Hi there guys!
Got the first dump of snow here (Stockholm area, Sweden, Europe) last week, but water is still warm enough for a few more runs. Thought this picture from friday was so 'Rude that I wanted to share it with the crowd here!

Maybe you need something warmer? Then have a look at a short boat/ski video I made this summer:

Thanks Magnus for that from Australia. Summer over here soon in New South Wales. Springtime now. Almost the whole country is in drought. Summer temperatures will be between +35C to +45C by January 2007. I will be thinking of you in all that snow while we are water skiing.

Great Ken!
Feel free to add this picture to your album, if you like it!

Sweet Pics Magnus!! Welcome back!!
I guess she is pretty light. Lots of lift.
She's got a jack plate & tabs.
Did you just jump a wave or does she take flight?
Nice Pic.
All uploaded onto the site Magnus. Give us some details. eg. Motor size, Boat length, performance figures, prop etc. She looks to be a good all round rig.

I believe I'm flying in to land in the picture!Take-offs look similar but should have more water coming off the hull.

Also tried Turbo1, Raker, TRO4, and Turbo 2+2. So far Mach works best! Raker 24" reaches similar speed figures, but handling is worse. TRO4 and Turbo 2+2 delivers good handling but has been a few mph slower.

Definately a good all rounder! We use it for waterskiing, transportation, cruising and as an overnighter. She's a grown up girl, built in 1969. Had to rebuild the stern in 2002.
