Haven't skied much the last few years and I miss it.
I was probably an above average skier in my day
Taught my 3 kids to ski and they're in their mid to late forties now still skiing
Regularly on the lower river.
My big accomplishment is the fact that
My grandkids love to ski .
First pic : me...
I gave my 04 GMC CrewCab Duramax
To my grandson with 585,000 miles on it.
It’s at 611,000 rt now.
No brakes until 520,000 mi.
My 07 LBZ has 226,000 currently.
I would like a new truck but I’m scared of all the def and regulations with diesels.
Towed the Coast Guard Spectra in at the Lower River once behind my flattie.
Some pretty cool young guys my age at the time. Whipped them up on plane and headed to launch ramp at maybe 30 mph.
Told me next time they would turn the siren and lights on so it would look like they were chasing me...
I’m liking these for the lower River.
Leave at the dock,
Jets are fun and responsive.
No prop to hurt grandkids.
Nothing for the grandkids to scratch
Not wrapping a ton of money up on a boring to drive pontoon.
Don’t have to clean the big boat .
Inexpensive
Use it , abuse it and dump it after a...
I’m with you Dave. I’d take that boat slide a jet in it with a set back pump and a decent 650 HP motor. It would run 75/80.
Great lower river ski boat. Very nice boat for pulling young tubers and skiiers
Open bow boats can be cool.
I have just a regular LA Spa at the river house. It sits under a palapa so in the summer I actually have to turn the heat on at times so the grandkids can stay in it.
It’s a great addition year round.
