That is not a Force or a Velocity. It may be a take off of either one or both but is from a company called Speedmaster.

Cool...They all look like Forces to me ( kind of like that new one with the concave deck)

Certainly a speedmaster built up in Queensland (North East Australia) This is the only one i've seen ski racing and in last edition of water ski racer news for sale at $260000 Australian dollars Unfortunately a little out of my budget

Is that a polished stainless trailer?

The trailers they build now are usually steel with a layer of polished stainless wrapped/placed over the steel. I guess down under they were having troubles with the all stainless trailers that they used to build cracking over time and they were probably very heavy too.
Looks very cool though.

True Cyclone Racing most stainless trailers down here are a wrap over galvnised steel but if you have a look at dragonfly boat trailers website you will see that the above trailer is full stainless It certainly does look pretty cool

Not sure why it would be heavier then a steel trailer?

Stainless weighs more when compared to the same thickness of regular steel. I am not a metallurgists and cannot explain why but that is what I have experienced and what reputable machinists tell me.
