Had a great visit with Jodi last April! Super helpful and also super chill. World class skier or just starting out he’ll help you out.

Skied on Tuesday in MN. Little cool but all good with a wetsuit. Fear this might be last go for the year.

Have fun! I grew up near this lake and it’s crazy how much it’s changed, how busy it is. I have never seen a course on the lake but maybe there is one somewhere. This lake has ALL the crazy so any visible course would be ripped up by non attentive drivers.

@Rednucleus - looking good! I replaced the seals over the weekend. Not sure if they are perfect but they are in place. Will likely be a while before I can fully test in the water.

@Rednucleus - yes it’s a baggy dry suit. Specially one from barefoot international. Good idea on the inflatable. Someone else said use a ballon but like the idea I’d something cylindrical vs sphere shaped. Good news is I have a spare dry suit and a few months to get this repaired as no way will my driver be taking me out anytime soon :)

Thanks @503Kento!

Thanks @Cnewbert will check them out. I’m thinking I will try to repair myself vs send out. So if any tips, or experiences, with DIY repair let me know.

Have an ankle seal that ripped out on me yesterday so need to replace. Any tips folks have? Is bare the only seal supplier out there? Is Aquaseal with Cotol the ‘go to’ adhesive? Have watched a bunch of videos but not having done it before wanted to ask before I start. Thanks!! Also love late October… all the boats are off the lake, so wonderful!!

@escmanaze the thing with the crazy prices of boats is it makes ‘all’ boats worth more. It seems many that have purchased board in 2015 and after can and have sold boats for more than they paid. Will be curious if rescission sticks around to see if boats are off loaded for steep discounts.

Price will be what market can bear. $140k for prostar is nuts! Yes I’m fully aware the MC wake boats are $200-300k. Which is just silly! Public company has do all they can to keep profits up…

Fully agree it’s nuts what boats are selling for now! Not trying to spam anyone, just thought this might be a ‘deal’ for someone. If not a deal I fully take those remarks to educate me. I’m not in the market for one of these and likely won’t ever be…

Seems like a good deal! 2020 prostar 6.0 ~280 hours ~$75k Located in OH https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/590419495945480/

Mastercraft’s XT line is supposed to be a crossover boat. Few years back they had some promo shots of skiing behind an xt21 or xt22. No direct skiing experience so can’t comment on wake quality.

@Hucklefin I’d debate that the x14/ PS214 is the most family oriented DD out there. Large wrap around seating where the dog house is almost like an ottoman :) I will agree that the LXI and others may have better ski wakes. But for a DD I don’t know of any boats with better utility.

To expand your options a bit you can also consider an PS205. Same hull as 190 but with open bow. They lagged the 190 by a year. So a ‘95 205 will have same hull ad as the ‘94 190 but will have efi.
