  1. Don't know of any courses on Sinclair. But just south of the lake off 441 is a private lake owned by Bruce Culpepper. I don't know if anyone is still skiing out there or not. Bruce's jump used to be on Sinclair. Stop by Dukes, grab a cold drink and give your karaoke skills a whirl. Downtown Milledgeville is a small college town with some good restaurants and nightlife. The lake itself is pretty quiet most of the time, except for holiday weekends.
  2. @skihard I just sold my home on Whitestone Lakes in North Georgia. As much as I wanted to "pay it forward" and sell it to another skier, I only had one skier contact me about the property. A non-skier bought it.
  3. @jhughes Maybe he needs to add "Nautique skiing" to this routine....
  4. @bishop8950 I've always heard that they wanted to get the "ballast" out of the rear of the boat for improved wakes and that moving the tank resulted in the V-drive set-up. Maybe someone on here really knows. One thing is for certain, the Infinity definitely had some outside the box design on it. That decreased drive shaft angle on the V-drive also resulted in more direct thrust. That thing would come out of the hole FAST. I also heard that they had played with the idea of doing a triple rudder on that boat as well
  5. Got my wife they Lyric as well. Can't go wrong there
  6. @scotchipman Earlier you said that you'd been suggesting to manufacturers for 5 years that they should move the gas tank in front of the engine. Well, this isn't a new thing in the world of ski boats. If anyone remembers Rob Shirley's Infinity boats circa 2000......gas tank was in front of the engine. My understanding is that this caused them to have to move the engine back and a direct drive wouldn't work, hence the center mounted V-drive. Interesting to see that idea come back almost 20 years later. Wonder what Nautiqe did to pull of the forward gas tank without sacrificing a direct drive setup. Second thought, as a taller driver, I definitely griped about the previous generation's seat height. The top line of the windshield was always in my line of sight. Glad to see that they've dropped it back down. However, if you've been used to driving 200's, I'm sure it'll take some time getting used to a totally different site picture to find your consistent center line!
  7. @Chef23 One can only hope! They do have young kids. It would be silly not to give it a whirl with 2 world class ski lakes, a jump, and 2 Nautique 200's in your backyard!
  8. Well, I was really hoping a skier would snatch this up. Under contract in 10 days to a non-skier.
  9. @cragginshred $1000 annual POA. $9 per set (6 slalom passes) covers everything else.
  10. @RAWSki No limit on the amount of owners per lot. Limit on lake rights per lot.
  11. @LakeOneSkier It is. Thanks! We put a lot into it and were planning to keep it indefinitely. Unfortunately, with a couple of nagging injuries, I haven't been able to ski since 2016. And now that my wife and I have an infant with plans for more, and both of our jobs now being based in Atlanta, getting to enjoy it like we were planning just hasn't panned out.
  12. @Brady Sounds tempting. Just not sure how MY wife would feel about that. haha
  13. Here you go @UWSkier . A video is surely worth more than 200 photos ;) The house makes an appearance through the trees at 3:18
  14. The photos are supposed to pique your curiosity, not satisfy it! Ha
