      I do see a lot of prop wash behind the boat going back 10-15 foot and then it calms down.

      The skier is very good. I don't know what line length but he definitely has turning as if they were no effort.

      I have skied behind the 99 NC Sport 230 Maristar and it is okay for recreational skiing but is very hard to make a full run thru all buoy's. Just too much rough water at the wake entry, I know I have easy of turn so I could absorb the shock of hitting the wake pulling hard. When pulling hard many a face plant occurred
      75'. Although we usually run 15' off.

      The abnormal spray is from the FAE. It doesn't appear to effect the wake. At least, not perceptibly. I love hearing the ski rip through the water.
      You'll get your chance, smart guy.

            Right now I am hoping to just be able to get up on my damaged knee. I am also looking at getting a hyperlite low cost Hydrofoil for $675. Is a beginner model that you can retrofit with more agressive foil as you need to and other options.

            I figure if I learn how to foil I can sell it off to someone in the $500 range in a couple of years and then upgrade.

            Every friggin thing I want to do on the 20V is emptying my money pit. This year because of job situation I may back down to FAE and Sox and call it a year.

            A foil and rack would run over a grand and that aint happening this year.

              I still have one of those yellow bottom Jobes in my garage if he ever needs a new one. 64" or 66" (I think)[/QUOTE]

              I still have my yellow bottom Jobe as well. 66" with a black metal top. That said I'm on a 69" O'Brien now. Perhaps the xtra weight has something to do with it
