Santa

Hey I got the stuff. Steve's product really works. I just sprayed my hull, waited a few minutes and hosed off. I had to use a soft cloth in a few spots. If I had a pressure sprayer, it would have worked without any rubbing. I'll post my before/after pics in a few moments hopefully - i'm having iCloud issues and can't find my pics anymore!!!!!!

Just ordered my supply too. Will post before / after pics.

Hey, try this one: http://www.boats4sale.pro/detail/us/nUnFCUUHPOnCHeUenmUH/Correct-Craft-2001-Ski-Nautique-Immaculate

Around 16K Canadian! Including trailer. I stole it.

Hey, Ski Nautiques from these years are absolutely amazing and will keep you happy for a long time. They really feel solid, they have a great wake (or lack thereof), they need very little maintenance and they are very quiet compared to other boats, a big plus for those early morning runs. Keep looking, eventually something good will come up. Keep a close eye on sites like Onlyinboards, and don't forget to browse local ads. Also check out PlanetNautique and CorrectCraftFan. I just found my '99 SN on a local ad and it only had 350 hours and was garage kept all it's life. It's like brand new. Good Luck!

I sure hope you don't sleepwalk...

I got a 2011 SN OB, and decided against the Team Edition after much thought and hesitation. I wasn't really interested in the LINC system, but got most other options that a TE would have. Difference was about 2,700$ IIRC. Never had any issues with my 200, so I can't think of any design flaws. I've owned a 196 (2007) prior to that and at my level (22 off) there is a very noticeable difference in wake. I would go SN200 any day! Good luck with your purchase.

That's a good question. I think this used to be the standard but folks are chilling out now. Probably for a lake where ther are a lot of skiers waiting, you still need to maintain a limit, but all of the places I've skied recently just tell you to go to your heart's content. However, I do find that even at the peak of my (short) season, there is a point where any extra passes are not doing me any good, but rather the opposite. Folks I ski with all agree that as you body gets tired, you unconsiously take a diferent, more defensive body position and then frustration sets in and you decline. So less can definitely be more, especially in this sport.

Ouch! Nice stunt on that second vid. Thanks for posting. Been wanting to go to Costa Rica Water Ski for a while.

Hello, I'm traveling to DC on business next Thursday to Saturday, with a bit of spare time here and there. I know this is early in the season, but would anyone know of a ski school or club that might be open so that I can catch a few sets while there. Thank you!
