Really ordinary but Black Beauty is quite appropriate. That's a purdy boat!

I think...Who Freakin Cares! Let's Ski!

What end of the lake? Guessed no 85 on the cool end and 100 plus on the hot tub/hot end!

Boat was a steal! I had to show it some love when I got it. But, it will be a solid boat for the new owner. I had it in a condition to keep it for quite a while until it just sat in my garage too long. It needs to be skied and it will be. I still have ski buddies w 3 ZO boats to ski so everything worked out for all involved!

I will never refer to it as the mini-course again...InnerCourse it is :smiley:

This thread popped into my brain this morning. My wife talked me into going to the dermatologist with her last year as we both spend considerable play time in the sun. Thankfully I did. I had pre-cancerous cells mostly on my temple area and cheek/cheekbone area. I was treated with Zyclara. Not pretty but my post treatment appointment revealed everything is fine. The areas cleared up quickly post treatment and my skin is now back to normal. My only symptom was a very small dry area on my temple that would peel periodically. It reminded me of when my lips get dry and peel. However, it was maybe 1/4 centimeter at the largest, kind of pencil tip size. I got lucky. Don't take chances and go get checked! I now wear a wide brimmed hat to provide more protection to the affected areas...and sunscreen.

I used to try to convince myself that I ski similar to @twhisper...then I realized I still can't run 15 off... :blush:

This was a GREAT tournament! Plenty of college skiers, one skier somewhere around 90 years old, Freddy Kruegers sister (forgive me, don't remember her name), Hot Lunch served, dinner party on Saturday night, golf cart to pick up those who fell at the other end of the lake, 2 very young youth skiers that will likely be INCREDIBLE in the not too near future etc. If you didn't make it this year, plan for it next year. Thanks @skihard for the idea of a memorial tournament. Thanks Jim and Susan for being incredible people!

Or this one, just under 1150 hours and Perfect Pass Stargazer updated to latest version. http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=51097

Ditto what @Moskier3ev said. Great facility, great folks. A good time will be had by all!

We'll be there Friday afternoon ready to work! Susan was an INCREDIBLE woman and deserves this! Jim's pretty solid too :)

Thank You @powbmps ! Will revise the post if I still can.

My previous post didn't have pics posted with it so thought I'd improve in this post (feel free to delete previous post if needed). Boat is a 1996 Malibu Echelon. Perfect Pass updated to latest version last year and shows right at 1150 hours. Boat has an Indmar Monsoon 320 motor with a Hurth transmission, (320 HP). I bought this boat 2 years ago this coming December so have only skied it one season. I'm only selling it as I have 3 ski partners who all have ZO boats so this one rarely gets used. Boat has a heater, a new battery bought last year, bimini, updated perfect pass with new module, freshly oiled teak swim platform, single axle trailer rewired last year, new trailer tires (includes a spare as well), spare prop, brand new boat cover and support system that has never been used as the boat has been stored in my garage. Boat has been compounded and waxed since I've gotten it. There is some surface rust on the trailer but I just didn't have time to get around to redoing it. Interior is in good shape as you can see. I can't think of anything else to tell you except this is a great boat for someone looking to get into a direct drive boat for not a whole lot of money. NADA "low retail" is $10,300. I've got it priced at $7499 but will entertain serious offers. Boat is located in Broken Arrow Oklahoma. Here are some pics. Ask any questions you might have. Thanks for looking.

Here ya go folks. You won't find a more able boat for the money. She's 100% ready to go. If you are looking for an inboard with updated speed control then this is your boat!

Got a couple of folks looking but no firm commitment yet. If you are interested, let me know. @skihard has driven it if you need a reference. LINK

Ski-it-again ad #SIA50305. 96 Malibu Echelon. See all the details and let me know. I've got a few folks interested but no one has committed yet. @skihard has driven it if you need a reference. LINK

PRICE DROP! $7995. See link in original post. NADA's low retail is over 10K. Great boat, Great Price!

See top boat @Bill22 , I corrected the link.

I bought it last year, fixed it up quite a bit, updated PerfectPass to the latest version etc. Unfortunately we just don't use it enough to make it feasible to keep. Lots of good stuff on this boat. It runs great and would be a great 3-event boat for not a lot of money. Here is the link to SIA: BOAT. PM me with any questions you might have.

I'll upload a picture of the areas being treated as "motivation" for the younger crowd. I wish I would have taken pictures during the first 2 weeks as it was much worse than this final round.

I went to the dermatologist in May as my wife made herself an appointment and I thought it certainly wouldn't hurt. Thank Goodness I did! Some pre-cancerous spots on my face, obviously sun related. She told me to wait until fall to start the medicine she prescribed. I have been through one 2-week cycle of Zyclara which revealed many more spots than I expected. I'm half way through my second 2-week cycle now and have some unresolved areas showing up which will only get worse in the next week but will then heal quickly. Dr. says this should be all the treatment I need. Don't hesitate, Glad I Went. Plan to be much more diligent with the hat and sunscreen from now on!

And THIS is exactly what keeps me from running the course!

Thanks @MNshortliner , do I just unscrew it like I mentioned, nothing special? Yes, 4 plugs total! Anyone heard of "draining the mufflers"? I saw if on a youtube video for a V-drive but I've never heard of it otherwise. Looks like on his boat it's just a small screw underneath and towards the rear of one of his mufflers. Like I said, I've never heard of it but it never hurts to ask. Thanks
