Is this a real race or just a play ski day?

Play day/ informal race for bragging rights behind small boats.

But any boat is welcome. No entry fee, no scoring, and hell of a lot of fun at the yardhouse afterwards.

I might be in CA that weekend..

Anyone got an extra seat? I'd like to make the ride in a small boat just to do it once in my life.

Todd can ski behind whatever he wants, on as long a line as he wants...

As long as he is on double skis;)

And he would still kick my ass:(

Did Nico paint your boat?

Yes, The gelcoat was spayed in the mold but after it was capped he decided to paint it. I didnt find out until We pulled the boat out of the container orange peel drips and all. Of course he wanted entire balance before shipping. I thought about color sanding and clear but the paint is to thin. The deck has some print through from bagging the coring. The boat is built well and has made 12 Catalina runs this summer with no problems.
Who did the capping and re-gel on yours?.

Unfortunately that falls on Trevor Hampton's memorial so I will be unable to attend. :(
