I purchased a 2012 5.7 OB with under 300 hours and TA trailer for $42k in the fall.

I wear a 12.5 shoe and recently converted from double boots to the HRT. I tried the xl but it was too loose coming from a double boot. I squeeze into a standard as it feels tight and more secure like having my old boot on. I had to soak it in hot water with a can of wd40 in the HRT to get it to stretch a little.

I live in NE Indiana and drove the wife and 2 daughters (8 and 10) down to Coble in North Carolina. My girls loved it and we are heading back again next year. Highly recommend.

@edmund you are probably right. I thought I read the 5.8 was 290 but someone else told me it was 310 as well.

This is the original 02 graphic.

Needed to move into a 200 as kids are now into skiing. Located in Angola IN. $22,000 846 hours on the GT40StargazerUpgraded to GPS Faria gauges2016 Eagle trailer with swing away tongue3 year old coverExterior is in great shape with very minor scratches. Interior is in good shape. Seam on back seat is separating a little. Previous owner didn’t like the ‘02 graphic so he changed it out for what I think is an ‘05.

@rico He’s filled out the demo form twice and hasn’t received a response.

I have a buddy that would like to demo a syndicate omega. He’s reached out to HO multiple times via phone and email without a response. Anyone have a better suggestion on how to get a hold of them? Thanks

So you don’t need the tape if you are using a d3?

Do they have a demo program?

Looking to get a new mirror for my ‘02 196 so we can see skier on both sides of the course. Seems like most posts say the PTM 140 is the best option. Any other recommendations? Thanks

We are looking to add the mini course to our existing public lake floating course and would like to make them removable as it’s a public lake and people do everything through the course. Our original thought was to put submersed buoys down and then dive in and hook our mini buoys up each time we take the kids. That sounded great in the beginning but that requires us to jump in every time we set it up and take it out. Was thinking of possible leaving the bungee tied to the submersed buoy and pulling it up out of water and attaching mini buoy each time. Any concerns with having clip connected directly to buoy? Any other suggestions? Kids have already run the mini mini course (driving between balls and gates) and want the full mini now. Thanks

I would love to find something on land that would help me get my weight/hips shifted forward. I have 30 years of skiing with my ass back that I can’t seem to fix!!

Any new updates here? Currently skiing 32mph 22-28 off on a 2019 senate graphite and just feel like changing cuz I live skis!

I think that would work!

We have a public course that is constantly getting damaged by tubers and jet skis. What have you found to be the most durable boat guides and attaching? We currently have all balls attached with clips to pvc, 3’ of cord, 2’ of bungee to ball. Thanks

I have 8 & 10 year old daughters I would love to send to a ski camp for a week. Is there anything that has lessons during the day and sleeping accommodation?

MarkTimm - Have you used that jacket? Looks interesting

My camaro blactec heater shirt just blew the arm weld out (haven't received a call back from their CS department yet) so I'm looking for something new. I hate peeling these shirts off as I have a bad shoulder. Are there any good shirts that zip? Also, what is a good replacement for the camaro? thanks

Thanks for all of the feedback!

@skihacker how does McGinnis compare to chets place?

I've been slaloming since I was 10 (now 45) but always on crappy water and a boat that had a wave built for wakeboarding not skiing. This summer I got an '02 196 and instantly became addicted. I started the summer at 30mph 15' occasionally making all 6 to consistently making it at 33mph 15' and 22'. Yes I'm an able bodied man so I've bumped up to 34 but only make 50% of my passes. I want to get better! I work on my stack but 35 years of bad habits are hard to break. I went out with a few times with a buddy who is a tournament skier and he gave some pointers but I know I need some consistent coaching to get better. My wife has graciously agreed to allow me to go to ski school while we are on spring break. Her caveat is that it has to be in S. Florida so that's it's warm (our spring break is early so Orlando is out). I can only find Chet Raley. I know he's a good coach but would he be good for someone of my level? My 9 year old daughter would also like to go. She's been slaloming for 2 years and I swear she has better form than I do.
