  2. The Streetcars in New Orleans do not turn around but rather just go in reverse down the same track. This is how they reverse the seats...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20B4J9qJzxQ
  3. I can tell you from experience this is an awesome boat in your price range. Owner is a personal friend and this thing is in perfect condition. http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=50033
  4. PS " i really love my boat" Here she is on her 20th birthday
  5. I'ma agree with @auskier. The only thing I read into your request is that you might be in the market for open bow vs closed. However, let me through in a monkey wrench and see if I can't "change your mind". I would seriously consider the 2001 MB Sports Boss 190 I saw at boatsales.com.au, not sure the hours, but worth a look. Not many mention these boats. MB's are top quality from design to finish all the way. My '97 with 1000 hours on it, still has the original upholstery and carpet (I purchased replacement of each when I bought the boat), because it still looks new. I got no stake in this one but no-one has ever not loved skiing mine. Waterski Magazine 2001 Test team rated the wake size, the wake hardness, the spray and tracking all World Class.

  6. Men's 7 ...soap and water is all you need.
  7. @swc5150 vapor tested Q45, Helix,T1, T2, A3. H2 and V-TYPE were not available. I really liked the Q45 too.
  8. I am with Bishop - Demo, Demo, Demo... My skiing is much like yours, love it but not enough water time to go where others are going or have gone. Facing this fact alone requires us to ask why buy newer or better? Or - "Should I pay for coaching, ski school, ski vacation - new boat?" Should you buy? YES - not because you're wife gave you the "green light"... because "When was the last time you're wife steered you in the wrong direction?" nuff said What should you buy? YOU'RE SKI - My experience leads me to highly recommend the demo programs that are offered. Demoing is actually a fun process in itself. Although you too may find several skis you like as I did after testing, you will naturally lean toward YOU'RE SKI. It will also give you a comfort when writing that check. my experience in short... I skied 4 times last summer (boo, yuck, what's wrong with you?) . Last fall I demoed a half dozen skis and bought a new 2015 with boots. The new skis are not only better, they are way more FUN! I ski for the shear pleasure of skiing. The brand and model of the ski I like should not be as important to you as which ski you will like. Just so you know, I would have been happy with any of the skis I demoed, however by trying several I was able to easily pick a favorite. I skied more on demos last fall than I did all year on my own ski. Although, I may have tossed the towel on skiing with the 'big boys', I have not tossed the towel on skiing and I do not plan to anytime soon. And by skiing I mean chasing buoys. It's just that much fun, there are many other benefits but because I enjoy it is at the top of the list for me. here's to riding my new ski soon. Haven't ridden it yet? boo, yuck, what's wrong with you? good luck and have fun
  9. @gt2003 2-day school in June, you made an excellent choice to go early rather than later (IMO). Another weekend at the end of season could be beneficial as well. The only thing I would like to add is... Keep in mind it is ski SCHOOL, take notes and lots of them... video, audio, pencil and paper, whatever. You will return from Dallas with a ton of entirely new info and insight, store it somewhere for reference. Some concepts and/or instruction may sound too advanced or even ridiculously crazy and then you get to that point in your skiing sometime later this summer and you say to yourself "What did Alan say about that?" just my 2-cents Have Fun!
