Classic Mercury! My how times have changed.
 

Anyone miss the old days when you could get away with pulling an elephant on water skies thru canals in Florida?

:eekdrop:

Mercury Marine:
1965, Mercury matched speed with strength, pulling an elephant on specially designed water skis with a single 90hp outboard.

Must be a heck of a prop :lolhit:

I remember my dad paying about $700 for a 100 HP Mercury to put on our 17' Glastron. Beautiful, shiny and black. Had to be circa 1965 or so.

Look'n way 4ward 2 my 725 Ilmors in my 477 NT!!!! not so much worried about an elephant behind the boat!!!!:bunnydance:

That is really cool. Thanks for posting. After skiing the elephant was so hungry he ate a manatee. At least thats what I heard. That was before it was illegal for elephants to eat manatees.

the way i heard was the elephant fell and got eaten by a pack of manatee:party-smiley-004:

I heard the elephant fell in the water screwd the the fins off a dolphin & out came a manatee......how else can you explain wtf they are:whistle:


Im sure I heard cliff explain it like that to Norm
