A rival forum has a "glass waters" thread, it has some great pics in it, so I thought we should have one too!
You just can't beat the feeling of riding on perfectly smooth water, I give up on tricks and just carve about outside the wake when there's glass to be had! I think the "butter" description is perfect: mellow carving turns feel like spreading soft butter on fresh bread!

Lake Lillinonah CT Weather wasn't that great but it was the glassiest glass I ever skied. When I was cutting out I looked down at the water and saw a perfect reflection of myself, talk about disorienting. It made me dizzy. In the pics it's not as flat as it could be because we cut it up a little prior to taking the pics.
On this same day for kicks we attached the ski rope to my 100' bf rope and skied 175' off the back of the boat. Quiet back there, relaxing too.

This is the lake we live on. It's like this all the time. The problem is that I can't run my BFN on this lake. This pic was taken the day of a show. We had an exception for the ski show. We use the little Larson with a 90hp Johnson (Max HP allowed ) outboard to ski with.

This shot of Marshall's boat running along the St John's River in Florida back in Feb ranks as one of my favorite glass water shots. For scenic cruising and always some calm water to be found, this river ranks among the best I've ever seen.

| No......the photo was just last week. It actually has warmed up a bit here in the past week but it has been one chilly summer. With our last stretch of warm days the water is finally back over 70......it has stayed in the mid to upper 60s most of this summer though. |

Mark,
Did you ever find that youtube video on the swamped MC I told you about? It just popped up again on site. Off topic - "submarine". I thought you may be able to fill us in on some of the handling characteristic of a MC!

Mark, it doesn't get any calmer than that.
Pete, That video has been around for quite sometime and has been discussed at great lengths on other sites. I believe Mastercraft even had it removed from Youtube when it first came out. The version I heard for the cause of it was that the driver was trying to do a bat turn and stuck into reverse by mistake. I've watched it many times and just don't understand how it happens. ------------- |

Totally, played hooky that day. The only thing that bothers me about that pic is that I'm driving and not on a rope behind the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=972&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980" rel="nofollow - 1978 Nautique FBook - www.facebook.com/charliedontsurfct |

Riley,
it is easily done on today's newer model boats that have lower bows. From WOT or close to it, chop the throttle. As the bow continues to fall throw it in reverse. Bow will dip below waterline, then throttle forward to bring boat up and out of the dive. Why people do this and tear up thier boats, I don't know. I'm sure Eric would agree that it could and would likely tear your tranny up doing it often. ------------- ...those who have fallen and those who will. |
