  1. Reduced price and a free EZ course! $14,500 for a solid tow boat - 500hr engine & trans, just over 100hrs on new upholstery.
  2. Yep, have to start somewhere - make an offer. I'm done skiing so plenty of wiggle room on price. And think of all the hours of fun with the Instaslalom course :)
  3. And it comes with an instaslalom course :)

  5. I remember mornings like that at "Polson Bay" coming in for first pass. Long ago but love this pic :)
  6. I'm looking for Exo binding mounts (front clip n rear DIN that hold the bar). If you have a set to sell plz let me know thx.
  7. Appreciate the input! The ads for those skis sound about right and bigger is probably better. I'll stay with the Frankenstien'ed Exo's and see what happens.
  8. I remember never getting hurt at 28/30mph and having a blast getting regular at -32 & making a few -35. I will be slowing the boat down this summer. Your thoughts on skis that would do well at 30mph? Thx. (185#, 6'2" older guy)
  9. A little early to dread winter but I need to have a winter plan. Anyone know of February waterskiing spots near Anza, CA.? Last February here averaged -2.6F for the month. I don't think I'll stay for that again. Thx, Matt.
  10. OK I'm bored sitting at Mayo Clinic with a family member. Lots more fun thinking about waterskiing n this was a memorably fun day; boatload of friends in a vdrive n I ran a slow -32.
  11. http://youtu.be/Xu6OFWyYSE8 Here is the last time I saw any buoys, probably 4 yes ago. Made some progress over the years but slow speed n long line was just a lot of fun.
  12. No idea on speed - hand driven outboard. Probably -15 rope with a few knots :) Fun days, I think that was the third completed pass after a couple months of trying the course.

    Engine Knock

    Check compression. I had experience with cross-firing between cylinders twice due to head gasket leak between cylinders on 350's. Both times they presented normal operation until engine started doing some work. Both times at #8 n #6 cylinder. Hope yours is that easy!
  14. Foot got in with full throttle first gear power. Hit something submerged and I was in the water wearing the bike on my leg. Got it off by pulling the axle n using two crowbars to spread the swing arm. Glad I was on that particularly tired old 200cc bike - I think it could have been much worse than fracture n sprain. Thx for good wishes, I get to see if it is "skiable" in the morning.
  15. Yea I guess "chasing cows" could mean beer goggles - funny! Gotta be careful how I phrase things. I had plenty of time laying in the river to take pics n wonder how long the day was going to feel.
  16. Just venting. So the 15th is 7months post C4-C7 fusion. Kids, grandkids have great week on the lake planned, I'm dreaming of floating the course. Ski buddies are lined up with time off. 2 days ago I do this chasing cows . Should keep me off my back foot. :)
  17. I think Tom King clarified "smear" 15 years ago.
  18. Huh, guess my doc just isn't a skier. Thx for the input, it's what I wanted to hear - guess I came to the right place :)
  19. I'm scheduled for C4-7 fusion n L6-3/Pars defect repair. Any (skiing) docs here that think there should be skiing in my future? Hard to imagine a non-skiing lifestyle. Thx.
  20. Asked that question this morning - answer was drill to fit to an A3.
  21. Update on this to exonerate seller n mfgr; my bad - Exo boots adjust lots of directions. The bindings I used on one model of step bottom ski was about 1/2" back and canted very differently from the set used on a different step bottom model. I remember spending time trying to make the skis feel similar without a lot of success. Fins were almost 0.030 diff length too. With carefull attention to setup both skis are more fun than I have had in a long time, I wouldn't be able to guess which one I was on.
  22. I can't see where the blemish is in either ski. Didn't measure the a actual length of the ski, sticker does claim to be the same. Brought it back to home base tonight, will try it here.
  23. Thx but I think too "radically" different for water properties to explain.
