new rope

lima 08-19-2004, 9:05 AM

hey everyone, looking for a new rope and had a few quick questions. I'm looking at the accurate jacket series and the sl blue blazer lines. Are their any differences in the jacket series? I saw a zebra jacket and a lime jacket and the zebra looked a lot skinnier. I'm riding behind a 21ft yamaha jet boat and I'm not sure what length to ride at either, I've been riding at 60ft and think I need to go longer. Any help would be great...

Derrick, check out www.wakecord.com. I've used their ropes for years and wouldn't buy anything else. Spectra, very thin and light, and MUCH cheaper than all the ropes others will advise you to buy.

Go to e-bay, enter HYPERLITE under search. They have your main line there at a good price. If you don't get if for around $60 let me know I know where you can. Accurate main line is top notch, I wouldn't use anything else.

hey thanks, I'll check out wakecord and e-bay. Still kinda curious about the jacket series and why the zebra jacket looked skinnier than the others, or if I should use a segmented rope for the right length.

On that accurate jacketed mainline, its 70’ with four 5’ sections so your set for 55’ – 70’. Don’t forget you will add 3 or 4’ with the handle.

FYI... new handles equate to 5 ft extension depending on which handle...
Probably just an optical illusion with the Zebra jacket. Few years on my blue jacket and premier handle, goen strong...
