  1. https://www.leadwake.com/ How much weight you need depends on your boat and (of course) the weight of your driver.I have 65 under the passenger seat in our 200 CB.
  2. 2018 Nautique 200 Team with the 6.0l engine, ~380 hours I’m experiencing the same issue - intermittent no start (crank), neutral button (below throttle lever) non functional. Have no idea for how long that little button is not working as I never use it anyway. The no cranking issue started last week when it took a couple attempts to get the boat to finally crank over and start. It started and ran fine like nothing had happened. Yesterday it was even worse. Took forever to convince the boat to crank in the morning. When switching skiers at the end of the lake, we weren’t able to get it back running and we had to swim the boat in. Swapped a brand new battery in, nothing changed. Is there any way to check if the culprit is indeed the throttle box/assembly? It’s a $700 part and I would hate to buy it only to find out that it doesn’t solve my problem. *edit* One more thing that just came to my mind as I was posting this… One day I pushed the starter button to fire her up and nothing happened - at first - after about 5 seconds or so, while I was still wondering why it hadn’t cranked (and not pushing any buttons nor even touching the throttle lever at that moment) all of a sudden she cranked and the boat started.
  3. Don’t cheap out now! Get the HRT on aluminum plate and do a proper setup! Nice thing about that plate - you can pivot the boot on the plate to your liking.
  4. Regina is wearing running shorts. (According to my wife. And she is a triathlete, so she’s probably right there). IMO way more appropriate than these minimal bikini bottoms.
  5. I’m loving my S-Series! Quality is top notch. Coming from a optimized 2.0, I couldn’t tell a difference in how the rope feels. Just ordered a 2nd one (minus the 15off section) and another one for a neighbor. Customer service is fantastic, Scott is super responsive and great to work with!
  6. Pickos Ski School in Santa Rosa Beach is probably the closest to a beach in Florida.
  7. When dropping at the end of the course and the driver distracts me by telling random life stories or lake gossip while I’m mentally preparing for the next pass. There’s always a time for that, and I’m usually appreciative for that, but not in between passes.
  8. Thomas Asher did that already in 2019
  9. Drew Ross (@drew) did a fantastic job in finding us our house in 2015. I highly recommend him.
  10. Update with Danylo: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6zef0ZtJ2yr9Vqb15I0B7Z
  11. Saw that as well and couldn’t believe it. I like Joel a lot, but that guy is nuts! Hope the rescue crew is equipped with power tools as well. Nice touch using a Dewalt though. ?
  12. @VONMAN - Come on - the rope is only $190 nowadays! I guess when you basically have the monopoly on tournament used ropes, you can put any price sticker on your product that you see fit.
  13. You could easily retrofit regular course buoys with bolt on valve stems. Punch a small hole in the bottom of the ball, push the valve stem in, secure with rubber washer and nut from the outside, attach air hose. As the pressure would be very low I don’t see any issues with popping out the stem when inflating. Just an idea …
