Hey Guys,
Just wanted to write a blurb about my weekend skiing and what I found between my '89 Comp and a '98 Malibu I skied behind... In a nut shell, my comp kicks it's butt for a ski wake.
I will be the first to say that I am not a seasoned skier, however my wife is. And after she took a major spill behind the malibu we both agreed that the wake at 15 off, and 22 off is very hard, and larger than our Comp. Speaking to the owner of the Malibu he told us that his boat is really meant for tournament speeds, 34 to 36mph. My take on that is what good does that do for the recreational skier??? The only advantage I found with the Malibu was the 320 hp was great for the pull out, and no "pull" on the arms, but I'm sure that would be the same for any tow boat with 80hp more than the Comp.
Has anyone else out there find the Comp ski better than newer generations of ski boats? I'd love to ski behind a newer comp, or a legacy with the plate.....
Any input would be great..
