I want the ski to big enough and relaxed enough so that the boat passengers are more uncomfortable going across the water than me! ha!

I know no matter where I go with my parents on their boat, we can never seem to find glass waters. I think mainly because we don't get up early enough, but I digress. If I am going to ski, I need a big ski (since I am a big boy, 6'1", 260 lbs) and I need it to handle chop fairly well.

East TX, does that say MAHA? What is the model?

No way I can afford that. The HO is like $380 or something. I think I heard triumph thrown out there. How much is one of them?

You can New 2010 Triumphs for about 170 no bindings. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-Triumph-W...f9ec226&_uhb=1

I offered $170 and won.

This is the recreational version of the Maherajah Longboard, which I can't seem to find on his site at the moment. It's 7 feet long, has a 1.5" side cut, and cuts through chop at up to 45 mph like it's not even there. It came with 150' of ski rope, which is fantastic.

If I recall, price with front highwrap and a rtp with case was about $800 in 2004. Will keep the ski for the long term.

Looks fun, but I think it will be a while before I can afford something like that.
