The really "Old School" boating thread

[Sharp shooter]

Taperflex vests, to go with the skis...I still have all of my family's old skis and vests, my mom and sister used the Ladies "form-fitting' style. My "ex" said they were sexist, and refused to wear one on that basis......yeah...that's another reason she's my "ex"...

Lol!!!

Spike, my dad learned with 60's equipment and fought anything new that came after that. It was tough getting him away from the styro foam belts and into the jacket style like you posted above. He finally switched in the 80's. We had dual handle 75 foot ski ropes and Dads favorite ski was a wood v-bottom ski that he made himself. One lesson I learned from Dad before his passing was that newer doesn't always equate to better and I'm not just talking about the boating world. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir right Spike?

Busted! Yeah, I pretty much feel that way about some things. I like people to know, however, that I don't live in the past, I just have a deep appreciation for some things that were right the first time, and shouldn't have been changed.
