  1. Nate always seems to be having fun maybe that's why he's the best ?
  2. A lot more Goodes than radars on podiums
  3. keith2oskier I was at board stock I help put in the slalom coarse. It was a four bouy coarse after the first round the skiers decide no gates. Jamie B won Beushea won but did not use the gates. Terry Winter went threw gates and lost by a 1/2 bouy. I think all the pros spilt the prize money. I ask Jamie what he thought about the conditions he said any body can ski in perfect conditions. I'd rather ski in front of 100,00 people. They all said it was there favorite tournament ever the place was crazy. Kid rock flew in on a helicopter & right behind him another helicopter flew in with Pamela Anderson. I got about half the skiers back stage to meet him & her. Marcus Brown did a great job getting all the top pros their. Sad to say the organizer Rob Stimmel died in a on his way to his honeymoon plane crash. He met her at board stock, I knew both great people.
  4. 40 mph is that full throttle my 1999 snob goes 46 full load no skier I get up to 47.5 with just me in the boat
  5. That is the best looking ski I,ve seen it also matches my boat. When is the release date
  6. 87 vs 91 in California 10 cents difference so the most important thing in your boat the engine. For a 30 gallon tank equals $3.00. I'll take the higher octane all day. $50,000+ for a new boat I change the oil 3 times a year and the battery once a year and impellor. 1999 snob runs like new. I ski on big lakes nothing worse than being towed in.
  7. My 1999 snob gt40 always runs at 46-47mph star gazer first year I did not wax bottom of boat 41mph waxed bottom 46+
  8. Also bought a HO 2012 S2 off Hortons review and I still love it.
  9. That's why I like this web site. I loved the 9100 butt I like the 9200 better nobody that I skied with liked it as much as the 9100. I think the 9100 was a game changer. It's nice to see @Horton goes back and rides past review skis.
  10. Question for Horton what ski will you ride at Bell Aqua & what is the new test ski.
  11. That's true but if you can't drive a 196 you shouldn't be driving, plus I can drive all day on a tank of gas. I am a Nautique owner. I know I used to own a 1979 Ski Supreme & a 1986 Supra ts6m if you wanted a16.10r15.9 I could drive it and I'm sure you could too I would like to see the new drivers Qualify by driving by hand to get Certified not Zero off. Butt it sure saves marriages!!! '
  12. You can buy 5 bubble butts for the price of a new boat. Pretty sad and the new boats don't ski or track any better. JUST A THOUGHT!!!
  13. Straight, I would just buy both 3/16 & 1/4 I would go with straight I've had both but I trust straight more. Just tighten the prop on the shaft tight hold prop with towel back off nut then snug up not tight. When you put the boat in the water and if the boat vibrates the key way is to tight must have tiny gap. I have another Question I have a1999 snob my kids are more into surfing and wakeboarding. I'm looking at a malibu VTX 2010 -2014 I believe you wrote once you watch somebody run 39 off on it. If so how is the wake at 28 off 34 &36.
  14. I believe it is 1/4" like Zman said but on the 1997 thru now they have a pin on the keyway. You don't need the pin just make sure you have a tiny gap between key shaft and prop if its tight you will get vibration tighten prop on shaft, keyway should have tiny gap that you can see with flash light I got rid of Nautique nut and put a stainless with nylon insert Tighten back off and barly snug. It will work fine its a really cheap part like 10 bucks from Nautique. About 2 bucks From Lowes Or Home depot.
  15. I'd speed up the boat to 36 and shorten rope to 41 off. Just go for It .
  16. @savaiusini will the new binding fit on 2012 S-2 and where can I order them.Animals
  17. How are the new Animals come pared to the old white ones.
  18. No you have to try both and give us a update from down under!!!! Vs GT
  19. Yea we all do stupid things. Amazing we live thru these things. I have a picture of my friend spraying cows on the delta. I will post later. You'll be skiing soon. If you want to ski in the morning I know your a badass or just crazy like me!!
  20. Better question how the hell did you get your foot in there. Thank GOD you where not in deep water. I'd taken a broken bone over drowning any day of the week. I've seen a lot of motocross injury's but that may take the cake. Get well soon !!!!
  21. Question for @oldjeep looking at VTX for family boat currently own 1999 196 snob need more room teenagers who surf & wake board. Dads the only skier in family. Boats too crowded with kids friends in boat. How does it ski at 36 mph at 28-38 off mostly free skiing. I'm 54 but like 36 better than 34. Just got back from Shasta lake,CA need more room this looks like my best option. What's the best years and what should I look for not looking for a new boat.
