Looking for a Used Connelly Big Daddy

Hey,

I am looling for a used Connelly Big Daddy water ski. The water ski for the 250lb+ crowd.   Let just say I know some fat guys that want to get back into sking. This is not for me.

Donald

Waldo,

Thanks I am intested. From my e-bay research there are several models/names from the past. However, from what I have learned the Big Daddy is the largest. That is what I need, oh I mean my fat friend needs. The pilot is on the market,but the big daddy seems to be the biggest one.

Thanks,

Donald

Donald, I brought my Big Daddy to WL last year if you remember seeing it... It's about the biggest of the wide body skis that you'd want to put on edge. Connelly made a Big Easy that's even bigger, but doesnt look like it would lean over well... It's shaped like a 2x12.

Tim, the wide body skis are actually quite a bit of fun if youre just out for a cruise! I picked up the Big Daddy and a Mid-SX last winter, and they both got a fair amount of use last summer. Great for guests and teaching as well. I rode one for the first time a few years ago when I picked one up for HW... I tried it out and ran the slalom course on it, 32off at 26mph. What a hoot!

Waldo,

No problem, I believe I am going to hold out for one of the Big Daddy's. There are also S, SX and LX Connelly Skis that are close in this size range. Holly Wood just sent me a comparison chart to get the correct size. A huge ski with a 540 ACME,a easy up rope should do the trick. Do not hate the player.

Thanks for checking with your dad.

Donald

I have it in the kitchen now. Kind of a nice decoration. I think I'll just leave it kind of looks cool.

Waldo

Tim, I bet that was a riot running the course.... You're not turning into a quinner and will ride anything are you?


Donald .... Let me know where and when you'll be in Atlanta and maybe we can hook up for an Atlanta Beers.

Tim,

I will let you know. I get to Macon, GA about every eight weeks and that is more the direct that puts me near you.

Donald

They sell for more than that used on eBay. That's a pretty good deal if you're looking for that particular ski.

Thanks for the advice Tim.

John, I actually just grabbed it tonight. I was glad they still had it; I wasn't able to get over there till now.

I'm pretty excited to check it out.

Actually, haha, I'd be willing to let you ride on it In exchange for a pull on lake Cochituate
I'm working over near there at the moment. The other night I was riding the Framingham/Worcester line into Fenway and that train crosses over the lake. From the train window I saw someone tearing it up behind a newer 196. I tried to snap a pic but they were going the opposite direction from the train. Kind of got me itching for an after work ski there.

I just called another nearby West Marine to see if they had any more. I gave the guy the SKU# from the one I bought and he checked their whole system, stores and warehouses. I got literally, thee, last one.

Overton's carries the model I have for $300. You can get 3 degrees of snazziness on the bindings and mine is the base model. Overton's just the other day sent a 20% and free shipping, no minimum, promo code via email. It's now expired, but next good code I get, I'll post it.

See Craig's list San Antonio for $75

I've got a 71" HO Magnum with dual Venom boots (size XL), that I was thinking about selling.
Bought that ski in about 2007. Largest of the HO Free ride series for that era.

Also have Connelly Concept, 68" with double Connelly Super Wraps, size L. Bought in about 99. Fairly soft and forgiving ski. I actually skied it about three months ago for the first time in 8 or 9 years. Spurred me on to go buy a brand new Slalom ski.

If anyone is interested in either let me know. I'm not really trying to sell them, but, they are sitting here collecting dust. If someone else could use them, great.
