  1. If Jacinta Carrol or her surrogates are reading, I would like her to know I had my boy listen to that two hour podcast more than once last year for the express purpose of hearing what it takes to be the best on the planet at your sport. She's one of the all time great female athletes in any sport, IMO, even if the masses are not aware of waterski jumping generally. So, big time tip-o-the-hat to Jacinta Carrol.
  2. When Iron Mike was mowing down chump after chump in 3 seconds flat he was still the baddest man on the planet. Jacinta mowed everyone down for over a decade. You can't ask for anything more.
  3. Thanks! I had the app on the Apple TV but it wouldn't like stream. So this is a help.
  4. @MIskier, I have done that on the first cut, first ride on a new ski when I mismeasured the binding setup. I ended up eating the the tip, damaging the ski with my teeth, and needing dental work. So I feel your pain. Two conditioning free-ski rides Yesterday, air 50ish, water 42. Looking forward to next weekend; after 5 straight days of rain and wind we are supposed to get a big warm up and very little wind.
  5. Don't forget the Ski Brendella! (Started using an MC hull mold IIRC).
  6. What size? I hit a dry 194 today and have a 67" coming. I am motivated to keep cutting into the 180s. Although I got two free-ski sets in on the '24 68" vapor today in 42 degree water and even in the miserable cold water this ski feels like a real winner.
  7. Check the motor mounts and make sure it's secure and there's no cracks, etc. Grease the rudder and check all the running gear/throttle/steering connections. These things all wear out and you want solid and smooth inputs from the helm to the propeller and rudder. And get a wrench on the ski pylon bolts and make sure it's tight. IMO.
  8. I love that Dewalt is advertising on the broadcast.
  9. Don't forget to drive the boat. Lots of boats are great from the handle but the driver needs to put it down the middle and be comfortable doing it. And as the boat ages so does the steering and throttle (unless that has been replaced) and other items. I ski behind some well taken care of old boats, but there is a wide, wide range of conditions of these boats as they age.
  10. Are you on a 67 or 68? It needs to get a little warmer before I play with settings but I will come back to this thread in late April.
  11. Edit, g*d damn it, typing too fast and thinking too slow. short/deep. 2.500/6.845/.760/30 1/4
  12. I got the new vapor set up long/deep and stock binding settings; now if it wasn't mixed snow and gale warnings out I'd take her for a spin. 😞
  13. I have a 67" coming mid march to try. And I am going to cut some between now and then so thanks for the encouragement.
  14. @lefty he's been on a version of a Senate as long as I can remember and now on last years Senate Pro. Not sure what he's demoed or not demoed. He's around 175 IIRC with some seasonal fluctuation upward a bit on 67. So light to middle of the size chart. Which is one reason why I wish there was a 68 senate to try for my 200 lbs. frame (196 last night before carb up yeah!).
  15. Better yet, listen to all of them, over and over again. 🙂
