WS 06 Buyer's Guide

[Ryan]

What do you think of WaterSki Mag's new buyer's guide?

I need to see a picture or the contraption they used for evaluating wakes. I still don't totally have my head wrapped around their explaination.

I miss the online videos. I like the extra stuff, but it's a lot to click through and wait for (ex: 360 view - waiting for 15 images to upload).

I think that wake chart it awesome! I too would like to see what they used to measure it..

anyof you look at the X-80, that wake must be like hitting a wall!

i like that they included some base prices to satisfy my curioisty . i did not like how some of the boats ended up split between two pages, makes it hard to get a good look. aslo i dont like that there is only one photo. didnt last years give more than one?

i was surprised to see how much the base svfara svone was. i would think if your going to compete with the big three , you need to be priced below until you make a name for yourself. i was also suprrised how inex*****ve the moomba outback is. i know its a price point boat , but its way cheaper than anything else. must be pretty crappy.

I really liked the MSRP's too.

[edit] ok, you should have been able to vote more than once.

MSRPs were an improvement. But it's still not as good in a straight forward kind of a way as what they gave us 13 years ago. Just rate the categories 1--5 stars.

Yeah, yeah, I know, they're afraid they'll lose ad revenue. If that's really their best excuse, I'd like to change my vote.

They didn't use Stars they used Props. They are more nautical you know.
