Buxrus Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 So found this in the attic. Still have box. Anyone know what this is or how much something like this could sell for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxrus Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Here’s another ski that was found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BlueSki Posted June 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2020 We have one and tried to ride it. It worked, but I am glad I was not the one on it when the plastic fin broke off due to the water pressure. I’m sad we didn’t get video. To answer your question, maybe $50. $40 if the buyer only has two 20s in their pocket. The Cut’n’Jump looks like it would be worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MichaelGoodman Posted June 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have one of those used to get up with that and another ski then drop the other ski the tow boat was a 12 foot aluminum boat with a 18 horse Johnson we would ski all day long behind it.

Baller_ Wish Posted June 15, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted June 15, 2020 Got one on display at my house. But wow ? is that mint. And with the box. Consider calling USA Water Ski and donating it to their museum...if they still have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbojan Posted June 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2020 My brother had a ski similar to the ski skat, we called it “the widow maker” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted June 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2020 My neighbor was cleaning his garage and this was on his dump pile. It's a "Super" ski scat, looks lethal to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted June 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2020 Those are sought after boathouse decorations. We have a matching Cypress Gardens one also . Don't sell it - display it! I remember riding that thing. Couldn't see anything - only spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller waterskicorey Posted June 16, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 16, 2020 @Buxrus are you interested in selling the ski skat? If so what would you like for it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibrain Posted June 16, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 16, 2020 I would like video of someone riding one. It’s about like a canoe paddle with a fin, right? Or a slightly-evolved version of @dchristman plank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted June 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2020 @skibrain I'll make you a video this weekend. The Ski Skat is a little tougher to get up on than a canoe paddle, but I can still do it. I'd like to get a hold of one of the larger ones like @dbski 's and try to run the course on it.

Baller dchristman Posted June 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2020 Here you go @skibrain - a Ski Skat deepwater start and I even threw in a toehold for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MitchellM Posted June 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks for posting that great video! The spray looks lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted June 18, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2020 @dchristman Perfect. Not much surface for a deepwater! Thanks so much. That’s a really pretty spot to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted June 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2020 @skibrain that's the Schuylkill River about 25 miles upstream of Philadelphia. Nice for trick practice mid-week when the jet skis and wakeboard boats aren't out but not great for slalom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted February 15, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 15, 2023 Winter crazies shopping. I plan to get through the course on one of these this year. It's going to be easy! These are like a Wide-Ride and a Big Daddy compared to my proto Denali 0.5. It'll be like cheating with a fin and bindings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted February 16, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted February 16, 2023 @dchristmanthose are for back when getting on the water and playing around was fun. That's not allowed anymore. Unless of course you have a few adult beverages beforehand:) 2 If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted February 16, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 16, 2023 Still have an original from back in the 70’s . Huge spray all around but don’t try to turn it . Just ride it . Then check the box - done that- and back on the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted August 5, 2023 Baller Share Posted August 5, 2023 First attempts at the course on the Skat (the middle one in picture above). I'm not sure I have it set up right. I measure the front binding at 17-3/8. Fin is 7.562L x 4.187D and .750 dft. Anybody have other settings I can try? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted August 7, 2023 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2023 I don't know, @thager , I can run 43 on the Denali and I didn't get past 3@15 on the SSS yet. @BlueSki It's certainly a challenge, but I think the mini-course might be more fun than the mini-ski. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
