Please educate me.
What is difference in these older models? Are they about same length and width?

TS6M and Comp and Impulse are same hull--different models
Actually TS6M is the Comp-same thing.
Impulse is a version of the Comp-less frills I believe

TS6M means tournament ski 6 meters
there is 3.3 feet in a meter so 19 ft 8 inches.
Tradtionally tournament ski boats used to measure out at around 19 ft 6 inches
thus TS6M
at least this is my understanding of same

Yep. Exactly. I bought a '90 Comp way back then. Impulse was same hull without all the bells and whistles. Also had the 1:1 instead of the 1:23 power plus that came with the Comp.

The Econo-Comp.

Yup, like mine... I am a 1:1 transmission on my comp and that is original. I thought the 1.23:1 transmissions were more prevalent on the sunsports and such. Never heard of a comp having one.

Our 1990 comp has the 1.23:1 It was nice to learn what ts6m means,thanks. I had no idea it meant anything.

Maybe they switched to the 1.23 trans in '89 like Nautiques did?

My 1992 Impulse. I'm new with this so I'm still learning all about mine. I haven't found much about the Impulse. Hopefully more people can speak out.

Lots of transmission talk on this thread - slight highjack...
How do you identify what transmission you have?
Thanks!

There should be a plate on it with some numbers, etc.

Nice looking impulse 03... I don't want to spread any rumors but always thought the impulse was simply an open bow Comp. Can anyone do a periodicals search online for waterski magazine's boat buyers guide for 91 and 92? I believe they were rating the wakes back then and hole shot time. 1:1.23 here on my 91 comp

Impulse is a trim level I think, the open bow "Comp" is the "Conbrio."

The fastest way to identify a 1.23 to 1 trans is to look at the engine if its level its a 1.23 trans and it will back up to the port side. If the engine is at an angle in line with the prop shaft its a 1 to 1 trans and will back up to the port side.

Fixed it for you.
