The Sanger has always been a good looking boat. Nice that they stayed with their traditional roots.

If I'm not mistaken there are two others, Centurion Carbon Pro and SN200CB. I don't think MC nor Malibu do any more but I also seem to recall that even tho Malibu doesn't market a closed bow Response, it is still available. I be Bruce knows the answer to that.

Far cry from the 80s when everyone and their brother offered a comp ski boat, including a lot that shouldn't have.

Greg's BF tug behind which we have been working on our LLBDs. I'm sure it helped. Now I have to wean myself down to my regular fly-hi and then I'd like to take it all the way down to a regular pylon pull.

Malibu turned their old 1998 Response into a walk through bow rider. No more closed bows for them. Mastercraft has the fiberglass hood that makes their ski boat look like a closed bow, but it's a bow rider. Sanger makes the only dedicated barefoot boat, don't they?

There is a new builder in FLORIDA called Custom Ski Boats they moved from Australia and were supposed to be "sponsoring" the World Barefoot Center with a couple boats but due to reasons unexplained the partnership never happened ...David Small assured me everyone was going to own a CSB barefoot outboard...but they are still skiing the old Sanger outboards. CSB builds a closed bow inboard barefoot boat as well as an outboard closed bow.

I work with a lady who told me she has a tournament inboard called a Bimini. It is a '93. She indicated it has a MasterCraft hull, and an American Skier deck, and also has a front tracking fin that slightly rotates when the steering wheel is turned to facilitate tighter turns. Anybody heard of this brand of boat?? New one on me.

Throw Back Thursday.

If you guys are enjoying this old thread coming back to life, you will really enjoy this one from 2006. Unfortunately many of the photos are now missing but it is still a very entertaining read.
