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



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

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!!!!

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

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


Im sure I heard cliff explain it like that to Norm

That pic reminded me of this one:
