Congratulations Tkl127!!

Thank you for all your comments!! No first year design and production flaws. Plenty of power. We have a 1900' lake with turn islands. Pulled a 36mph skier with plenty of time for the speed control to engage before the greens.

Base engine

Thankfully 5 figures and it helped having a 2015 Pro Star(all available options) with 130 hours as a trade.

All who have skied behind my new SN are staying with their normal setting.

I was fortunate to get a lottery spot back in April for one of the first production Ski Nautiques. Back in 2014, I ordered without driving nor skiing behind the new Pro Star, selling my 200. What a mistake that was. I had speed problems getting up to speed into the course, steering problems and other things. I let the 200 go early to a friend several weeks before the Pro Star was to be delivered. I missed my 200 from day 1. Problems continued and I will give Mastercraft great credit as they built me a new 2015 and took my boat back. While the 2015 had many improvement's, I still missed my 200. I want to thank Matt Rini for taking time to talk with me about the differences I would see with the new SN. He described what tracking difficulties I was having and how the new SN would be very much like my old 200. He did not over sell and stated that the tracking was as good and maybe slightly better than the 200. This is true. All my ski partners at our lake have 200's so it's easy to compare. Everyone who has skied behind it really likes it. It is the best wake I have experienced and drives great. The SN is very well designed. The new screen is quite stunning and very easy to navigate. On pull settings, most everyone is using their setting from the 200's. I am very glad to have a boat that tracks and skies like one would expect. Will done Nautique!! I want to also thank N3Boatworks for treating me with excellent service and giving me a fair trade price.

To me and others, there is no noticeable wake difference between the OEM 4 blade and the new 3 blade.

No word on what is expected. The hole shot is much better and acceleration is noticeable better. Mastercraft is still working on my performance issue. I was surprised only -1mph on the top end. It seems like rpm's at WOT should be higher.

Indy is approximately 800 feet mean sea level.

I'm pretty sure most knew, but for those who didn't, I have the 5.7L

My passenger took some pictures of various speeds as well as WOT. I just received from Mastercraft 14x13.0 110 Cup 3 Ski Pro V-3. BTW, WOT with the OEM 4 Blade was 42.0 mph per GPS and I forgot to note the RPM'S.

34.2 was 3950-4050 depending on zero off adjusting for the skier. I will report 36 and WOT. My WOT without a skier, naturally, GPS was 42 with the OEM four blade. It looks like I have a version 3 manufactured July 1.

Hole shot solved. The outs are very close to my 2011 Nautique. Faster acceleration and no adverse wakes while running 3-400 more rpm's.

I just received from the MC factory a 14x13.0 110 Cup 3 Ski Pro V-3 and will report hopefully tonight if the weather cooperates.

A slight correction, the bolt that is on the end of the rudder shaft is threaded and needs to be tight on that shaft. The shaft is threaded so the bold can be tight without any movment.
