Thanks to Marty Mabe I bought another RC Ski Nautique from a fan in MA.It was in good shape just needed a little fluff and buff. It came with a wood stand but I thought it would be better on a trailer.

I remember one of these pulling "Skippy the skiing Squirrel" at a boat show when I was a kid.

To the best of my knowledge they are no longer being made. I found the blue one on eBay and Marty found the red one on Craigslist MA.

Tim the long winter is over we got the nauti wet today we should be wakeboarding by next week.

Wow, I knew it was going to be good when I saw the bondo being used to smooth out the fenders. Nice work and incredible attention to detail.

Very nice, Next winter you can do the tow vehicles!
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Funny you said that.
When I was at the hobby shop I asked if they knew where I could Find a 1/18 scale model of a 05 GMC van. I wish somebody made scale models of newer Nautique boats.
