Baller tlarocque Posted April 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 6, 2020 Not sure what exact year or model this Brendella was but I saw it a couple years ago on a trip to Wisconsin and it was in stunning condition. That's my daughter trying to figure out what I was making such a big deal about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MidMOSkier Posted April 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2020 @immikerowley more interior picks would help me as well. I'm restoring an 89 Brendella and none of the seating/trim is original. Your pics have been helpful so far, especially the gunnel upholstery.

Baller markn Posted April 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2020 Looked at the $16,550 list price and calculated in todays dollars, it would be $34,500. That would be a true bargain in today's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller pcmcon729 Posted July 25, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2022 Brendella was a big supporter of competitve skiing in NH back in the nineties, with lots of promo boats at the tournaments. I drove and skied many at these events, and they had a great boat for an affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted July 26, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2022 Have many sets behind my ski partner's 1989. Fun boat, very good pull with PP. Had to stop skiing it due to wood stringer issues. Anyone ever tackled the job of installing new stringers? I know it is no small task, but the boat was running so good, and near perfect times. And, the nostalgia.

Baller GaryJanzig Posted April 2, 2023 Baller Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Look up the Ron Tanis videos restoring a rare bird. He restores a 1988 American Skier including stringer, floor, and new foam in the floors. I know a guy who restored the floors in a 1984 American Skier. Good winter/offseason project.
