    Now I'm in a quandary. SN200 vs TSC1

    I couldn't go ski the resto-mod TSC1 waiting on that electronic distributor part. But I figured out a hack, that if I run the boat, let it sit for an hour, the RPM signal is good and we can ski!

    So we did a back to back test of the TSC1 vs the 200. Went with the TSC1 and we had an amazing set. My ski buddy declared his best set of the year. I am revving 3200 RPM at 55 km/h and top speed is 75 km/h. When I get my stereo hydro-gates installed the wake will be insane.

    Then we took the 200 out and what struck me is what a commotion this boat is. Revving at over 3800 to hold 55 km/h, the geyser fountain coming of the hydro gate and Zero off bouncing around like a frenetic first date. Coming out of the turn and hooking up the 200 is a more stable platform I have say. But when I get my gate plates installed on the TSC1 that should plant boat better for side-side.

    And the TSC1 performance is over the top. Wicked power from the GT40 in the revised spec. With my EVA foam additions, quieter too.

    The 200 space is nice, we can ski with 4 people something that is not really doable in the TSC1

    I can't keep two boats, so I have advertised both. Not sure what to keep :O

      IMO the best slalom wake was the 99 and up 196 only to be topped by the 200. I currently own 3 [ 86,92,97] Supra comp TS6Ms I would trade 2 of them for a 196 or 200.

          Quandary solved! I was in process taking a few pix of the SN200, wife insisted we keep that one as it's best for our kids - when they come back to visit. Our youngest is off to university, so I figured I had free rein. Having said that we used the 200 for his summer party it was insanely fun. Tubing, boarding.

          The 200 has a very wide platform and low draft. I already have an LIon battery, pulled the subwoofer and back seat complete (150lbs ish) As an experiment if you remove the grid, motor box and floor panel (~200 lbs) and go for spin, the wake is sooo flat. Flattest I have seen on any boat, ever.

              In regards to your ZO behavior- that doesn’t seem right, I wonder if you need an upgrade or a new puck. I know at some point they changed from a 2 puck set up to 1, which resolved some issues.

                  Yes I was just looking at the single antenna upgrade on the weekend. Likely my issue for sure.

                  I still like our idea of a strain gauge/rope force sensor, it's very smooth and more analogue of a pull. With ZO the boat hits rollers & the speed is jumping around.
