WBLskier

Can anyone provide any info on this team? Have a daughter looking at colleges. Where do they train? Do they have access to a course all the time for training? Are they D1 or D2? Anything else worth noting? Thanks.

I have a freshman daughter in high school. She wants to ski in college. Anyone have a list of conservative colleges that have ski teams? Thanks in advance.

I tried resetting it. It can’t seem to slow the boat down. Couldn’t slow it down to 34.2 to set the baselines. Electronics seem fine.

Help me diagnose my perfect pass problem. I have a 98 Malibu Echelon with a Monsoon engine. I have the most recent PP software and run zbox. It has always been super dialed in. I let the kids use the boat and one of them who drives ZO all the time was taking a tricker at 15'ish and after PP engaged he put the throttle all the way down as you can with ZO. The next time I used the boat two things happened: (1) to get to 34 I had to put the throttle all the way open when that would normally get you to high 40's; and (2) the PP beeps like it is engaged but can't regulate the speed now. Somehow the throttle issue seemed to resolve itself (it feels the same now as before). I did the servo test and it looks pretty tight but does shake at the end of tightening up (not sure if it did that before or not)...so maybe servo broke? My other thought was the extra spring I have on it may have gotten stretched out, but that I believe is there to get it to hit speed faster not get it there entirely. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hit send too soon. If so please post a pic or message me. Thanks.

Has anyone made a rack for a bike to hold a trick or slalom ski while biking.

You need new pipe insulation to keep it from sagging between the boat gateway and the skier buoy.

Saw a 4’ snake by the dock in the water as my daughter skied there yesterday.

Does anyone have the address for the off site practice lake at nationals? Have practice sets there tomorrow but not sure where it is. Thx.

We are going to be staying in Marco island 3/13-3/20. Wondering how long the drive is to Eden to ski in the morning. I can google map it but kind of hard to know what traffic will be like. Anyone make that drive that would know? Thx.

Used market is strong but I sold two 89 pro stars for around 7k each 10+ years ago. That said they do hold their value well once they hit a certain age.

Actually I think mc was no wood in 87.

Wood stringers are a bad idea in an old boat. I would avoid them at cost. Should factor in maintenance too. Going to have way fewer maintenance costs with a slightly newer boat. 91 and up MasterCraft or 94 up Malibu.

A 91 or newer prostar 190 would be a way better boat than the Tristar. Way better. Or an 87-89 prostar is way better than a tristar. I owned two 89 prostars. Good boats that skied well. I still ski my friends 91 prostar and it has as good a wake as most new boats you will find but more spray.

I gauge the success of a summer weekend by hours in the boat and how many gallons of gas I can burn in my now 22 year old boat that runs like a top on its all original engine. I like to see the innovation but like electric cars I won’t have one any time soon.

@DW- I found it to have a big 22 off bump, a big wake at kids speeds, didn’t love the sight lines and it felt like it rolled a lot side to side on turns compared to my older boat. Not trying to knock it as they are great looking boats, but just my experience.

I meant to say realize this is sold.

I realize this is some, but curious about this year/model Malibu. How does this ski/drive/wake characteristics compared to say a 19txi? Compared to a 98/99’ish Malibu echelon or response? I’ve skied and driven the Lxi of around 2010 year and didn’t like it. Curious how this is different. Thanks.

Looks like a ton of wasted interior space.

Looking for suggestions for a spring break location for a family of four (kids 10, 13) for March. Skiing would be great but not a must. Thinking south Florida, Florida keys, Bahamas or Virgin Islands. Would love to be on the water. Open to houses for rent or resort. Want to park the car and be able to walk bike or boat to restaurants and things to do. Specific recommendations to locations houses or resorts would be appreciated. Thx.

If I was doing this I’d fill all the buoys half with water to lessen their buoyancy and less stress on the whole system. Disclaimer I don’t have a sinker course.

Are Utah lakes near Salt Lake City brackish from the salt flats? Wondering about corrosion on engine components and trailer etc. thanks.

Any reason I couldn’t put packing shrink wrap around the rub rail a couple times under the cover? It’s a white interior and I’m paying for it to be shipped so I doubt they’ll stop if it storms along the way.

It’s a 2018 txi. Cover that has the winch to get it super tight. Does that change anyone’s suggestions? If not Do I need to take any of the seats cushions out and haul separately so they don’t blow?

Not sure. Having it towed 1200 miles and worried about damage to interior with it off Or losing furniture driving 80mph. Wondering if the towable covers still present a risk of scuffing it up.
