post your cool summer pics

1987SN2001,
THANK YOU!
You, your brothers, and all your forefathers are the reason we're able to play with these boats and live the way we do.
Full support - Thanks for doing what you do!

I remember whining this summer when it rained, or I had to work, or whatever; and couldn't go boating. But I was still on my home turf, feeling safe, and loving life regardless. Thanks 1987 for making that sacrifice, and that had I made the same, I feel my life would be just a little more complete at this time.

The very short video clip is a 70 Mustang 273 Chryler in a somewhat week 180 spin. These original Mustang hulls don't bury the nose and raise the stern while swapping ends quite as well as the next gen 71+ hulls. Those will literally put the nose under water like a PWC. This untouched and loud engine runs sweet at 48.3 on GPS,..for now.

I'm not sure I trust my steering cable that much to be doing powerslides into the dock! Good thing he's got a few backup boats incase something goes wrong.

Madman indeed.

Reid, It looks very cool on tape now!
Ya know what they say :
Pain is temporary
Glory is forever
and Chicks dig scars!

Kids - don't try this at home!

I'll take sounding like jbear as a pretty high compliment? He's da man!

Reid...great shot! I know that move(71 and up)...with the 72 mustang , it whips around fast and then dives the nose down to the windshield. Every once and a while I will throw it in the spin...but don't want to press my luck!

Yo Reid, nice to see/read ya, it's been a while! Gotta love those 180's, I usually have new riders sit in the rear seat for that surprise.

Testing the new Motorola.

Great vid. When I was 14 or 15, my dad had a 71 Martinique that would spin hard enough that the base of the windshield would be under water. I used to do it a lot, and I mean a lot, with my friends. Never really thought of the dangers then. That being said, I've always wanted to do it with my SNOB, but that would probably have ugly results! Just feeling how hard it bites in a turn makes me want to spin it, but I definitely know better.

Somebody wanted to buy an Obrien World Team Comp? This one is slightly used, just one owner. Ski is still in great condition. Owner is pretty old though.

vintage in more than one way, tow rope, ski vest, and is that a speedo, god lets hope not. hey where's the mullet?

great shot shortline.
Are you as surprised as I was someone wanted that ski?

Great pics everybody. I haven't had an actual waterski on my feet in close to twenty years. Impressive looking stuff.

Here's a pic from last weekend

Dallas,

What does your 2001 SN rate for H.P. and top speed? That's an awesome boat you got there!

Probably too big. Try to reduce them in size. If uploading from you hard drive use the icon with the photo and the blue arrow. If uploading from a website such as photobucket, use the icon with the photo of the tree. BKH
