    205 tournament dual back to back seats

    When I bought my 205 it had dual captains chairs which we hated. My last tournament 19 had dual back to backs and they were great for the family and kids and guests and spotters when skiing. I found a 205 seat on marketplace and traded my passenger captains chair, then had the seats redone by...

    Bang plate re-seal while replacing motor

    I’m about to swap on an 05 F250 in place of my 05 F150 on my 05 tournament 205. While I have the motor off, I want to reseal my bang plate. I’m reading lots of threads on 5200 vs 4200 vs lifecalk for this purpose, but still want more feedback. I’m thinking 5200 because like 5200s purpose, I...

    Recently purchased a 205 with an f150 and also separately purchased a 2005 3.3 250 to swap. We slolom ski a lot so need pop out of the hole, but also want high top speed. Also do a lot of kid towing on tubes/skis so low speed planing is nice. Does anyone have a prop recommendation? 3...

    Dual console window bumper/stop/pad thing

    One of the little black window stop pad things that supports the window when it’s open so the frame isn’t hitting the other glass fell off. Where do I get one? It attaches to the hinged window frame edge, no idea what it’s even called.

    Anchor won’t fit in 1987 Tournament 190 locker

    The front anchor locker on my 1987 Tournament is not like the ones on 88-93 models. I can’t fit a normal Danforth in it. What is an anchor that does fit? Or a folding one that’s decent?

    Prop for tournament 192 with 200 outboard

    Just opening a discussion since propping a boat is more of an art than a science. My 2000 FICHT 3.0 200 on a 1991 tournament 192 hull with a 14.5” x 19p viper prop did 52 on fresh water and 54 on salt.
