I was able to test drive Sully’s MC today with @eddie_roberts_jr as my driver. It’s been a while since I skied (Nov 15) so luckily he wasn’t expecting much

[EricKelley]

Owned one for years, wish I would have kept it. Glad he's keeping it going.

Beautiful boat.

I get to ski behind a ‘79 S&S...a fun old tech boat...

[75Tique]

Always liked the old S&S boats, but ended up leaning toward Nautiques.

Here I am behind a 72 Promo Nautique.

There are a few of these among the CorrectCraftFan membership.

Love the passion around these classic ski machines! Good to see Eddie our enjoying the first warm days of the year here in Seattle. He was the driver for that wakeboard/snowboard video from a few weeks ago IIRC. ?

I wonder if 40 years from now, we will see pictures of the 2019 SN, with the Caption "I JUST PAID MINE OFF" !!!

Here is a 1993 owned by one of my ski buddies. It’s in great condition. @Mateo_Vargas knows the skier.

One of the guys I ski with has an '84 S&S. They've probably had it 15 - 20 years and it just keeps chugging along. Nice boat to ski behind.

[Mateo_Vargas]

@MISkier yep I know that skier. I know that ski as well. Bought an identical one from his brother at The Edge. I remember skiing a college tournament in the fall of '92 at Camelot that had both red & blue versions of that Stars & Stripes. So maybe I've skied behind your buddy's boat?

[MISkier]

@Mateo_Vargas, if it’s a 1993, then probably not his boat. I don’t think he was a promo driver or used his boat for tournaments.

I’ve never had the opportunity to ski behind one of these boats, what is it like? Oldest I have skied behind is a 92 prostar 205, always wondered what the older ones are like.

[Ed_Johnson]

@dnewton ... I had a 93 Pro-Star, and can honestly say, it had one of the smallest wakes and smallest troughs I ever skied behind. It may have even been better than my current SN 200.

 

The only negative was that at 38 off, you could get hit from the spray, like little rocks hitting you. Otherwise, it was GREAT !!!

 

 

[Dacon62]

@sullyski very nice ride. Can you give us some background? Is it original, restored? Motor in it, etc.

 

@MISkier love the 93 S&S in blue flake. That might be my restore project sometime in the future.

Almost picked one up years ago but it was on a mismatched trailer.

[epnault]

I love the look and sound of the old boats. Dam that is nice

[Jetsetr]

The old MC and my Brendella just sound Bad Ass...not annoyingly loud, but either idling or @ 3500 working JUST RIGHT...

@75Tique is that John Murphy’s Promo your skiing behind? My absolute favorite boat at the ABCS show from the Correct Craft year. Orange gel, yellow interior and obnoxious Waukesha Green manifolds on a blue motor, 1970’s at its best! Almost Best looking year for CC.
