Anybody got a zip sled in the shed or under their deck?

They used to make tiny plastic boats about 4' long, about 2 ' wide and 2" deep. They would hold one kid with bent knees and an oar without taking on water. We would tie a rope through the hole in the bow and do a raft start behind a 13 whaler. The little boat would fly off the raft. The floor would buckle, and it would bounce like crazy until it threw you out like a rodeo ride. Talk about a good time!

C n C I remember well the "Jaws" moments……waiting for that disc to come knifing back up from the deep….and hoping it didn't make direct contact with you as it broke the surface! Like anyone could produce a product like that today. Found a picture of one in the process of being restored. Nothing more than a plywood circle, they probably got 2 of them from an 8' sheet or maybe 3 from a 10' sheet.
