Does anyone have an old rope like this laying around that they could part with?

Gary, My thoughts were the same as yours, the float is the key. A repurposed broom stick (do they still make wooden broom sticks?) and the crappiest grade of rope from Ace, and the only thing missing is the float. If you can track one down, that would be great. Thanks. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Might try to see if you can talk him out of it ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Larry, Check out midwestdowel.com they have hickory dowels in 7/8" and 1". I went to Ace hardware looking for a replacement wood handle for my old leaf rake. Got weird looks instead of a new handle. The floatie ball was partly responsible for my very first introduction to face plants. Once in a great while I would pull the float back to the handle and stick the handle behind the knees. The only thing I have is maybe 50+ ft of old blue/green rope. |

Is that a plain wooden handle on a polyethlene rope? I have an old yellow rope, but the handle is rubber-coated metal, black. I might have just a wood handle laying around (somewhere) because I used to use them at my ski school in the old days. "Art" ------------- "Art" |

Just picked up this NOS bad boy for $4.25 off ebay. A little newer than the original post, but still 60s-70s so close enough ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

I just picked up an orange one "new in package" looks to be late 70's early 80's with a float manufactured by berkley in Iowa if you are still looking. I can post a photo. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |
