Lol! I hope not!

There are earlier Hot Boat mags than that 1st edition I posted. I'm not sure how they tie in but I have several. I also have issue 1 or powerboat and water skiing magazine. I've been collecting for decades.

I've seen them from the 50's. Was supposed to pick up a box but Fireball got in the way. That's ok, I know who has them

I'll take a wild stab (I don't have the #1 issue of Hot Boat) at the boat on the cover -- it might be Norm Wilson's "Karon" ski race boat -- a Rayson Craft -- Norm was always a Hemi guy and liked Weber carbs. The "Karon" name came from his son (Ron) and daughter (Karen) -- and I don't remember if I rode in that one or not, but I did ride in his blue/whilte low profile Rayson he bought a year or two later.

Yep. As for the bonus points, close enough. I never did any of those things in the blue one. Never even saw it. Only boat of Norm's I ever saw was that one.
I did all 3 in one day at the Landing in Havasu, I thought I was king for a day.
