Steve: get the KSO shoe skis. Forget the puppy paws.

Yep, I'm all done for this season.....even put the Barefoot Whaler away last weekend so my next set will have to wait until April or so.

well we all know how much we like pictures here but....usually only me and Eddie go out...no camera person. But if we can get one of our ladies to go along you will see some pics or vids. Better yet...fly over and join us. Your footin' is garunteed to improve with Eddie.

been very windy lately, but managed to do a nice run on saturday.
Did some runs using the extreme footers..I focused on the one foots on both sides...nice job...
then i did a couple of runs w/o....but it was becoming choppy due to other boats and had to quit...
anyway nice runs...
no footage though...

very happy with the BI iron suit...

we've footed some in the cold but no video really.
however in my travels I ran across these that feature unknown footers, big name footers and Nautiques and bad music. I think you guys will like these vids.

Took me a while to figure out exactly where it would go and what it did.
It looks seriously functional but could use a little refining, You have a ways to go to match Alans woodwork on his 1955. Maybe if you rounded the edges and mopped on a few coats of teak oil.   
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.

I built one like that Seb, and it lasted a few sessions. the boom moving forwards and backwards torqued the connection at the bottom and failed. Hopefully yours will do better!

it takes lots of load..it need a bigger base or something to hold the base against the gunnel as sometimes it will slide over...

OK, so here is the new 1997 Sanger. Andy and I took it out for a spin and got 49 MPH out of her. Got 46 with Willie back there. No video of the ride, but it was an excellent maiden voyage. Nautique is sold and on its way to Australia. Follow the link for pictures:
