Next step UMP... you need to get a portable ski course. You are on the way brother... Once you start skiing around those balls, there is no turning back! Especailly on a Monza! :headbang:

My girlfriend who skis way better than me, just dumped her new (1 year old) System 8 for a D3X5. She never got comfortable on it and just kept loosing ground...not to mention breaking her ankle skiing it.

My boyfriend has the X5 and I have to tell you I thought it was a little sluggish. Could have been that it was a 65.5 and I’m on a 66. I couldn’t get used to the HO (Monza) either..

Funny, I was thinking I'm going to break my neck skiing my Monza :cool: I'm going to tame it though, and when I do it's going to be awesome :worthy:

Bragging? I'd post more photos, but my boat is in such sad shape right now I'm embarassed to show it :o . Some day, I hope to post some "before and after" pics. New interior, buff the exterior, restore the trailer...

OK, Based on the first 9 pages of this thread I am probably going to get a System 8 after the new year. I don't have the time to read the other 15 pages of jack so I'll just put my question here in hopes someone can give me some suggestions.

I am 5'7", 190 lbs. I am currently on a 67" Mach 1 (yea, I know, old technology). Like I said, a System 8 is in my spring plans, the question is, what length. I read the arguments about length on other threads, but that guy was like 6'2" 230, so it didn't help much. Any suggestions?

[shepherd]

I weigh 190 lbs (and am 5'-11", though I don't know what height has to do with it). I'm skiing a 68" Monza. The System 8 that I had was also 68". Traded up from a 67" KD 7000, which I decided was too small for me - though it seemed perfect when I was weighing 170-180.

Hope that helps.

If you ski 34mph the 68" is ideal. If you ski slower(30mph) then bigger would be better.
