   After several years of very little use I decided to downsize and sell my 82 SN. I am keeping the 96 SNOB and ordered new skins from Christines as a fall project. 

I bought my 82 around 1996 from the original owner. I remember the owner being very excited about selling it to a young skier. I used it for many years, until the kids needed some more space and we moved into the 96 SNOB. I kept the boat all these years for sentimental reasons.....it was the first purchase the wife and I made after we got married. Actually, I bought it and she freaked. It was nicknamed the house boat, as it was bought prior to a house. It all worked out and we are still together!

I taught many kids to ski behind the 82. One of the kids, now 25, was the one who ended up buying it. He wanted it to ski behind. Not wakeboard or heaven forbid tube. 

The boat will continue on with another generation. Time goes by too fast.

	Very nice that it stayed in the family. You had to be pleased.

	Great story, I'm sure in 5 years when you see him on the lake maybe pulling a 5 year old on some combos behind it, you will feel really good! Pics?

	Great story!! So so cool that it not only went to someone who will appreciate it, but that it's still in the family too. Thanks for sharing.
