Correct Crafts- Zihuatanejo MX

I was fortunate enough to spend a few days at La Ropa beach in Zihuat last week.  Checked in at dark woke up the next morning to find a 1989 Ski Nautique moored about 50 yards out in the bay.  Grey hull with Teal gel.  Looked ok from where I was sitting so i swam out for closer inspection.  What i saw was quite surprising!  Only ne seat was somewhat intact but not for the driver-he sat on a pail with a make shift cushion.  The gas tank was gone so a 5 gallon jug with a hose for supply sat near the port side of the motor cover-which itself was just a pile of fiberglass with numerous cracks and holes. The swim platform had about three boards remaining.  Only thing left on the dash was the key switch and a very loose helm.  Windshield was there but sketchy.  The floor was soft everywhere.  I did ask for a ride and Umberto was thrilled!  I even drove for a bit!  It was the absolute worst kept boat I have ever seen that was still working.  Pulled para sails, tubes, and water weenies all day!  I have photos I would email to anyone if someone wants to upload them.  I never saw it the next three days but there were 3 more late 80's CC's that were in better shape and were busy pulling water sports.  They all had a wonderful familiar sound that could be heard while on the beach.

They are headed your way Keno! Thanks

Could use an interior I suppose. Removing the gas tank and running the can frees up some space, while putting the weight where it should be ;-)

Goes to show these boats are beasts that can take some serious pounding before they give in!
