Yes the water sports include deepwater salom ski starts for me and regular waterskiing an tubing for the rest of the gang. I am 190lbs and old. I used to start from a dock with 10 feet of slack laying in the water and would just yell HIT IT for a real rocket of a start, and come back after an hour or so (needed to gas up boat) and catch the dock and only get wet to about the knees..... THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW!!! But I am not laying down yet. I thought about wakeboarding until I read about all of the hard landings so I decided to go with what I know, Skis. Got a good pair of O'Brien combo skis and I am looking forward to hurting my self on the lake. Thanksmine pulls me out in under 2 secs and i am 180 - 190 lbs - we just knock the boat in forward and then go about 75% throttle and you'll be up... good luck - this is mono ski deep water starts i assume youre asking about

Thanks for all of the input. I have since put 3 hours on the boat and I am very impressed with this little rocket ship. The Hydro Turf has arrived and will be installed today. (Black Molded Diamond) I will be taking the boat up to Saranac Lake in Upstate NY later this week to finish the break in period. I have boated on the Fulton Chain Of Lakes in Inlet, NY for years but I am trying the Saranac Chain of lakes this summer, there are 4 lakes with locks that connect them with miles of water to check out, I live in NJ where the lakes are crowded with wacko's so I am looking forward getting up state. She handles well for her LWL and is a blast to drive. How well does she do getting a 200 lb skier or wakeboarder up on deepwater starts? I will be giving that a try after the break in is done. Bimini is ordered and coming in soon. I will post some pix after return from the lake. Thanks again.
