    06 196 Princeton Lakes

    My new boat came in while Ive been working in Louisiana. A friend picked it up for me and had it waiting on my lift for me to see over
    Thanksgiving. I put about 1/2 hour on it. I was disapponted to find there were tears in the bottom cushion of the back seat from the pins that hold down the gas tank cover down. I think they will need to figure out something else now that it isn't carpeted. It drives like a dream after a little adjustment to the rudder. Very basic boat, SE edition, hydrogate, radio, and teak platform.

    Glad you're happy with it!
    What lake do you use? When I go with my Uncle and cousin who live in Garland we go to Lake Lavon. Well, they go there all the time... They have a 96 SN

          I just talked to my cousin, he said he knows a family that lives on the Princton lakes too and they have a Nautique. Their last name is Miller and they did have a blue and white (I think sport), but they just got an 05 SN this summer.

            Hydro-Gate

            G-man,
            I just picked up 06 196 Friday. Have not had a chance to ski behind it yet and I'm curious about the wakes. Does the Hydro-Gate work as advertised? What line lengths are you running?

              RE: Hydro-Gate

              tbennet It doesn't look like your in Texas, your lakes are full. Where are you? Like your colors what color is your pinstripe? Hydragate is fine from what I can tell in the boat. I haven't been behind it yet but pulled my friend into 32 off. I ski 15 off at a slow speed

                  G-Man, Nice boat, I have an 01 Ski white with Red "N" stripe. I work in Plano but live over in Farmers Branch. I keep my boat in Arkansas and ski up there on the weekends when I can. I'm saving up hoping to buy a lot out there at princeton. So much closer! You ever ski during the week? I have gas money

                    Ski Texas is south of Houston, private lake on a well to keep the full.

                    They were one of the first ski communities.

                      We have a well also, usally fall rains bring it up a foot from end of summer. In the spring the rains can bring it up so high we drain water out of the lake. This spring not much rain so we will probably turn it on early. We hosted a tournament for Baylor with schools from Oklahoma, Louisana, and Texas. They had a grat time and broke about 4 lake records.
