  1. @ozski i completely agree. Its funny that when the new nautique was released i received a bucket load of dislikes when i commented that it would struggle to sell at the 160k mark in aus. Yes all brands are going up in price but 170k buys a new prostar and a tow vehicle to match ha ha. One bonus of the prices going up is i got offered 10000 higher than i paid to trade my 2013 197 in on a new prostar.
  2. of all the topics and subjects on this forum, This One is The Best.
  3. @ozski a bit off topic but out of interest is there any drain ports on the bow to drain water out of the diamond indentations on top if you were ever to punch the nose into a wave.
  4. @Ilivetoski I think what @skierjp means that if you are free skiing or practicing you can override and deploy the microtuners whenever you want but in a tournament setting the line length selection on screen dictates what the gate and tuners do. then it’s the same for everyone who skis at that length
  5. Hours should be stored in the gauge brother. At least you boat will never get any older hour wise
  6. Yeah mate I had the same issue. Went to the front holes and it’s a good tight lockdown. Make sure you still check your release tension on the dock as it will change slightly so you may need to adjust
  7. I hope these seat tears on the outside of the bolster are an option when your spending that kind of dough
  8. well in the end it doesn’t matter how much it costs, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pavati came out with an all aluminium slalom tug and priced it higher.
  9. @auskier I do know that the 110 mark is what we are looking at down here for a Malibu or a prostar. That’s what I mean by nautique putting a nail in the coffin if they expect to sell a pure slalom rig if it’s going to be priced 130k usd unless it comes fully loaded and you don’t need to spec it up. They won’t need to worry about it being hard for aussies to get a build spot because I’m pretty sure no ones going to fork that kind of money out. I know very well that the aus market is very different to the US market.
  10. If that’s 130000 USD then I dare say correct craft have killed their ski boat sales down under. A 70k USD prostar is 110-120k AUD. Goodluck selling a 160-180k AUD out and out slalom rig. Even though they sell stuff all 200s as it is in Oz
  11. @adamhcaldwell a bit off topic but what buckles are they on your hardshell?
  12. @APB Do you think a video made by Marcus who has had sponsorship from HO for a long time to have any thing but HO in it. What did you expect to see, people playing around other brands or on wooden planks. If al you could focus on is the logos I think your missing the point of Marcus’ videos.
  13. @Horton I prefer it facing backwards on super view mode to capture everything
  14. Currently running a 2017 Vmax as my rear binding behind a reflex and have nothing but positives to say about it.
  15. After Moombas dismal broadcast I must say the Masters Webcast is nothing short of quality. From all the way down in Aus it's great viewing.

    Ilmor vs Indmar

    Hey ozski. Have a 6.0l open cooled ilmor in my 2013 197. Just clicked over 300hrs, no problems at all, extremely easy to service.
  17. We use my 2013 197 with 6.0l to foot. It has the mini tower and is perfect, has towed 3 footers at 64kmh.
  18. I ski RFF. Can't ski LFF to save me. I snowboard LFF and kick a soccerball with my R and write with my R hand. I have friends who are completely opposite to me. Treat each sport or activity on its own and don't let it influence others as each is completely different in balance requirements and so on
  19. Even though the instagram post is stating that the mighty CP is on a Mapple, I'm more interested in his front boot setup, Radar with Reflex release
  20. Pretty ironic that my Santa present and early birthday present came today.
  21. my 197 has the mini tower and looks top notch. doesn't get in the way of shortline and doesn't look out of proportion
  22. They are exactly the same as the edge binding but just rebranded
