  1. Skied January 1,2&3. At the Lagoon. Water 59 Air temperature 59. Sunny.
  2. https://www.sharrowmarine.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAlMCOBhCZARIsANLid6ZLH1YqfA-Q5E7f2kSiqBSArKOR2kdHG4AKFEflOnjqfQw5ybUiZawaApAqEALw_wcB Is anyone considering this propeller? Very pricey at 4.9k but looks promising. Better fuel economy and the wake looks amazing. They have a testing and development department. Maybe we can arrange some testing of their props on ski boats. I recently changed my prop on my 2006 SN 206 from the Acme 422 to the OJ 428 4 blade Ski Pro per @Jody_Seal recommendation on Planet Nautique. The consensus is that that wake is better and softer. Hard to tell because the Acme 422 is a great prop.
  3. An Oneill 4/3 Hyperfreak wetsuit! Can't wait to try it out today in San Diego! Water temp 60 air temp 60 at noon. Happy New Year!
  4. Here at Carlsbad Lagoon we have some young skiers. The course was in shambles due to lack of maintenance and the saltwater environment. Darn barnacles! We now have a good setup and some dedicated skiers. One wants to be on the SDSU ski team and we take him on the course weekly. So besides us old guys there are a few.
  5. Ski the Carlsbad Lagoon 3 times per week Start skiing the course. 1st day today! Get the boat trailer galvanized. Not get fat@
  6. PM me if you want to sell yours or rent yours to me for 3 months!
  7. Anyone want to ski/drive Carlsbad Logoon? 7AM Saturday or Sunday?
  8. Great to meet you @Vikingskier. Had a great time. Skied Monday too no boats both mornings. The course looked in decent condition.
  9. Malibu's deteriorate fast in salt. Mine everything rusted out in 3 years. Going on 4 years now with my Nautique. Night and day better. Get a lift to keep it out of the water unless you are going to trailer it. I have a routine down that seems to work well staving off the rust as best as possible.
  10. Trying to get a driver. Richard cant go. I need a remote controlled boat.
  11. Back at the Carlsbad Lagoon. $1025 yearly ramp fee? Glassy early mornings. Still looking for drivers and skiers. 760-525-0304
  12. I finally got around to trying the Hybrid RTP yesterday. It felt a bit awkward at first. It let me raise my heal on the deep start. I don't think I could kick in on it because I am a size 12. 2nd day was much better. I like the lateral stability especially on my on side.
  13. Her Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; he said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep -- I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster. His Diary: Boat wouldn't start; can't figure out why.
  14. I have the HO Attacks on mine. Look for closeout deals. They haven't changed much.
  15. Old wooden Chris Craft- big wake Zodiac Inflatable with 40 hp Suzuki Tiller-no wake 97 Centurion-sizable hump in middle wake Malibu Response LX-nice wake, a little lip 2014 Moomba-great wake, soft Axis Wakeboard with Surfgate-big wake Ebtide IO Wakeboard-long hard deep start, wake smooths out at 36 mph
  16. I like the Connelly Carbon V. Very stable but capable ski. Easier deep starts than the HO CX superlite The HO Attack bindings are comfortable. You may want to look into the OB4 or Reflex releasing systems to protect your ankle, then get the most comfortable boot.
  17. Craigslist or out here SoCal we have Play It Again Sports stores and I found a pair of Connelly in perfect shape $ 20
  18. Here are some photos of the Radar R-Style 12 Right foot. It came labeled as a right foot but I found it strange that the cut out was for the pinky toe and not the big toe. I used it once.
  19. I have ordered the Radar Hybrid Rear Toe Plate. Anyone need a R-Type 12 Right with boot and Carbon Plate? $ 185. Used once.
  20. I recently found that this issue of mold has happened to me. I ordered two Davis dehumidifiers and this solar vent fan by Eco-Worthy. http://www.amazon.com/ECO-WORTHY-Solar-Powered-Venting-Stainless/dp/B00I1D4S9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460399766&sr=8-1&keywords=solar+eco+vent I plan on putting the vent into the cover. It runs a small fan slowly constant all day and into the night until the battery runs out then recharges during the daytime while the fan runs. Hopefully this will do the trick.
  21. I have a hydrohoist in Carlsbad Lagoon. I got it used from a neighbor already set up for a 1999 Malibu Response LX for $3,500. New they are $ 6,500 plus. Best bet is to find a used one on Craigslist. They are like owning a second boat, things need to be repaired. This one had lots of things replaced before I bought it. I have replaced 4 valves. Works great. It would run on a small Honda generator or a 12 volt solar conversion. I think you are better off with the cantilever attached to the bottom unless your lake depth varies then the floating version can move with your dock.
  22. @ShaneH how did you like the HO chop top. Can you lift your heal up? I like my heal up on deep starts.
  23. Has anyone tried the Radar Hybrid Rear Toe Plate? I am thinking of buying one.
