My father built the boat in 1956 with the help of his dad. My brother and I grew up water skiing behind it. The boat had a 25 hp Elgin when first built, but we out grew it and my dad bought the 50 hp Chrysler to help us to water ski as we got heavier and older. The boat performed remarkably throughout the years. It,s a great boat!
