    That's pretty cool stuff.

    17'...........? I remember the hairiest boat ride I took. A 16' flatbottom "ski" boat with a 427 Chev.................hooooweeee!! That was a hand-full..............but what a grin it put on your face.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Yeah, the tag line says that this one's 17'. I can't imagine 16' with a 427 Chevy!! Fastest I've been on the water is a bit over 55mph, but I was on a slalom ski! The crazy things we do when we're young.....

    When I was much younger, everyone used to invite me along to go water skiing!!! I thought it was because I was good on ski's!!!! Dad informed that wasn't the reason, he said it was because I did such fantastic crashes!!!!!!

    Yeah, I still recall the afternoon my soon to be ex-wife swung outside on a turn at 55mph and must have hit 75mph or more before she let the ski get away from her. She skipped like a flat rock about three times before going under, then came up and skipped again. The force straightened out the "D" rings on the floatation belt she had on... Still brings a little smile to my face after forty years....
