This Goodhue-Hawkins Cruiser is pictured on the Mississippi River in 1910.

That has been fixed. There is now no limitation on the number of attachments.

Here's a brochure that arrived today from e-bay. If I remember correctly from the text above this would be about 1940.

Water Skiing in Alton Bay 1950 - I can't quite place the angle of the shot, does it look familiar to anyone?

It is funny now how none of this is legal, when it was all legit at one point and with less restrictions than we have now, kinda makes you sit back and think, maybe there are too many rules? Maybe because of the restrictions there are more problems, maybe, maybe maybe anything else
ahh the good olde days, of which I was not apart of due to age

Agreed.And the Legioneer pictured above could not boast about giving 65 mph rides anymore.I already yearn for the good old days in that sense.

First it looks to me that the Alton Bandstand is in the background. The dock with the flag jutting out in the left background looks familiar to me. I'd say the shot was taken where the Bayview condos are now and they are skiing too close to my dock !
