This is not an American Skier as we know them. When WESMAR bought American Skier in 91 they also bought some molds from a local unknown boat builder (Bonita Boats) & began building these in Ocoee Fl. The only thing shared with the boats we are familiar with is the hull side decal.

Good, cause it's not nearly as cool.

Actually we did build a few sterndrives, the 24' Eagle open bow was available in direct drive & stern drive, and the 25' Commanche was stern drive only. The Commanche with a duoprop Volvo not only was a neat little "go-fast" boat but it was probably the only boat of it's kind that you could run the slalom course with then run 60+ mph on open lakes without jarring your back apart.
