    Hard to believe this was 30 years ago. I modified a utility trail to hold a three seater SeaDoo on the bottom and my stand Kawasaki up on top. The Sea Doo pulled water skiers all day long. Our three sons and their friends joined us most weekends in the summer at Elephant Butt.Butt Lake Gang.jpg

    Mine was a 2 stroke 550 Kawasaki stand up. Much harder to ride than it looks. It took me a whole summer to learn to ride. My guy friends would always say 'I can ride that'. OK bubba, do it. They would always forget what I told them that the ski will go in to a circle idling pattern if they fell. Every time without fail, they would immediately fall, pop up and start swimming for the ski. In all cases the ski would circle back to where they fell in and they were not there to climb aboard.
