Updated: Got Her Done

For those who saw and commented on my post lamenting the new graphics....I got her back yesterday and I absolutely FLOVE it!

I also had the front windows tinted to match the rest. And System X Phantom ceramic coating put on. Its a brand new lifetime coating by system x. I was their first customer with it and they too loved how my Bronco looked with the new graphics and asked if they could use it in a new promotional video on the social media page promoting the new product.

Thanks to all who commented. 98% said they liked/loved it which made me feel better moving forward. And even the 2% who said it wasn't their thing were cool about it. I appreciate the honest responses both ways.

Slalom help

Looking for some advice. I am a 52 year old female skier and good athlete. Been slalom skiing since I was 15 but never lived on a lake so just a few times each summer. I primarily skiied behind a 2001 Four Winns Horizon 170 I/O 135 hp. In 2018 we bought a place on a lakr and always wanted a Mastercraft and getting older figured it should make my starts easier with more power. So last year we bought a beautifully kept 2010 Prostar 197 TT. To my surprise I really struggled to get up. Now I did make the transition the prior summer to getting up with both feet in as I was always a drag a foot girl. So I hadn't really perfected that yet as it was pretty much self taught by trial and error. I made the switch mostly due to age figuring two legs doing the work had to be easier than one right? On the other side of that, my husband had only ever towed me in the Four Winns. It was the ol "hit it" and put the hammer down so a new learning experience for him as well. My question is at 5'10" and 155 lbs would you tow/start someone at my size any differently then say pulling someone on 2 skis? My husband says hes backed way off but when we went out on the lake the other day I asked him to demonstrate and I feel like it still may be a little too much too fast.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tips for me as well.

I tried all kinds of different starting tips. I found the being in a tight ball didn't seem to work that well for me as I often got pulled over the front of yhe ski too easily. I seemed to be better off keeping a very upright back and really applying alot of pressure to my back foot. Is that crazy, or is it basically whatever works best for you?

Thoughts?

My custom graphics came in. They are 4 inches top to bottom. Ain't gonna lie they are bigger than I thought because they did the middle bar bigger than I expected. In general, it is what I want but wondering now if I should have done 3 inches.

for some reason they look proportionaly larger in person than in the pictures. 🫪

Smoke...The worst I've seen

On Spider Lake just outside TC. The last 3 years have brought hazy days due to fires in Canada but today is the worst I have seen so far. It literally looks yellow outside and you can smell the smoke in the air.

Capable Bumper

I have not had any luck searching for a capable front bumper locally/on marketplace. So I am considering going through Ford parts. However doing a basic search does not pull up anything under capable bumper. Anyone know the part number?

Boat lift carpeted guide rail advice

We have a 2010 mastercraft prostar 197 and I am looking for advice on the height we should set our carpeted guide rails at. A google search says just below the rub rail but a more indepth search specific to our model boat says 7-8" above the bunk boards. This would put them considerably lower and below our graphics on the side. I'm fine with either just looking for some advice because maybe there is an issue with one or the other that I'm not thinking of.
