  1. Hopefully someone can help me out here since the boat is out of town for the winter. Does anyone know the distance between the lifting rings on a 1998 Ski Nautique closed bow? Thanks in advance.
  2. I seriously doubt wakeboard even come close to the bass boat market. Fishermen used to be the waterskiers enemy, but I think the wakeboard boats ran them off.,Around here now, there's more folks fishing at night.
  3. One thing I like about bigger skis is the ability to really slow the boat down and work on technique and not beating yourself up with the drag. Bigger skis are alright at slower speeds and up to 28 off. Anything faster and shorter, you'll definitely need a shorter ski.
  4. Now, I know pro skiers could ski well on any ski out there. But I'm thinking regular Joes out there. We all know the Vapor can go 41 off. But I've seen regular Joe's run into 39.5 on the Senates and Theory's. I've even seen 28 off run on a 71" P6. I don't know about you guys, but it looks to me like Radar's got it figured out!
  5. I have this feeling that a lot of no waterski politics is going to involve waterski politics. Don't really have a dog in this fight that's coming, but I do care about what's right and wrong. Unfortunately, the EPA is coming for the private ski lakes.
  6. I am kind of on the fence with the hardshell being an advantage over soft boots. Maybe they are safer, but with Mapple skis and other ski companies concentrating on torsional flex, it does seen counter-intuitive to have a firm boot while the ski flexes sideways.
  7. Level playing field? What we really need is a salary cap like the NFL. You cannot ski on a private lake. You cannot practice with ZO. You must ski on a public lake. If you ski in Florida year round you get a 12 buoy handicap, 30 foot jumping handicap and 1800 point trick handicap. Now that would be a level playing field. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
