The boot was easy to install and matched the ski. The mounting brackets did not line up with the existing mounting holes of the ski. The skiers that used this ski said it was loose and moved a bit in the turns. I will have to redrill new holes to mount the new brackets, hopefully getting a snugger fit for the skiers with a smaller foot.

Interesting in that another reviewer commented that he was replacing a torn binding. We are forced to order a replacement also, for a set of O'Brien combo family skis used just four times this Summer before the binding tore. One has to wonder why O'Brien would put such a remarkably fragile binding on a set of skis designed for beginners where one can reasonably expect a lot of "feet in, feet out" wear and, excuse the pun, "tear."
"Yes" recommendation to a friend and two stars are only because one has little choice but to replace the existing part for the skis to function as designed and ostensibly, part will be replaced under warranty. We'll see how the replacement holds up.

Comments about O'Brien O'Brien 700 Adjustable Heel Binding:
I guess O'Brien changed the design of the 700 model because the screws positions did not match my 6 year old water skies. Not a big deal, I just had to make new holes in the skies. Otherwise, it is a very nice product.
