the C-85, I have learned how the ski runs for me as the water has warmed and already have idea of what will work in the fall. Even if it doesn’t, I’ll learn something.
