On 2015 CCFan Calendar Photos thread Peter1234 jokingly asked to post a photo of his Formula. There are a lot of multi-brand owners on the site (Centurys, Shamrocks, Dunphys, etc) and I'm sure many. like me, would like to check them out too. Show us what you've else you've got!

Engine is stock, runs very well, pump is very tired. Runs 58. It has a bit of a v hull and so rides well in chop, and very smooth handling at high speed. I love jet boats, they are a blast to drive, can turn extremely hard. Very fun boat! ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |

'88 Malibu Skier and '03 Malibu Sportster. My BIL bought the Skier in 1992 at Lake Lure, NC. Coincidentally, a friend of ReidP's was the Malibu distributor and ordered this boat. He called the colors, along with the somewhat unusual PCM engine "the White Lake package". This was our regular ski boat from '92 to '03 and we taught most of the kids in our big extended family to ski with it. The '03 we bought new and has been our regular ski boat logging about 90 hours/year until last summer when it only clocked about 30. The kids growing up and the addition of Dave's BFN have really cut down its regular duties.

Darren, it originally was based on a Flightcraft boat and came out as the Tantrum in the early 90's and they later put a different deck on it and nicer interior and called it the Sportster. It was their entry level boat. I think they made them until 2007. It's a bare boat with few options. You got to get your Atom in the Diaries. It's a good looking boat. Do you still need a trailer for it? |

We picked up a 1977 23' Penn Yan Avenger tunnel drive mid August. Its powered with a righty 318 and had a beautiful Acme 542 on it. The 542 was way too much prop so we swapped it out with a 13x9. Now the ski boats can be dedicated ski boats and the Penn Yan will be the people carrier.

I'll play the Toon game. My 197? Riviera Cruiser nicknamed the "Riviera Boozer". Bought it a day before our wedding to use as a dock for pontoon shuttles to drop off guests at an open lot at the end of the lake. Towed it down the PO's driveway with a flat and the tire rolled off at the bottom of the hill. We inched our way down the road to my house and swapped it onto PicturePat's trailer. It's survived staying in the water for a few winters now and will someday get a new deck, some Correct Craft inspired parts and reunited with it's Mariner outboard. (My dreams of retrofitting a 302 and Velvet Driver are probably a little to far fetched for this little toon) PicturePat dreaming of ripping down the lake a 12mph  All set to become a dock....for the next 3 years   ------------- |

Transom is good. they had a unique transom in that the wood didn't go all the way down so less likely to have water find a way in. The motor is a 63 Merc 650. It was rated for 65hp so that is what I found for it. |

Polaris Msx140 and Polaris Virage TX. MSX is mom and dads and the virage is mine. Virage has: Redtop Carbs, Hot Seat Billet Head, Ported cylinders, Removed Planet System, Beach House Sponsons... It was tripple pipped but I got an offer on them and the MSD Ignition I couldn't refuse so it went back to single piped. Still fast but a little more subtle. They've only been used about 4-5 hours a season for the last few years. I'd really like to sell them both and get another UTV but my mom and sister are still attached for some odd reason. http://s256.photobucket.com/user/treybizttu/media/IMG_4144.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  02 Wellcraft I/O... 108 Hours and dang near perfect shape with original interior.

This was out first classic boat that I found in a field in Albany Township, Maine. It is a 1962 Custom Craft Manter Ray. We sold it and moved on to our 66 Mustang.
