I agree.  Obviously won't be going back to the place that originally screwed it up.

Honestly I do not know.  It is kinda the thing where it is unlucky for me and will be a great boat for someone else.  I might throw it on CL locally and see if I get any bites.  My issue is I bought it for about 12.5k about 3 years ago and put over 3k into it.  I know I can't get 15k for it but I would like to get close to my original 12.5k for it but I think that might be a stretch.

You may be right.  I am upside down on it at this point.  Book value has it around $10.8.

I agree.  My confidence is shot on it right now.  I'm sure it will be much better as it get it back on the water more and enjoy it as it should be.  Thanks for all your help!

Good Morning,

Well, I am again in love with my American Skier and decided to keep it but with my kids doing 3 event skiing I think I need to install perfect pass.  Any recommendations for a model of perfect pass that will easily fit into a 1995 American Skier Volante and can be installed at home?  I've paid the mechanic enough this year.. :D

Thanks

Todd

Perfect Pass Star Gazer is the only real choice you have, you need a mechanical connection at your carb or throttle body, the other newer brands only connect  and control through the engine ECM - drive by wire. Get your best price out there & PM me I now have access to these, will have them on the site later this fall.
