Hello A/S friends, I just happened to stumble on the forum and I think it is great to have people to talk to about our boats. In 1984 my friend bought a Skier, after skiing behind it once I had to have one. I found an 1982 in Fla. with 100 hours on it and have been the proud owner since. I have thought about a different boat several times but never having any troubles with this boat and not being able to find a boat with a better wake I still have my 1982 A/S and still get great pleasure from it. Thanks Lou
