I found this Ski Tique on craigslist in June 2010. I am the third owner of this boat. The previous owner had it since 1980. He was a pilot in Camarillo CA and stored it in his aircraft hangar. When I purchased this boat it had been sitting for several years. The engine needed some work, the Tique was a bit rough and it needed some restoration. I love the original look of these classic ski boats and really enjoyed bring this Ski Tique back to life.
As a member of ACBS I proudly display this classic ski boat among the Chris Crafts and other classic boats at my local boat shows and is very well received. Lots of memories have been made cruising and skiing behind this classic.
