It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on what you're wanting to do.
I think it was just me, and the turns were pretty durn tight. I think I was skiing 28 off at the time. Back then, there were only 3 events, and kneeboards were just hitting the market. To further date it, I had a prototype Jobe "World Class" that I was evaluating, and the "hydrofoils" that go on the ski fins weren't out yet.....
Yep, that was a couple of years ago then. You may have even been behind an original Mastercraft. The first boat that I bought was a '79 Mastercraft Stars & Stripes. It didn't run when I bought it but after a fair bit of work it ran great for many years.
