Waterskiers/wakeboarders

[Matteeboy]

Many on here?

Bought our little boat with both in mind. Wife used to be an instructor and grown up with ski boats.
Enormous fun if done safely - just uses rather a lot of fuel!

 

[GandalfLoJ]

Yeah, kinda learning to but getting someone I trust to drive my boat correctly is rather tricky.

 

[Matteeboy]

Your avatar suggests a rather tasty ski boat!

 

[GandalfLoJ]

Yup, 4.3L 190HP mercruiser. Generates a nice wake and has a cabin up the front for changing and warming up in /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

good fun for the skier, but a bit boring for everyone else, we have concluded!

 

[sailbadthesinner]

ooh yes
have to get a bit wet
and if its raining it makes no difference

We used to do a lot many years ago, although SWMBO still wakeboards behind the tender. Just teaching the kids to ski but the weather seems to be conspiring against us.

 

[Nautorius]

Yep,

I Mono and wakeboard when my boat is in the water and not on the Thames! Done nothing this year and am now probably too fat to try /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

In the good old days of Windermere we always had a seperate Ski boat!

Did some kneeboarding a few months ago but not ski-ed in anger for 3yrs. As Nautorious says, in the good old days we had a couple of cruisers rafted for swmbo's to get pished on while the blokes ski,d all day behind a designated ski boat, usually my Bayliner 1952 cuddy or a jet skithing argh them were the days.................
