Baller LoopSki Posted October 17, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2017 We had one out on our lake last summer. Ran out of lake real fast and ended up on shore on the other end. It was so ridiculously loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted October 17, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just like the new boats, @thager . I had formula race boats training on my Mecca lakes. Incredible. And incredibly scary. All the drivers were in some state of injury or disability. Or confined to a wheelchair. I didn't encourage my kids to pick up that sport. The business that gave the guy enough money to race finally pulled the plug and said he couldn't race as he was too valuable. They told him to get his pilot's license instead. It WAS fun to watch. And the tech was cool. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller TustinTom Posted October 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gotta love the "V" (San Joaquin Valley for those not living in Cali) I bet you could drum up some farm Canal skiing video too. Growing up in Fresno, those guys loved sunset on Pine Flat Lake. Not sure how they would survive today's Wakeboard wakes. They hated the rollers from our PS 190.

Baller rawly Posted October 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2017 Was driving next door when he got into it the first time. Thought I was being buzzed by an airplane. Scared the crap out of me. The skier thought that his boats motor blew up. Was a cool sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted October 18, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted October 18, 2017 Back when I skied the course on the Grand River, some guy put his hydroplane in and ran up and down the river at least 100 mph. Note: the speed limit on an inland waterway in MI is 50 mph. The river is about 150-200 feet wide. It was quite unnerving to set down after a pass and see that boat teetering from pontoon to pontoon as it rocketed through the maze of other boats and the MSU rowing team. We flagged him down and asked him to move upstream to a less crowded stretch of river. He apologized and stated that he needed to seat the rings after an engine rebuild in preparation for an upcoming race. I said we'd rather those rings were not seated in our laps. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted October 18, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yea! But that dog don't hunt!! Here is Sledgehammr setting an "Unofficial" world single wake record behind my flat. Gotta be able to go fast in the straight away's and then turn left! Fun to see boats like that and not a lot of room to run on ski lakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DW Posted October 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2017 @MISkier : I have tested my buddies hydro, lots of fun & amazing lateral g forces out of that little skeg in the water, you have to hold on tight, they turn left amazingly well. It's not the speed that is the concern, it is riding on the edge of blow over and getting a slight gust and the nose points up that is one of those 'oh s**t' moments. You adjust the front wing from the cockpit to trim the boat for max speed. The feeling of teetering on three tiny points at triple digit speeds is pretty awesome.

Boat030 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It was a fun day yesterday, definitely a different experience than where we normally run the boat. A huge thanks to Bob and John for letting us use the lake! I have a good short video but I'm not sure how to upload it here, but I did get a cool picture of it on the lift.

Baller RAWSki Posted October 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2017 Really cool and nice looking boat. I trust that is a carbon fiber paddle you use to aim the bow before 'blasting off'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boat030 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 @tc Thanks Tom! We were actually trying different down pedal timing/position at the last race and yesterday, the boat is just making crazy power at the hit and honestly I just don't have a perfect handle on it yet. @RAWSki carbon fiber paddle would be bad ass! Ours is just really light wood, like Balsa wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller T_C Posted October 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2017 @Boat030 I was just being a smart ass with the down pedal comment I think Scarlata would have been proud of that launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
