I've got a ton of old ski photos and thought it would be fun to post them!

Rolland Hillier (don't know who he was) 
Here is an old Correct Craft (anyone know what it is?) 
1972 Promo Ski Nautique being used in a Ski Show 
My Dad Orrin Augensen after winning a trophy for tricks in 1967(notice his homemade trick skis! Pauly-Banana called them the Augensen3000!

What's with the trimming of the binding up by the toes on one side?

Cool pictures!
The old CC in question is a 1st gen Ski Nautique... probably a 65-67 judging by the steering wheel and bow light. With that motorbox, I bet it was Chrysler powered. |

I think the bindings were suppose to be custom fit. Left and right foot only. There was a local guy that used to make them, Bill Kosloski. (Not sure if I am spelling his name right).

I guess the boat does look like similar interior that Pauly had in his '68. Just looks different without the windshield.

The giveaway is the raised character lines on the bow of the boat. 1st gen for sure. Is that an orange '72 promo? It looks more like a yellow '71 promo with the cursive lettering on the side. |

Not sure about the color. It could go either way! These were scanned into my computer from old color slides. They have been sitting in albums for years! |

No old skiing pics on this computer, but here's our old Skier! I know I've got some pics of my old man driving the boat, mullet flapping in the wind!

I wish I still had those old tricks! First pair I learned on! I have an old Wake Tech 69 wakeboard that would make an excellent bench! |

No problem, everyone has a beginning point! I love the chair inside the 1972 for watching off the boom. Great pictures, the colors look really good for the age of the pictures!
Also, I like my life vest better than the orange one that you got stuck with! I have Pauly and Marilyn working on theirs! |

Here's me getting up behind the 77 SN, in probably 87. Incidentally this lake is VERY close to the lake we currently have property on in Eagle River.
Here's the crew, the old man on the transom. Circa 1987. This boat is responsible for all of this CC sickness. This boat was Chevy powered (I remember the "OMC" risers) and was the Chain Skimmer's show boat in 77 or 76. Belonged to family friends who stayed in Eagle River all summer and had all of their kids in the ski team, all original 'Skimmers.

Now I see, what I thought was the arm from a seat is the pylon ring finger! Ouch! True how could a chair really fit in that area! Everything seemed bigger back then, because we were smaller!

I posted this video a few years ago in BKH's "first boats" thread. It also has some skiing in it and I guess its been long enough to allow a "repost"
No show skiing and predates our 66 mustang...but still, some old days ski footage.
