TSC3 Hull???

[SGY]

Just reading the press releases and noticed that the 196 has the TSC3 hull. What is this? Is it the hydrogate or are there other changes to the 196 hull? The 206 release still says TSC2 hull. So, what gives?

I know of a small change to the hull of the 196. There is a post about it in the Off Topic section by Mid-Ohio Watersports.

Here's a picture of the 2006 196 that has just been released by Correct Craft.

Jeff, I looked in the off topic from MOW, but nothing is there. Can you spill the beans?

I think this is what Jeff was talking about.

66Skylark, Yes they have made some small changes to the hull. The information is leaking out slowly so I am not sure if they will rename the hull or not. I was told that the lifting strakes have been removed. When we get more information I will pass it along.

It looks like a '99. I think I still like my '02 better.

The 196 and 206 both have the option of adding the hydrogate. The 196 goes to a TSC3 hull because they have removed the lifting strakes from the back half of the hull.

Skinautique, so what the purpose of removing the lifting strakes? Will the wake be smaller, softer, etc. Or will the boat just track better? What's the scoop? Have you skied behind one yet?

Anyone got any photos of the new TSC3 Hull on the 196? Would love to see a photo of the hull without lifting strakes.

The biggest thing that they are after is a clean trick table. Between the removal of the strakes and the hydrogate, this has been achieved. I haven't skied this boat yet (soon though) but I would imagine you may only see suttle differences in the way it skis. Driving shouldn't be effected at all either.

Cool. Thanks SN. Looking forward to your review once you've had a chance to ski behind the TSC3

I'm interested to know if they have drive by wire this year. One the the guys I ski with need a lot of throttle to get up to speed in a short setup and I'm afraid DBW might not have the acceleration of a cable. It has been noticed on the MC's seem slower to get up to speed.

The whole line up will have throttle by wire. Getting up to speed is not an issue with they system that PCM is using. Can't speak for any other company though.

This is prob a stupid question and sry for hijacking this, but whats thottle by wire and the dif. btw it and what CC has been using...

[skinautique]

The previous engines had an actual throttle cable that was used to accelerate. On the new engines, you will still see a cable but they are using electronic sensors to accelerate and decelerate. Hope that helps a little bit.
