Re: Neighbor-friendly dawn patrol exhaust modification
I did something similar as the OP but spent a bit more doe to make it look stock. I have a 2008 MasterCraft ProStar X14 with the LY6 400 Hundo HP engine and it came with no cats in the manifolds and no mufflers. Seeing the brand new ProStars come with turn down tips, I researched the flange diameter and hole locations and found they an exact match to what I have. So instead of pulling the old tips, I modified the new tips and mounted them to the existing, and no digging into the boat. I does seem quieter from the drivers seat but have yet to ski it..

Re: Smith dropped from Team Nautique
@skinut You are asking why the public hasn't forgiven him, but also say, we don't know what he has done to be contrite, which is why there may not be a public forgiveness. The other issue is what @Jody_Seal brings up, people don't think the punishment fit the crime, so they won't support companies that support him. I think that is far from a dead horse.

Re: Smith dropped from Team Nautique
@skinut Forgiveness usually comes after contrition. I would disagree with your statement, I think Americans love a come back story, there will always be a portion of the population that will never forgive (dog lovers aren't exactly lining up to buy Michael Vick jerseys), but I think a more apt scenario might be Tiger Woods.

Re: Smith dropped from Team Nautique
Where many of us are on this subject are confused! Truly a double standard exists in this sport. They drummed ol Joe out of the sport for cheat driving.
As well as that dentist in the Midwest for cheating. Took all that guys records too!
Yet they tell us this person's offenses did not warrant permanent suspension or that the rules weren't in place during the time of the offenses.
Yet other permanent suspensions go back starting in 2012!
Guess those guys can't run 41??
Having personally seen the aftermath of the physical damage this guy caused in Australia should have alone sent this skier off to another adventure in life away from this sport.
Yet a slap on the wrist two year double secret suspension for targeting minor age females for who knows what. Now let's approve this person for a seat on the USAWS board.
Double standard for sure. Money talks! Bullshit walks!

CANT YOU PEOPLE LET THS DIE. The horse has been beat to death.
Re: Smith dropped from Team Nautique
@kmenard Define contrition, how do you know if someone has been contrite? Has anyone had a personal conversation with Nate and found how he really feels or what he's done to change his behavior? I'm guessing no, so we just make judgements not knowing what a person is really going through. Look, I'm not defending anyone, I'm just saying we need to forgive and forget with humankind. Our world is a much better place when we leave hate and vitriol out of our lives. Interestingly enough, those are truly the only things we can control in our world, how we choose to react.

Re: How to ski near your PB in every tournament - find your PB body weight
I hope to put this theory to the test this season. Lost 10 lbs last year but didn't get to any tournaments. Back to college HS & college weight. But as @skiboyny pointed out at my age(last couple yrs of M6) I have lost some muscle mass. The loss of 10lbs did seem to help w XC ski endurance and uphill climbing while BC skiing. Fingers crossed for Water ski benefits. Hasn't snowed in almost 2 weeks, hop to have the boat in and start skiing this weekend!
