What year was the TSC 1 hull introduced and what year was the TSC2 hull introduced? When is the next hull change expected to come out?

TSC 1 - 97 TSC 2 - 02 The next gen is already out. TSC3. Can't remember the year. Think it was 06, put not positive. BKH |

Yup, TSC3 debuted in '06. It incorporated the hydrogate and eliminated some lifting strakes towards the rear of the hull. I think the primary reason for the change was to improve the trick wake- supposedly the slalom wake is unchanged from the TSC2 (with the gate in the down position). |

Dudes, the 2002 Ski Nautique Open Bow was a TSC1 hull you both know that.
I believe you had an option on the TSC2 or TSC3 hull for 2006. The TSC3 w/o lifting strakes is essentially a TSC2 hull with a hydrogate. |

Yeah, for the TSC3 they just righted their wrongs by going back to a TSC 1 design with a pocket in the keel for the hydrogate
We don't need no stinkin' lifting strakes. Leave those for the "M" boats. |

Hollywood, that blue boat with the Hydrogate and the lifting strakes....is it a 196 or what? Reason I ask is that I have an '08 196 with Hydrogate, but my wife thinks the wake is too large at her slow slalom speed of 26. She loved our '02 with TSC2 hull. I was even considering contacting CC to see if they could build a new 196 like that. (For now, I just putting a 45-lb disc up in the nose; running the gas out of the tank to lighten up the stern; speeding her up to 28; and giving her a longer rope to see if I can get her blessing. :) Any other suggestions?)

How much difference in slalom wake is there from the TSC 1 to the 2?

If you're not a nationally ranked slalom or trick skier, then call it . . . . none. BKH |

I don't recall there being a huge difference between the TSC1 and TSC2 hulls, but there was some. My wife is very sensitive to wake shape because of an ankle tendon injury (dancing), and I can say that the TSC2 hull on our 2002 "196" was butter soft. Prior boat was 1997 "196"
