@tlarocque, how does that Sprinter tow? I like the idea of that rig, just not sure about its towing abilities.

Wow, those are some good looking passes @Horton. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks @Gloersen. Looks like you got it up and viewable. I will try that next time.

Trying to figure out the embedded video right now. I'll fix it as soon as I figure this out. I'm technically challenged....

https://youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=nJenJsXT0_I This is my 28off/34mph pass. Haven't had much coaching. It is amazing the difference between what you think you look like and what you look like on video. I really feel like I am skiing with a good stack, but based on the video I think it could be better. Perhaps a bit wider at the pull out. I am running this pass about 50% of the time and feel like I am so close to getting it 90%. 32 is another story and giving me fits. I think this pass is really bringing out my shortcomings at 28. Thanks for the advice.

Very cool video. This is what I'm living for.

@foxriverat, I have tried to contact that guys twice and no response. @bigskieridaho, thanks man. Let me know what you find.

I'm trying to help a friend get his boat back in working order. Its a 2003 Ski Nautique 196. Thought I'd check with you ballers in case you might have some old parts laying around that you want to sell. Thanks! What we are looking for: Acme 422 prop 3 Tracking fins Shaft (I think 1" X 49-1/8" single taper) Rudder with Trim Tab Strut (s-12)

@horton, I am trying the exact same thing. Miami Nautique green gloves and a 1.092 masterline handle. Will be interesting to see if my hands do better.

Very cool. How fast was he going?

Can you post a picture of your boot so we can see what your talking about?

@moski, I had a 2004 197 and now have a 2012 txi. When I was looking for a new boat, the wife had to have an open bow and a padded trunk to lay out on. So that took the ski nautique 196 and 200 out of the equation (my two favorites). In my opinion, the 197 was great, but the txi is even better. I'm a 34mph 22-28 off skier, and didn't have any complaints regarding the wakes on the 197, but the txi wakes are noticeably better. I do love the lines on the 197 though, one of the sexiest boats in my opinion.

Glad we could do it @bigskieridaho. Hopefully next time the fisherman will find another place to fish. I don't get it, I've never seen anyone catch anything larger than a 6" perch in that cove.

I got a cell phone ticket a couple years ago in Portland. Everyone here drives so darn slow, I guess they have to give cell phone tickets to make revenue. ;)

@gmut, I'm on a 68. Feels great so far, freeskiing.
