Hi Vann I've done plenty of sterndrives. Bayliners but it doesn't really matter If you are concerned about slalom pull the best solution is stargazer with Zbox. It will hit the throttle hard enough to block a 34mph 22 off skier even with an older engine. If you have a specific question, fire away Greg
I have the Stargazer 3 event 2013 version. Was the latest version last spring installed by the local MasterCraft dealer. It works great and never has a bad time. Question is on props. For skiing I am running a 3 blade 17P SS prop on my 260HP Mercruiser. This seems to have enough pull without running high RPM's. Do you have any info on 4 blade props on an I/O. May be different than an outboard. I pulled 6 barefooters using a 15P aluminum prop years ago (video on VHS). I would get an outboard next if someone can come up with a full size ski platform on one.

Hi Jim great to read your posts. I still lurk here a fair bit. Vann, what version of the software do you have exactly? 8.0.4 is much better for slalom. Might be worth updating the software if you have an older version than that.
