Hey hardcore ski

[Morg]

I have noticed that your avatar & your signature, both show a slallom skier behind a tourny boat. What is the best boat you've ever skied behind?

Hey Morg, What is the fastest boat YOU'VE ever skied behind???

[Ian]

I know I'm not hardcore ski but before I got into flatbottoms I did quite a bit of tournament skiing. At the tournaments I skied behind just about every boat made and I can tell you the best wake is behind older Mastercrafts. As far as today's boats I would say the best boats are the Malibu Response, The Mastercraft Prostar 190 and the Ski Nautique. Their are other great boats out there, such as the Tige and the Infinity, but as far as craftsmanship, fit and finish and wake the three boats I listed above are the best.

Ian,
Although I agree with your awnsers as far as the tourney boats go, My personal favorite is the Tigr'e. But I am trully disapointed. If you trully call yourself a tournement skier, you should know that you are building the absolute best boat to ski behind.
"The best boat I've ever skied behind was a Flatbottom v-drive" -Bob Lapoint
If you ski behind a tourney boat, & then behind a flat you will trully have to change the way you ski because of the lack of wake. It screwed my timing all up. Take my advice, put a ski tow on the beast.

Hey Morg, What is the fastest boat YOU'VE ever skied behind??? Here I thought this was going to be a exciting topic :p . I think we should ask the Bolt Nazi what the fastest boat he tubed behind eek! , or at least attemped too :D :D :D , before he took flight!!! :cool:

[Ian]

I know exactly what you mean Morg, flatties do by far have the smallest wake :D but they were not designed with slalom skiing in mind. Tournament boats are better to ski behind because they track better (three tracking fins) and your not able to pull them around as much (pole in the middle of the boat). Hell who am I kidding flatties are better wink , where else can you ski with the scent of race gas in the air

Me too Billy, I had the popcorn warming! JeRk

I think it would be cool to put someone on a tube with a chute jacket and get them going close to a hundred and then have them pull the cord. I have a friend that will do it, now we just have to get Roger Martin's jacket when he's not paying attention! I can see it now he'll be on shore bustin up when we do it, untill we hand him his jacket and tell him to repack it so we can try again. jawdrop

Morg. The boat that spoiled me the most was a 1972 18ft outboard Tahiti bubble deck. Now I'm behind a 95 Malibu Response. That I bought new. Believe it or not It compares to the Tahiti. The boat came with a 3 blade prop. I switched it over to a 4 blade, and it made a huge difference. There's alot less prop wash, which just down right makes a sweet wake crossing.
1995 for Malibu was a new generation of ski boats, however they were geered mostly towards slalom skiing. Unlike the new models that lean towards wakeboarding. My boats alot shallower and flater than the new ones, which makes for a rougher ride on choppy water.
The craziest boat Iv'e ever skied behind is my buddys Sanger jet hydro eek! What a ride! :D

It was at folsom lake, and we wipped his ass right infront of 5 percent beach at about 80mph :D He got the standing O when he launched.

Hey Ian what about a 91 Ski Centurion Falcon. They make a small enough wake.
