Long line “lifer” here with a bad back who has had the good fortune to sample the 15-off wake behind pretty much everything that has been mentioned including the Carbon Pro - the only way someone is getting our Bubble Back is by prying it out of my cold dead hands 😊
-
Absolutely true - Skip has a couple 5.7s listed on SIA but the end is certainly near for new 5.7/6.0s. And then there will be motorbox fit issues to address. The point I was trying to make is that $60K for a new boat (or even a re-engined/fully refurbished one) is a tough price target to meet.
-
The “new” $60K tug already exists if someone wanted to get into the business of buying up old hulls and refurbishing them: • Used Bubble Back - $15K • Repower/Trans/ZO - $20K • New Upholstery - $5K • Gel Repair/Detailing - $5K • Misc parts/prop/carpet/rub rail - $5K • Trailer refurbish - $5K Total: $55K +/- for a completely refurbished, mint, ZO tug. The pricing for everything that needs to go with the hull just doesn’t leave much room for someone to try and design/manufacture a completely new hull if $60K is the target.

Here is one of several studies that has examined wave energy dissipation distance from a sample of recreational boats at different speeds/weights (ballast vs no ballast). Nothing particularly surprising, a ballasted G23 creates a bigger wake at 32mph than a 200, both make bigger wakes if they are plowing around at 10-12 mph, and energy dissipates over distance travelled.

Wouldn’t it be great if the manufacturers were lobbying for authorization to place a minimum of one slalom course on any body of water greater than 50 acres, stay 100 feet from shore, and no local government can create more restrictive rules 😉

This one is in PHX (Mesa): https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/boa/d/mesa-19-ski-nautique-boat-with-502/7687546456.html

Here is a nice looking ‘98 that just popped up on SIA with a GT40/ZBox. https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=68993
-
We repowered our ‘98 Bubble Back with a 6.0L ZO Rev S, ACME 668 and we have a 200 6.0L Rev S in our rotation. Definitely feels like the 200 is “on” you more than the Bubble - guessing the difference in feel may be related to the difference in mass between the two boats?

Love my EVO2 - I am typically in between sizes (6’1” / 170lbs / 31 waist) and the Medium fits me perfectly. Super product 👍
-
This is exactly what we do when free skiing with GPS based speed control and the river current is strong enough for the skier to ask for an adjustment
-
Here is another ‘99 SNOB https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=65628

Nice looking ‘21 Prostar in Clermont https://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Boat_3Event&postid=66127

If you feel like expanding your list to four - super happy with my Stokes Evo 2
-
Friend of mine received one with the new grip material from Brenda a couple of weeks ago - he is very happy with it ?
-
Bridgewater and the Max Kirwan Ski Park near Mulwala/Yarrawonga are super but neither are super close
-
@keithh2oskier might be worth your time to see if Doug Moss will have any engines available when you intend to sell. Could help having one lined up if a buyer wants a GT40 / 343 - Doug is a super resource
-
Very happy with my Syndicate Dry Flex ?
-
Received our S-Lines Comp Series today - super product and customer service ???
-
In-Tow ?
-
Syndicate Dry-Flex - ???
-
You will love the boat even more with a new motor and ZO ? -
Octane surely has something to do with it ?
