@sunnshinne And where is this club located? Always on the look out for new ski sites.

 

We have had issues this year on one of our Prostar's, it is at dealer today for second go around. Maybe Covid is affecting the Satellites?

OK, as the resident boat mechanic, that is amazing that the access to the underside of dash with the seats flipping up! My Nautique tat is fading, need to drive this new boat and if really does track like a Nautique.....

@mylemsky Mine was the anarchy model, but I think they are mostly all the same but different graphics. I know Stephen Neveu was skiing in the same vest the last few years.

Best Vest I have used is a Billabong, I have used most brands and the billabong vest is awesome!

At our club, one of the boats has the MTS ballast BUT we just use couple of lead wake bags. Way faster and can adjust quicker in position, plus no loss of storage space under seat.

Nautique Guy also, but have loved the current boat the last few years skiing and driving at my ski club. BUT was still a Nautique guy, this new boat if it lives up to the billing will make me change my tattoo! Great job Mastercraft! You guys really listened and it is awesome to be heard!

Excited to see the new Prostar, will ski great!

@A_B Are you thinking $1500 for a summer rental? day? Hours? Just curious what you are thinking?

 

We live in Canada and 12 weeks is about the season, worth every turn till snow flys!

Both my wife and I have Vapour Lithium and both are were labeled Made in USA. Lithium is PVC core and pro is PMI foam. PVC is the foam in D3, Goode, Syndicate and every other high end ski.

 

@escmanaze Thanks never been a Unicorn before. Love our Zbox on 05 SN with Excalibur 330. Ski with Zero off all the time also and get a similar pull.

@MattP is this a podcast? where can they be downloaded? Ty coached my daughter and I at Swiss back in 2009, he was super!

BTW, my wife drives all 3 boats (196, PS and 200) regularly and does a great job driving all 3. But when I almost bought the Prostar, she was not excited, so we keep the 196 that we love!

@robmollysilverlake Thanks, I did discover that IG Live only works on mobile and not on mac's!! Watched Jon and Sean on my phone.

 

@markn We own a 196, but drive & ski the new Prostar's at our ski club. Both ski great at the end of the rope, but the 196 drives better. we also drive & ski 200's regularly also and they drive amazing. Not just tracking better, but smoother on throttle and steering also. Almost bought @swc5150 Prostar but my wife much prefers driving the Nautique's, thus happy wife and happy life! PS: we both love skiing behind the Prostar's!!

@robmollysilverlake How did you watch it? On T-Gas IG and click on his logo?

 

@vtmecheng I saw a post that they had a boat issue and delayed 30 mins.

 

@Cfootin Looks Awesome! Where in the world is your site?

Downloaded and looks great!

 

One suggestion, add ski model / length as some people do ski more then one ski.

 

Thanks!

Ok, will check it out! Watch the movie Darkest Hour, Awesome movie!

@glasslake Well, considering that my cottage, boat, course but not my ski gear are all across the border in the USA! Both of us are locked out for now! Maybe we should trade cottage, boats for a while! My Cottage is in Sandpoint, Idaho and my pic is my old boat at my dock.

 

Everybody laughed at the first people wearing Snow ski and cycling helmets, now you are questioned when you don't wear a helmet. It's all what people are used to seeing. New Norm maybe everyone wearing masks...

To build a great 20' V drive boat with skiing potential a few things need to change. Reduce weight of engine, a Turbo 4 Alu. block engine vs a big V8 may help it ski well. Add weight back in with ballast for other sports. Change to Kevlar or carbon from glass to reduce hull weight. For $200k, I am sure it could be done, but not sure the market still exists!
