Looking for a boom for my '90 Nautique. I've seen used ones go in the $200-250 range. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life." Semper Fi |

Any particular reason you want the contour? The straight ones work great on our boats and are easier to store. ------------- |

No particular reason, just didn't know if the taper effected it. Sounds like a straight one will work better.

What taper? CC pylons (at least from the late 70's forward) are 2.5" top to bottom. ------------- |

Isn't there a slight taper at the top, I'm probably wrong. Haven't seen my boat in months. Thanks for the good info, some of us need it. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

Only the top inch or so- it wont come anywhere near where you mount the clamp.

Thanks a bunch Tim. Now I can make a more educated purchase, hopefully before next season so the kids can start skiing. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."

I love the BI's, but we had a Casad that was nearly identical in design that treated us well for 20 years. I also had an ECI for a short time that was pretty cool- it wasnt solid like the BI/Casad, but seemed sturdy enough and had a nice clamp design... so dont limit your options! $250 would be a good price- keep checking craigslist because shipping can get expensive.
A boom is definitely a great investment- one of the must haves if youre ever going to teach anyone to ski or barefoot, especially kids. Ive taught more people than I can count.  ------------- |
