I dont mean to hijack this topic too much more but my fater recently passed away on new years ever and we were going through some old photos and came across these pictures. Until I found these, the one picture and the video I posted were all I had of this boat that was the reason for my love for performance boating.

These pictures were taken in 1976 (I was 2 years old at the time) and the one is my mom and dad and the other is my dad pulling a few skiers like he always love to do. My mom was a pretty amazing water skier and was even on a few post cards and stuff back in the 80s promoting a few lake resorts. My mom said that old 15 foot factory comp Hustler Wildcat with the old 850 inline Merc pulled 5 skiers a few times with no effort. It was also really fast too when we werent pulling skiers. I would still love to find one someday again.
