@aupatking Did you have any luck on working the mounting out? Would love a set for my 196 Cheers

Our kids attended their first one here in South Aus this year & loved it. It was definitely not just about the skiing, but the friendships formed. Their skiing has improved since, partly from the coaching but I also think from watching others & seeing what is possible and wanting to tell them about their achievements. Would love to get to the US one day for a camp for them as well as me!

This beer released in Aus seems appropriate for Water Skiers & this thread. I'm yet to try it. Cheers Robbo

This one in South Aus has had a wall built across it and no longer used. Its currently for sale but I think even @ full length it would be a bit short.

Cheers for the responses. Its on a feather frame so no luck.

I thought I would ask here rather than start a new Thread. I'm looking @ buying a 2017 Radar Lyric Rear binding to put on the front of a 2017 Radar Lyric. Are the holes the same Width? I understand the plate is longer on the rear binding and it doesn't have the extra set of holes (will look to drill them). Would this work? Its to replace a friends binding as my wife had to be cut out of it (Broken leg). Cheers Robbo

Like most above, I sized up from the 12 to 13/14 and find its perfect. Still need to do the heat moulding. Cheers Robbo

@freerange No it was a different one but can't find the link sorry

Lift not an option cost wise. We have an undercover park out the back and its easy enough to put in. Will look at the Whips again but thinking we will still need fenders on the post for as we park. With the large Sausage ones, I had looked at https://www.bigbumperaustralia.com.au/ but wasn't sure if we could leave it there all the time or have to take it out when not there, which we would then need to store. Cheers Robbo

We bought an 03 Nautique 5 years ago and hasn't skipped a beat. Great boat to ski behind. There is one similar currently for sale that's very clean and asking just above what your looking to pay. The US built boats hold their value because they are so well built

What's your budget and what's your reason for wanting new? Agree on the matrix being a well built boat! Cheers Robbo

We are in the process of putting in some new poles and fender setup for our boat to sit against. We are on a public river with wake boats so it does get knocked around a bit. Our current jetty has poles underneath so looking to put in 4-5 new poles and then brace it back to the jetty and run horizontal timber's along the front. Then thinking upright timers on that for fenders to attach as water level changes. Interested to know what dock fenders people are using. Preferably something available in Aus or via Amazon Prime. Hoping not to use the inflatable once we have the new setup Cheers Robbo

After not being able to fly to the US earlier this year and reading this, I am thinking video coaching from Terry through the Aus summer could be the go

It has meant postponing our trip from Aus to the US in May which was going to involve skiing. In saying that, all of the kids sports have been cancelled which will mean more river time here for as long as the weather holds out!

Cheers all for the responses. I think I will go down the closed toe option. Ultimately want the safest option after having my wife badly break her leg 14 months ago on a ski. Would love to upgrade to the MOB, but not in my price range at the moment. Now I just need to find somewhere locally that stocks them to see if I fit the Carbitex as my foot is a little wide. Thanks @perfski for the response. I am coming off just the standard Vector bindings on my Senate Alloy. If I was in the US, I would be sure to hit you guys up. I will report back once I am on something new. Cheers Robbo
