    Car Hood Boats

    LOL. We used to pull water toy type tubes behind the snowmobiles. Pile 4-6 kids on one tube, and the last one on was the winner. Looking back, I'm amazed none of us got hurt.

    Covid!

    Both my mom and MIL got AFIB shortly after receiving Covid boosters. Not 100% sure they were related to the shots, but seemed pretty coincidental...especially that it happened to both of them. Neither had issues prior.

    A need to vent moment

    Agreed. Well said aspeck. I also feel you did no wrong, tphoyt. I find in both business and my personal life to try to adhere to the rule of being respectful of others time. It's the one thing we can never get back. Some just have no respect for other peoples time...now more than ever it seems.

    Barefoot skiers?

    Haven't skied New Years in quite a few years. It's a ton of work, and I'm lazy. :p Just put all new interior in that boat last fall and new tunes. Skiing less and cruising more these days. Thanks for the reminder I haven't taken any pics of it on the water with the new threads. I found an...

    Boat Lift Question

    My cantilever Shore Station lift only has pulleys on the front (shore side) of the cradle. As dingbat stated, the other end is hinged and shouldn't need a cable.

    Barefoot skiers?

    It takes less power to pull up a barefooter on a deepwater start than a slalom skier. Your body is wider than a slalom ski and planes out easier. My boat has pulled triple barefoot deepwater starts. Deepwater start: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Akphq0vn-ggagkQwJL1S6NuN7Gva Triple footers...

    Rope snap back or recoil

    All waterski ropes have some stretch. HIgher end wakeboard and barefoot lines are non-stretch. Watch a slalom ski tournament. They all use shock tubes for a reason.

    Barefoot skiers?

    I competed barefoot 3 event for 15 years. Helped run 3 national championships and a world championship in 2016. I'm not a great skier, but do enjoy it a lot. I also skied a few barefoot figure 8 tourneys. Get someone who knows how to do it to help teach those that want to learn. Without a...

    Random

    My coworker once told me "Are you really even at the airport if you don't have a couple beers before your flight?" Words to live by. 🤣

    Outboard motor upgrade?

    Wake boarding would be fine. The boarder is 40-75' behind the boat, depending on the rope length. Wake surfing....that's a different story with a potentially bad outcome waiting to happen. I would never surf behind anything other than a direct or v drive ski boat. Maybe a jet drive, but I've...
