I certainly remember the twin Merc Hydrodyne that the Pacradooni's (sic) had. They used to go just fast enough to win. I had friends on Pitchwood Island that raced, I think they even used a 16' Mirro Craft with a small Merc in some of the races. Some skiers would use thick jump skis to absorb the impact for the longer races. Those were the days, lots of fun. As a kid, my dad had a friend that loved to take me and his nephew skiing. We'd head out early, take the trip around Rattlesnake and back and all around.
Oh to have my arms and legs back
