It was a HUGE relief to find out it was something so simple!
I know what you mean about a ski machine! My current boat can pull me up on slalom pretty easily. However, not nearly as easy as an actual ski boat for sure! The biggest thing is that the wake on my boat is RIDICULOUS! I just can't slalom as hard as I want to with the big wake. I think it will sell easily early next year as wakeboarding is such a popular sport now!
