Water Skiing
 

Took my Dad skiing the other day for his 85th birthday, not bad for the old man.

he wants to take the grandkids snow skiing this year, trying to get the 6 y.o. to say Vail grandpa pleeeease. :)

Very cool. What is pulling him - Ski Supreme?

That's awsome Scott :cool:

Thats cool!! Hope I can even walk when I'm 70:rolleyes:

Way Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I'm still breathing at 85 years old.

yes it is a 84 ski supreme, have yet to find a better pull. still in good shape but it is my winter project this year.

Awesome. I still have my 1984 Mastercraft that I bought in The Atlanta Boat Show when I was 19 years old. I'm 44 now!

Way Cool Scott.

very cool, same age, got this boat in 84 as well, dont remember who it was anymore but got it as a demo boat since it was used in one tourney as a back-up pull boat. i have a lot of great memories in that boat, or rather behind that boat. its cool that my kids 6 and 9 are really getting into skiing.

Old inboards are awesome. Here's my 91 Mastercraft Prostar 190 :grinser010:

I had the '97 Prostar 190 as well. Awesome boat, the kids loved it. Pretty neat when I had some alternator problems with it and I took it to my high performance mechanic in the Ozarks on the 4th of July to drill out a bolt for me. He said are you kidding me as he lifted the hood up and saw the Corvette motor under the hatch. He laughed and said, I can have it ready for you to pick up in a couple of hours. My wife and I laughed!!! They truly are awesome family boats.

and to think it is so powerfull...pushing that Dodge:party-smiley-004:

LMAO

Too many FORD fans on this forum :p

We know trucks!!(and powerboats!)

We need to make this thread the official inboard thread! I would of never got into hi perf boating if it was not for my Mastercraft!

Ditto!

I decided it would be more fun crossing wakes at 60 mph in a boat rather than on a water ski...trying to make the next ball. Those face plants at that speed are no fun.

Dayum, I miss those days!

Never could get the sking thing down. Coordination wasn't one of my stronger abilitys:rolleyes:

Its such a blessing to have your dad with you at that age and healthy enough to be doing that.
I've learned life is so short and if your not busy living your busy dieing and it looks like he's living for sure, God bless you both.

Amen, Couldnt say it better myself......

very cool another great shape dad mustta been the water back then LOL

hey thanks I feel very lucky, I hope that I am doing the same things when I am that age. he had back surgery 5 yrs ago and was told by the surgeon that he would spend one week in the hospital and a min. of two weeks in a rehab hospital. two and a half days post surgery they just sent him home. he is continuing to set the bar high for me in many ways.

I spent the best days of my life skiing and barefooting here on Lake Lanier.

The 1st pic was 1987 and this picture was from last night. In the Mastercraft of course!

Here's some pics of my mom & my wife. A bunch of the girls on the chic try & get together a couple times during the year & have a ski day.
