I found this doing some google searches for the cheap RC air nautiques that were out a few years back. I remember seeing one with a squirrel in tow. |

We just saw Twiggy LIVE (actually, it's son of Twiggy, Twiggy has pasted on) two weeks ago at the Orlando Boat Show. Twiggy is now sponsured by Progressive boat insurance, which was o.k. because the owner showed the kids the how Twiggy had a driver AND a spotter when he was skiing (stuffed animals, but the point was made) and Twiggy has to put on his life jacket before he gets to go in the water. Couldn't say for sure, but Twiggy's boat sure did look like a(late 80's model?) Ski Nautique...unfortunately Pete might be right again, I didn't see any little tubes anywhere!!! Sorry about the picture quality, I didn't want to use the flash and cause Twiggy to do a face plant!!!

Kristof, I think Twiggy's Ski Nautique was the same year as your's, his had "non-original" lettering on the side as well

I called your cell phone Friday night when I saw you on line, NO ANSWER, I use a calling card so I don't know what number shows up at your end. My wife has "misplaced" the cell phone with Mark's # so I haven't called Keith yet, finally was able to get to the leaking pump Friday, first day without rain in a while. I think I fixed the leak, but can't get the boat started to check it out. Also, was calling to see what you're doing next Friday, thinking of making the trip to Lake Wales to meet you for dinner. I seem to remember an open invitation to Cherry Pockets!!!

Sorry..went away from the computer for awhile. Anyhow.....sometimes the cell is off..musta missed that call. You know I'da picked it up if I knew it was you. This friday (12th) is bad since me and Patti will be up in Ohio for our ski club's 50th. How about the next week? Cherry Pockets is cool. Call me tomorrow evening..I have MM's number and I might have Keith's as well. You gotta be wanting to get that boat fixed.
