Title: SO what do you call YOUR AmSki?
Post by: 56mulberry on July 05, 2010, 10:31:09 PM

SO my friend bought a jet boat and took FOREVER to get it up and running--I am talking a decade plus a few years?   SO his wife called it "Exhibit B"  for a long time....

Well, around our house we have taken to calling our 1980 AmSki  "Exhibit C" now....

SO if it ever hits the water this year (I bought Feb 09 thinking I would have it water by Memorial day of 09... ::)) I am think I may name it "Exhibit Sea" ???  Just a thought DPOUG

My wife says that the boat doesn't get used enough.  She calls it the big red buoy.  It's a ski boat, get up early, ski, done by 8:00AM.  I don't go tooling around in the thing just to burn gas.  I do idle across the lake occasionally and anchor so we can just hang out and relax a bit in the sun.  Anyway.....as a big 007 fan, I would call it Miss Moneypenny but after 2 years, I'm still not sure if and where to letter it.

My wife has aptly named our 86 Barefoot Skier as "Tootsie."  She hasn't asked me to put in on the boat... yet.

My 1987 AmSki is referred to as "NLB", New Little Boat.

"OLB" (Old Little Boat) is a 1978 CorrectCraft SkiTique.

"BB" (big boat) is the 1986 27 ft Cobalt Condurre...love me some vintage go-fast...
