The really "Old School" boating thread

[gn7]

I knew Sally from school in Hacienda Heights ...didn't realize at the time how much she accomplished in water skiing!
Pretty cool being pulled by Panic Mouse!

Not only did that girl hauls, she was very easy to look at. Not sure why, but she left the sport early. She could have accomplished a lot more.
I don't believe she was pulled by the Panic Mouse. Stearns was. I think she was pulled by Bob Nordskogs Viking Spirit.
Bob put up the big show with a couple box vans, bunch of crew wearing shop shirts, banners, the whole deal. He made it quite the deal. At that time, Nordskog Marine Center was building the engines for the Panic Mouse, so they used it to pull Stearns.
