      Joe, what i have left over from the Skagit like paint, gas tanks, hardware, carpet,gas lines,etc i still have, it would not take much to finish it.I would also get some nice chrome wheels and it needs tires that i would get from LS for the trailer, do the cheap spray can job with the trailer.Always have liked that "California" trailer where the hull sits low between the fenders. Low wind drag behind the Ford.

          Kelly, Yea i kind of forgot about the pictures being B&W. I never did learn to waterski on two ski's so i learn on one...yea i know that does not make sence. I was thinking about maybe playing around with the Dorsett Saratoga 17' this fall & winter being time is getting short in this house. It's a 59 , but i have a brochure picture of a 60 version that shows one in black which is one of the colors along with white paint for the trim i have left over after the Skagit. All i would have to do is give it a hour or so sanding job as i had already done that before getting the Skagit Chippewa last Nov. Even the rubrail is in good shape along with the seats which is a first !

          Yesterday i got the safety chains welded on the Skagit...nice job It was kind of nice to take a picture of the Skagit somewhere else ( at my neighbors ) besides in the shelter or our driveway ! Also did do a little wire job to put a plugin for charging the cell phone,and for my vacuum cleaner. Got to keep that rug clean ! Happy Fathers Day !
