I have a 2014 200 with Linc display. It has the round 2 puc antennas for ZO? For 2 yrs now my time has been stuck on 7pm and doesn’t move. Everything else functions normally, however I only seem to get 6-8 satellites on average. I called Zero off and they said my antennas are old and do not work as well anymore. They advised just buying one new antenna and that should fix the problem. Has anyone done this route vs upgrading to a single puc. Also how do I get access behind the linc display to plug in a new antenna. Is there a good procedure for pulling the dash apart. Thanks

I thought the webcast was great. We did not attend this year but my kids loved being able to watch their friends ski. They were bummed we didn’t go but this made them still feel like they were part of it. Hopefully this will continue next year.

I'm looking for a pair of jumpers for my boys to use next yr. They are 7 and 9 and about the same size 48" and 55lbs. Not sure if they will hit a ramp next year yet but would like to use them just to ride around on and get use to cutting across the wakes. I'm looking for 68"-72". Thanks.

@bigskieridaho I think I know what your talking about, but I would need to add another cross bar about 14" in front of my front most cross bar to hold the front of the front bunks. This is because the total distance of the bunks or double bunks can only be about 10 ft and my bars are over 11ft front to back. Would you get more aluminum tubing to make these cross bars and if so how would I attach them? Sorry if I'm not understanding what your telling me. I'm also considering attaching carpeted 2x6s (2 high) on top of my existing aluminum bunks. I could use 8 boards 4-5ft in length and angle the front ones to fit the v of the hull while leaving the back ones flatter to fit the hull in the rear. I figure this will raise the boat off of the aluminum bunks enough to clear the chime in the front of the hull off of the aluminum bunk.

@bigskieridaho The span is 11ft 3 inches front to back on my cradle and it appears I can only have about a 10 ft span of bunks to have the rear cross bar stay far enough in front of the prop and still come up short of the chimes on front of hull. Do you have any pictures of this done. Not really sure how I would make that work.

I have a Vibo vertical lift with full length bunks. The distance between the front and rear cross bars on the cradle part of my lift is 11ft 3". The problem is that the front of the bunks will rest on the spray chime under the boat. I'm afraid this could crack this fiberglass chime over time. If I put the bunks really narrow to go inside this chime then I believe the bunks will smash the water pick up screen under the boat. This narrowest I can get the bunks in the front and widest in the back is in the picture. The two options I can come up with are taking off the full length bunks and just putting some 6 inch carpeted 2x6 boards on each riser off the cradle or attaching a 10 ft carpeted 2x6 to the top of the bunk. I would position this board on top of the existing bunks to stop a few inches prior to the spray chime. This way that chime would not be resting on the bunk because the boat should be high enough to clear. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. to clear it.

Fall of 2015 my ski broke and a puncture hole was found on my padded ski roll bag. I called Delta and they had me email pictures and copies of receipts. They gave me full price for the new ski bag, ski and bindings even though the ski was 4 yrs old. I used the money to go buy a new vapor. My season was over in MN so the situation couldn't have worked out better for me. Good Luck. Hope Southwest will treat you as good as Delta did me. Did you have any damage to the sportube?

@bigskieridaho sorry accidentally clicked off topic, not sure how to take back. On a separate note wish for the best for Gekko.

I just skied there last friday with my 7 and 5 yr olds. Arthur did a great job with the kids and helped out my skiing as well. Site is very nice, new 200, nice covered dock and a screened in building for non skiers to observe. I would highly recommend if your in RSW. About 20 mins from airport or 45 mins from Fort Meyers Beach.

Just got this in time to put in storage in MN.

Been looking for a 200 for a while. Found this one via ballofspray.

@mbabiash is boat still for sale?

@Bruce_Butterfield @Chef23 @Russell Thanks for your advice. I found a 40" Kidder trick ski on ski it again in Orlando that I'm considering. The seller is willing to take it to Performance and have them mount a jr wiley on it. I understand that a hard shell reflex binding is preferred, but I can't spend that much money yet. Does anyone know if there are any books or videos on tricking, I want to get a grasp on the basics so I kind of know what to tell him. @Bruce_Butterfield I've kept my son on 2 obrien jr vortex skis in the course. I was tempted to go to one but feel he is really progressing on 2 skis learning the course. He can run the full course now with gates at 14mph and is signed up for his first tournament next month. Thanks for the good advice!

@Russel thanks for your advice. I was looking on ski it again and there are a few 42 slalom tricks. Would you recommend one with rails or completely flat. I'm looking at a few skis on ski it again but am curious if there is any you would recommend. Also did you call performance for a reflex boot small enough for a 6 yr old. My 6 yr old is running the course on 2 skis at 14-15 mph. We haven't tried slalom yet. Any insight on how to figure out which foot he should put forward. Thanks, sorry I know nothing about trick skiing.

I'm looking to get my 7 year old into tricking this summer, but I'm having a hard time finding trick skis with bindings that will work for him. Does anyone have a pair of trick skis or a slalom trick ski that would work for a 7 yr old that they would be interested in selling. I've checked ski it again. Thanks
