Ha ha ha!!! That's kind of what I decided. When I saw it, I was like "oh shoot, it's basically barely a step above half of a set of combos. But the price was $25 and I decided that if you don't like it...great, bring your own ski next time!!
I mean, not exactly like that maybe, but at least for a time, yeah it will have to be good enough as a boat ski. I did buy it, so I can put up some pics just for the sake of history and research.
