I have a 98 elite direct drive. It has been a great boat for me I have 1300 hours on it now. I feel like its a great family boat that has lots of room and you can still ski and wakeboard behind.
The cable is an Utraflex CPTOX10. They custom build only 3 or so per year. They can be ordered at boatingsolutions.com. Many calls to figure this one out.
