I have not seen anyone use one yet, I'm not sure why no one used one at the Delta Fly in Race(didn't need it to win?) but Sanger built a bunch of TX's which are I/O's with a 21 foot length that have a hull very much like a DXII just a bit bigger and of course the I/O...It was an AWSA approved waterski and barefoot boat, I ski my buddies 86 every once in a while. It was the first TX built and it runs about 65 as its now propped and sounds like a guided missile at 65, I footed last saturday behind it at 59 mph barefoot...not very far though!  ...maybe its just too fast?

Interesting boat. When was it offered for sale by Sanger? Never seen it before, but I've only been footing for about 10 years.
Too fast? I don't think so, it's in the range of our SkiPro. We put in some 58/59mph runs this weekend. However, the other factor in addition to speed is the table in choppy water. If you've footed a SkiPro you know what I mean.

to go 59 it is trimmed up and the wake at 75 feet is a blur but looks like it would not be a good place to be, slower its a different story but at 59 I don't think I could stand in the propwash, I hung out in the curl.
they made them from 86 thru the mid 90's I think I've seen a 96, but maybe only 93 not sure. It was Merc outdrive but has a faster than stock motor.(my friends 86) there are used ones out here in cali for 5000 to 7500.
