We didn't make it either. Scott just has Lasik. Before the surgery they said 1 week was fine, after the surgery they said 30 days before swimming. We didn't have time to fix the toy hauler, or the brakes on the Dodge diesel. Diesel is $4/gallon.
Plus we took the skis out (with the new Toyota Epic 22 and some ballast) and managed to DESTROY Scott's hull. (Scott was driving the boat) One of the guys at our shop was riding it, jumping the wake, landing vertical or beyond. He kept coming out of the footholds/tray...this was letting the hull drop and pushing the pole past the limit.
At first it just broke the nose piece.....then we saw the handle pole mount was cracked....then we saw the huge crack on the right side of the hull under where the pole bracket mounts.
We use what we call "lottery rules" when we ride. I don't care is my ski is 99% broken, if you borrow/ride it and it goes 100% broken then you get to pay for the repair. Matt antied up and Scott has a new hull on the way.
