Baller SkiJay Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 @CBR51 I only skied one set of –28s behind the new boat during a lesson with Matt Rini. I was totally focused on what the master had me working on (and a little baffled by the 8-ball course gate), so this isn't a proper review. But I did notice two things: 1) I was completely unaware of the pull or the wake, which I suppose means they are either as good as or better than my '15 CC200 6L. If anything unexpected was going on, I would have seized the opportunity to blame it for making me ski like a doorknob. 2) I was wider and earlier than expected virtually every pass, even with screw-ups. Was this because the wake shaper works at —28, or because skiing for Matt makes me try harder? I can say that I didn't get a single decent gate, so there's a good case to be made for the wake actually being helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted April 21, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted April 21, 2018 @SkiJay : So in your case the Micro-Tuner program was over-ridden and engaged at --28? Thanks for posting your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 Wow, the gunwales are so tall the rope actually rests on them for a second during the turn. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bulldog Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 I like how the gunwales are shaped on the top. Looks like the rope will not catch on anything.... "Do Better..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 Couldn't put my finger on it before, but a front shot reminds me of the tri-hulls of the early 70's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BlueSki Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 My father-in-law had an old 60s/70s tri-hull (Caravelle, I think) that had the fuel tank in front of the console. Everything really does come full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiJay Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 @DW The MicroTuner was turned on, but I'm not sure if that means the points were engaged or not. The MicroTuner programming is complex, and Nautique is keeping the details hush hush for now. All I know is the triangular gates and the wake gate are all tied to the boat's wake management system. And both the triangles and wake gate engage and disengage in varying combinations that depend on the boat's speed and rope length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted April 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2018 @swc5150 my TSC 1 nautique will have marks from the rope way up on the gunwales that I wife off/buff out with some regularity...so it must touch there, too. With that I don't think the sides are all that high or out of bounds, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2018 @SkiJay assume you can get out of video camera. Put the boat on the trailer. Tell the computer what rope length and boat speeds... video all of the different micro tuner variables.

Baller SkiJay Posted April 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2018 That was immediately what I thought when I heard Correct Craft wanted to keep MicroTuning's settings a secret @Horton. Why bother Correct Craft, it's going to be a very short lived secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted April 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm guessing they also are also programmed to respond internally to speed, and likely wont deploy at 0mph. May need to attach a go pro to the bottom of the swim platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted April 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2018 Agree with @ScottScott that they're probably using the same logic controllers as the wakesurf devices, which don't deploy until a given speed is reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GregHind Posted April 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2018 @UWSkier sounds like a job for a go pro when driving down the road on a trailer. Irrespective of actual boat speed they must deploy once a certain gps speed is exceeded say 20mph to the amount specified in the program based on set point for line length and zero off target speed.

Baller skibug Posted April 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2018 I guess someone would have to ride in the boat while being trailered so they could cycle the head unit through the speed and rope lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Roger Posted April 25, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2018 @Gloersen - that is correct. The Dynafoil is still legal and the angle of the wing can be adjusted between passes by the skier.

Baller SkierAtHeart Posted April 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 27, 2018 @Krlee I was just making a joke. Bob did bring one of his boats up there. Missed you at Gates and Wakes this year. With the water skiing portion canceled it left the door wide open for a snow skier to take the top spot. :) Now back to the 2019 Nautique. I really like the color scheme you picked out.

Baller Dirt Posted May 6, 2018 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2018 I talked to some people who skied behind it and drove it and the reviews were very good. That is not surprising, it is a Nautique.
