You might be able to pull a skier around, but I would think the skier would have to start on two skis to get up. And, I would guess the wake would be large to the point of it being pretty hard to do much, other than get towed around a bit. Wakeboarding would probably be better I would think...

I would suggest getting a set of combo skis first. If you get a good set, they will usually come with one ski that is also a slalom ski. Wider skis are usually easier for beginners to learn on as they're easier to get up on. That's just my .02 cents. :) -Chris

Very cool! :thumb: Ray, did you watch Land & Sea this past weekend? They did a special on Newfoundland Wood Boat Builders. It was a really neat episode. :) -Chris

Welcome aboard CaliCash. :) It's nice to have you with us. :thumb: -Chris

That brings back lots of memories. :) Our family has the exact same aluminum boat. I grew up driving one with a 1950's 5.5 'Rude. I painted the sides dark blue to match the motor. My uncle still has the boat itself and I still have the motor. :thumb: -Chris

Thanks for the update. Let us know how you end up making out. :) You need to show us some beautiful Newfoundland boating pics when you get rolling! :thumb: -Chris

Here are a couple of shots of a Ebbtide that was at the show. And you guessed it! Another yellow and white boat. :D

Here's one more of the Chaparral and one of a nice Crownline, and you guessed it, also yellow and white! :D

Here are some pics of another Chaparral that was at the show. White with yellow was a popular colour combo! :)

Here's a few more... :)

Here are a few pics of a really nice Chaparral that was at the show. It was equipped with a nice Wakeboard tower and had an interesting bow detail. :)

Hi Ray, I've never heard of that being done, it makes sense though. Let us know how you ultimately make out. -Chris

Welcome aboard Jim - nice to have you with us. Do you have any pics of your old Avenger? :) -Chris

Looking good! Thanks for sharing. :) -Chris

Thanks for your help BT. :thumb: Let us know how you make out Margarita - I'll look forward to seeing your pics when you're up and running. :) -Chris

Here's a few more... :) The pictures really don't do this boat justice. It was black metalflake and had really neat graphics.

Here's a few shots of a really sick Wakeboard Boat that was at the show. It was a Ski Nautique, Byerly Icon Edition. :devil:

Hi margarita, Welcome aboard, nice to have you with us. Do you have any more info on your motor? Are there any tags or serial numbers etc? Using those you can probably search and get more info. A lot of the Volvo's in the past have actually been Ford blocks. -Chris

He most likely figure it out and is out booting around on the lake! :D Hopefully we'll get an update and maybe even some pics. :) -Chris

Thanks Dave, that's really, really kind and much appreciated. :) -Chris
