Since she loved it SO much, he used to take Gram water skiing out on Soda Lake, CO damn near every single weekend from May – August in the mid '50s until '70. He was 48 when this photo was taken!

I loved these boats so much and so did my father. For a few years we only had a row boat with a 5hp outboard. Back in the early ‘80s you could still find these boats from the ‘50s. My dad finally settled on a slightly larger 18 footer with a 50HP outboard. It was similar with the same type of curved plastic windshield. They were really solid boats back then!!
