It would run eighty plus. This was very impressive for 99 cubic inches on a four passenger pleasure boat. This rig was special. All red metal flake, with the coolest of all consumer inline sixes the 1500XS. In all my years in the business, if I could have one rig back today in new showroom condition, it would be this Viper.

Reading through this thread again and this time I took my eyes off the Viper for a moment and saw SO MANY other things that were WAYYY cool during my younger days.

Maheraja slaloms, Cypress Gardens pairs, Obrien Team Comps, looks like some 'Lil Monsters, 'El Diablos, Big Monsters or 'El Brutos in the CG stuff too. Still have a Maheraja I want to restore.

Love this thread.

Thanks for posting, Bernie

I still have my "Lil Monster" slalom ski. It's a lot harder to get up on than it used to be!

I remember graduating from the "Lil Monster" to the "El Diabalo" I thought I was real grown up. Now I'm an old guy who can hardly get up on two

At least you CAN still get it up!

I always wanted the El Diablo, but the one boat place in the town I grew up in sold the one ski they had before I could save up enough money. So, I made my own (kinda) out of an old "Polar something" (can't remember what it was exactly) combo ski we found in the reeds out at the lake. I called it the "Samurai". It was so cool to tell my friends I had a custom made ski.
