hmm, the new fish and ski xstar!

Excellent use of your boat, especially when traveling. Do it all. My friends call my Sky Ski the "Sushi - Maker". That's the only fishing we do. Technically, catch and release.

In fact anything you want, barefoot, Slalom, Wake board, wake skate, Wake Surf, Kite surf, kneeboard, anything with a rope.... Trolling for walleyes, Northern, Bass fishing the shallows, or chasing the big ones in TX on the ocean.... my mastercraft has been there and we have DONE That! so come try and take it away from Me I dare you! Saylorville Lake Johnston IA... 5:45 AM about any morning I will meet you there ;o)

Touché bignicolet. I just couldn't help but dig into you a little. All in good nature. If you had put that trolling motor on the front of a boat that has the engine in the proper location (the middle) I wouldn't have gone as easy on you and would have meant it. But since it is on a v-drive, hey, have a ball. It's your boat and you make one heck of an argument for having that thing on there. As for the footin and slalom challenge, bring it on

Also, ever had any problems with running your prop and rudder into things when fishing the bank? What's the shallowest water you will fish?

Not really, I have bumped into things before but nothing that has caused any damage. Typically if I see rocks on the bottom I stay clear. The trolling motor has a 5 ft shaft so it starts hitting before the rudder to let me know. I can get into 3 foot or so I suppose.

Pretty weak CP, you came out storming then folded. Would Ron do that?

I'm so heading to walmart tomorrow morning to get one.

Boat owner, it's your boat but you're gonna have to deal with the ribbing for a long, long time.

No problem, I wish I had a few more prostars around to ride in, I leave my ski in my buddies PS 205 and if you were closer we would riding together, I might even make a wake boarder or surfer out of you, or worse yet you might try fishing when it is too windy....

Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't be a plick all the time, and like I said the engine is I the wrong place to really get official with my criticism.

Hey, you are your own person and don't care what the rest of society thinks, and I admire that. However I can't see photos of your boat and remain silent, it isn't in my nature.

I used to wake board all the time, but once I learned I can't get my arse over my head to do any cool tricks I rediscovered footin and rarely get on the wakeboard anymore. My buddy has an X2 so we surf and it is fun. But I'm old school, slalom and footin are my thing.

you are welcome to come to our lake anytime

Here is what my boat looks like most of the time... since Captain Planet is going to put one on his prostar at least make it look nice. And you can't find these at Walmart. Minnkota makes a white quick disconnect which takes 5 seconds to remove. I expect to see a flurry of trolling motor pictures on the team talk site now.
