I weigh around 175 depending on the day and being old it seems to fluctuate.I seem to be right on the bubble when choosing between 66 or 67 ski.I seem to choose the 67 more and I am curious to what are the benefits for a longer ski.I have heard that a longer ski gives you more surface area and you won't tire out as fast.So ballers help me out on this issue.....Whats better for an old guy...I only open water ski at 34 to 36 mph depending on conditions

Just curious any ballers skiing this ski.I think I did a demo on this ski back in 2020 and did not like it. I assume they have changed this ski since 2020 and I can buy a new one for less then a used one.Any skier input would be most appreciated I can at least have it in my boathouse as a backup ski.I am currently skiing a 2023 KD platinum and like it however always looking for new skis to enjoy......thanks

Is anybody tried the bent handle made by slines? I like the ropes and have been using us gear and intow handles.Just curious how their handles work and compare to the other ones.Any info would be appreciated......

I bought in 1999 and retired in 2001 and was skiing everyday.I pretty much had the lake to myself.Since 2020 due to the pandemic and civil unrest all of the lots are sold and more people are here full time in the summer.Its way too busy to ski at times......

How do these compare to the stokes vest?? I need a new one......Any comments will be appreciated

I have bought and sold all of the older boats and one of my favs would be my 2001 GEKKO GTR.Fantastic wake at all line lengths and you can buy one and it won't drain your bank acct.....

Looks decent probably a good buy for a great boat......

Big price difference between your choices.I would decide on a price and take your time and get the boat you want.However I think you need to drive and ski the different boats.I have owned many older boats and they all seem to handle and ski differently and we all have likes and dislikes........

@LarryG Thanks for the website really use it and enjot it.....Will make a donation

You are one lucky guy.....Beautiful boat

@Lebow-ski Sent you a msg........

This is probably a beautiful home on a Great Lake priced to the mkt.Look at the number of people moving to Florida and the demand for housing.I live on a beautiful lk in northern Minnesota and our recent sales are at $1 million and over.With buyers coming from other states with cash to enjoy our short summers on all of the lakes.Housing prices are high.........

For me IThink you have to test as many skis that you can.Its probably difficult to do however when you get that right fit you will know it.....66 or 67. and which brand and model will work for you.

@LeonL Carbon pro I think is a great boat and you can buythem for a lot less.And yes boats are still priced high since the pandemic.

I live in northern MN. and always ski into October.However this yr I had back problems in August and Sept and missed 3 1/2 wks of skiing.My last ski day was sept 21 and I had surgery on my hand on Oct 5th.I now have a cast for a month and rehab to follow.So for me not the best ski season......
