  1. FWIW, we finally splurged on the 1” Masterline ergo even though we prefer .94, don’t notice a difference, the extra 6/100ths of an inch may even be better. And we did have a skier with clincher style say he miss-grabbed but because of the full curve handle hung on to run his hardest pass -that’s worth any $$$ in my book.
  2. I try to save $$$ on ropes by getting them on sale or shopping around, however, THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST 1 IF NOT 2 BRAND NEW SETS READY TO GO.
  3. Ran this thing (all practice) about 3/4 thru season after a shoulder injury Awesome ski, still can’t believe I won it, super gracious of @Horton and @radar to contribute this way. Bringing new meaning to free skiing!! Thank you again!!
  4. I have had some heavy mold and mildew in 2 196’s There are 2 things that will wear on upholstery: mold and the stuff that kills mold. I use mold away and sometimes x-14 these are spray on, wait, and rinse thoroughly with water (hose usually) no scrubbing unless you want, I don’t. im not looking for showroom mint I’m just trying to get clean and preserve my seats twice I’ve removed a back seat in a 196 only to find massive black mold build up on the gas tank. Took apart trunk to as to access rear of gas tank. Removed that and had less trouble down the line too. And of course avoid moisture which is tough if you like waterskiing.
  5. @ColeGiacopuzzi dp you think this 1/4 inch compensation applies to the difference in base shape between a 2021 Vapor carbitex and the 2022 new hard shell style Vapor? Thank you.
  6. Thank you! Gave it another ride -was just me, it feels great.
  7. Briefly, maybe need more time but base of new Vapor binding is different length than previous models just curious if that’s a factor.
  8. For 66 29.25 is stock but seems backy to me, anyone have any different measurements?
  9. I too am looking at going from old Vapor binding to new and wondering if there is compensation for the measurement the new base is definitely smaller
  10. Got a couple pin holes that I will tape before she goes in, I left it up for the winter, for some reason it seems to almost shed wind? Is that a thing? I would do it again, now that we know how.
  11. @Andre oh yeah it works, in fact I have exact same canopy frame this thread starts with -and it’s frankensteined onto a shore station lift (not a shore master) best friend came over and we knocked it out There’s thicker stuff too I’m sure you know
  12. D3 Fusion 66, pull with right arm to 1, left arm to 2 and so on. Could start with a rodeo and finish with a symphony.
