Here is what I think would be great to see on the site:
Reviews of the ski nautique with the 3 blade acme prop that they have for it (supposed to help the trick wake)
More information about the perfect pass for everyone. Digital pro and wakeboard pro. I for one misunderstand the new functions of the 6.4 chip and it really messed up my skiing.
Little things like: will a 68" ski fit in the trunk of a 196 / 206 / or a 216?
A basic maintenance schedule for people. I don't want to see a how to do this and that but just the basic recommendations: 50 hr oil changes, 25 hour checks, 100 hr transmission flushes, etc. Maybe some break downs on the different trailers offered? That way people are a little more educated about what they are buying? If you guys need help, I can provide some info. I may be slow getting back to you because I have my plate full but I would be willing to help out.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Luke,
If you want more info, let me know. On some of the hull changes, I didn't look up the exact years but I can to be more accurate.

Will do. I got the info you sent me. Good stuff. I'll be working on getting some of it posted here before too long. Been too busy working, and now I've only got 5 days until knee surgery, so I'm trying to squeeze as much time on the water as possible.

Although after that I should have a good 4-8 weeks worth of time to work on the site.

If I may offer a couple of suggestions:

You need to get more articles up, specifically tech articles on things like how to add a shower/heater/semi-automatic ballast, how to change a prop, how to do your own maintenance (changing oil, trannny fluid, fuel filter), things like that. People want to know this stuff - I actually go to MBO to get a lot of this kind of info. Also, it doesn't look like you're set up with the search engines. There's a certain code that needs to be entered in a website & then registered with the search engines to help it come up on the first page in the search. (I'm sure that you've thought of this, but) getting the word out to the dealers is important & also possibly getting a link off of the main CC site would be cool too. (MBO used to have one off of the Malibu site that would direct you through a big disclaimer, don't know if they do anymore.) I'm sure that you've thought of a lot of this stuff already, (not trying to show anyone up) but there's a reason that MBO is so big. There's a ton of info on that site even if you totally take the forums out of the mix. People flock to that because most of the time they need answers & they're not coming here because they can't click on a How-To link & get the answer right now.

...getting the word out to the dealers is important & also possibly getting a link off of the main CC site would be cool too.

I'm working on that right now. I have a call in to Correct Craft asking if they would be interested in linking to this site from their main page. When I talk to them tomorrow, I also plan to ask if it would be okay for dealers to link to us on their web pages. I feel somewhat confident that the local dealer here would be interested. I'll be talking to them this weekend, and I'll bring it up then (as long as CC doesn't have any problems with it).

I like the idea of the maintenance write-ups that you mentioned as well. I'm up for writing some of them, but anyone else interested in writing some, please do.

As soon as I get time, I have some info on hulls to post that was provided to me by one of our members. I was also thinking of doing a prop review (unfortunately limited to 210s only), and a review of the new Nvert board racks, as well as possibly an article on how to change oil/transmission fluid, and also an article on how to weight your boat.

Too many ideas, and not enought time.
