Foot run

Awesome! I didn't know Billy Mays footed. ;)

Nice videos.

Thanks lol.

I am using 100 feet of rope.

As for the barefooter the table is flat in even some what poor water conditions. Tullfooter can vouch for the performance in rough water as far a races go. The wake it self is considered to be a steep drop off to most, but it is very crossable. Mike Seipel drove it for the barefoot clinic a GL 07 and he said was the one thing he wished CC would do was bring back the BFN. He said it was his favorite boat to foot behind.

I am not sure if it's just me or what, but I find it much easier to foot behind the BFN than my Air. My uncle has a 90 SN and I have a little bit of trouble footing behind that as well, but I think it's just because I really do not foot behind either of those boats enough. I like the feel of the water more behind the BFN that the others.

Thanks guys for the props on the BFN. I love Nautiques. I had a '95, and now my '01. I only really started footing last July. I foot behind my boat quite a bit, and don't really like the wake at all. It has a complex shape, even though the wake itself is not large. And the churn is like a fire hose: real rough, especially less than 100'.

I have hooked up with footers in my area (Sacramento, CA, great ski town, BTW), and most have Sangers. Barefoot Sangers, or DXII's. Another coule of guys have Malibu Barefooters. When I said to my Sanger friend, " I didn't know Malibu made a barefoot boat," he replied, "They don't..." LOL. Always a little competitiveness between boat owners, eh.

So what is the best year for BFN? If I look for one, what should I look for/avoid?


Also, what is a "Wallie"??!

LB
If I were to get another BF, and trust me, I'm always looking, I would like to have a low hour '89. I missed a couple last year, one ended up in the hands of a friend from Indiana (I think Ben's handle is 89BFN). The other was an '89 with only 162 hours that went for about $11,500. I've never footed behind the '91 which is a V-drive, but I've heard the wake is not quite the same.

The "Wallie" term is used for the newbie two plankers that are skiing slightly bent over, normally doing close to barefoot speed, and sometimes sporting the May West orange life preserver. They are always entertaining when they crash. But they are still one rung higher than the tubers when it comes to messing up the barefoot water.

Sorry, not used to the new format. How do we nix a post?

You can only delete a post in a short time window after it's made, after that editing is your only option. Moderators/Admin probably can clear it out if you edit and call it a duplicate post, though not a big problem.

All the BFNs are just fine, though 87-90 will give you the most interior room as the deck changed and the dash is further forward. They also have a more comfortable interior.

The next time I'm in CA will probably be to buy a Sanger DX!

Andy owned 84 BFN didn't he, or just regularly skied behind it "Nautank" he called it. Now he's rocking a DX, that should tell you something... If you'd be interested in a super clean 90 DX let me know, BKH has a lead on a really nice one under $5k
