Wow.  Its in great shape, Congrats.  We've been wakeboarding behind my brother-in-laws 1997 Echelon with no bags for years now and even with a smaller wake we've had a ton of fun (and not ended up in the hospital, yet).

Great looking skier!! Hard to find them in that shape, or did you do a lot of work to it?

Well... I searched and searched online found that one about 4.5 hours from my house... It was in real good shape, I've just waxed the gel coat and conditioned the vinyl with 3M cleaner, and re conditioned/sealed the Teak platform... minor work on the trailer and its pretty much good to go for the summer! Thanks for the comments!

Thanks Steve! Carpet has not been replaced, and is in great shape, no tears rips or wear marks.

Nice boat! What tower is on that? I think that I will be adding one at some point this summer.

its a "big air tower" , came on the boat. Wouldn't recommend it tho. shakes a lot and is noisy when it is not pulling someone . Works fine but there are better towers on the market

Great to see other people enjoying their Skier's. I bought a 1990 skier last year that was in pretty rough shape and basically took it down to the stringers. Just installed a perfect pass about a month ago and couldn't be happier with the consistent tow.

I have recently had a 540lb fat sat with the back seat out last weekend and the wake was actually not too bad for wake boarding. Do any of you guys have any experience surfing behind the boat? And if so what are you guys doing to optimize the wake?

Thanks!! The boats primary use is wakeboarding and wakeskating.  I have a fly high pole setup and 700LB total weight, (350 each side). I can't speak on the surfing as it has not been tried yet, but the wake for boarding has been great thus far!

the guy notes there is two 500lb sacs

Looks great! We were out a few weeks ago and had a decent wave with two fat sacks "L"d to on the passenger side, however we had too small of a surfboard for the size of wake. Season is done now (In Canada) so I'll have to see if a bigger board will work for next year.
