Default boats and skiers

I did not see it mentioned but Jimmy Calvin had an inboard, his place was on the east side of the bay near the public beach. It was a white and brown boat and was it nice. Don Purdey (spelling??) lost his arches I believe in barefoot sking in Alton. He had one of the early Coronadoes. I think the ski club also used the little legionere for sky shows as well.

We did not do 70 mph behind the puddy-tat, but with our trusty 18 hp Johnson we pulled a lot of ski's with that. Yes for the good ole days. Sure was fun. can't wait for Ice Out...
