Interesting find.
I wonder if the grandfather had any old photos of the boat hidden away.
There may be a number behind the bow eye (where you would clip the trailer cable), not the lifting ring.
Funny - Matty’s pix upside down when I click, 45171 are right side up!
What a crazy world. :)
Better pictures might help narrow the range, gas tank may have a date, but will be inaccessible.....
USC?
Nice boat.
Expensive, but nice things usually are.
Make him an offer - you never know.
:)
Nice, honest boat at a great price.
And RARE!!
Congrats and welcome!
George would be glad that the boat has found a good home.
You might have to start a separate thread for the Riva!
Sorry to hear.
A good guy.
Very glad I got to meet him at LG several years ago.
Although very frail, he had driven his Corvette and oxygen bottles WOT to be with the group, now that's...
Nice original boat!
Cool colors, cool outdrive.
Good luck with it and keep us posted.
Derek -
Boat looks great!
I think the last time I saw you was just about dark, you were almost out of gas, looking for a gas dock, and had a girl in the boat.
At least that was your story!

Greg-
Thanks again for this opus.
It's been a great read, exhaustive and thorough.
And a good time to bring it to a close - Spring Training has begun, it's almost baseball season!
Sad news.
One of the good guys.
Condolences to his family and friends.
Matty to the rescue.

Karl - I think Performance Marine in Bolton Landing swapped a Blackhawk drive with a Bravo and had a good outcome. Not sure of the exact particulars, but they are...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the boat. Sounds like you've got a good plan.
I loved my '67 Ski Sporter and tried to keep it as original as possible or at least in the...
Barry-
Thanks for the update.
Please ask Shannon to send Ed our well wishes.
Yep......
No need for windshields, just grabrails.
Speaking of goggles, Matty, do you have any pix of Rev Rick mid air, ski goggles deployed?
His passengers probably would’ve appreciated helmets, poles and release bindings! I salute him (and...

Second year, no windshield, better decals!

Functional - Yes. That morning, my first Dust-Off, was a little drizzly.
Only time I ever had the fastest boat!
;)
The windshield was cool in a Secret Service, muscle car, Riva...
Sadly, yes.
Glad I got mine spring of 2017.
Next year, I’m sticking close to you two!

Bob takes nice care of his boats (and Goats).
His 1970 Ski Sporter in 2008 - as nice a Ski Sporter as I have ever seen.
Hope you can bring the 18 next year.
That was AWESOME!
Thank you.

Is that the new Thompson Exhibition Building?
I'm a usual suspect and I'll be there.
In fact, I'm heading up tomorrow for my pre-Dust Off Awakening - no swimming is planned!
JP - Glad that the boat is back together and running well. Start...
