Baller ETskier Posted March 20 Baller Share Posted March 20 If money is no object, Wally. They hold their color well and they make super HD versions of each color for boat guides, 55s, and gates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldmanskier Posted March 21 Baller Share Posted March 21 Wally's is what we use at No Wake lake. They last a long time, keep their color well and if inflated properly are (in my opinion) the safest if the ski hits the buoy. Ski will usually mush right thru preventing injury.

Baller MDB1056 Posted March 21 Baller Share Posted March 21 (edited) @34mphDefinitely +1 for Wally's, but as noted they are pricier. As you noted you're on a public lake you should consider if there's risk of the course getting damaged by fools and fisherman etc that would be having you replace a lot of buoys. If that's the case I'd rather be replacing inexpensive buoys. You know your water. Again as far as high quality yes Wally's are the best Edited March 21 by MDB1056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ETskier Posted March 23 Baller Share Posted March 23 Don't get me wrong here. We use Overtons on our public lake course for price and because the loop is solid and won't pull out. Polyforms have a hollow air loop which pulls out too easily for our situation. Neither hold their color that well here in Florida. I asked last year in a thread about Radar bouys. They claim they hold color well, but appear to have hollow loops. Can anyone confirm they are solid or do not pull out easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LOTW Posted March 23 Baller Share Posted March 23 We use the Overtons balls on our public lake course for the same reason, solid loops that seem to be more durable. The RADAR ones that I saw were hallow loops. We've painted the tops of some of the badly faded ones with plastic paint and it seems to work.

Baller aupatking Posted March 23 Baller Share Posted March 23 We get buoys cut constantly on our public water course so cheap is the way we go. Overtons or polyform or whatever we find cheap. They aren’t going to last out there anyway. Foam bullet buoys for boat guides. You wouldn’t believe the prop cuts we find in those things. But hey, they’re still floating.
