TOPIC: You know you have too many boats when...

A registration renewal shows up in the mail and it takes you ten minutes to figure out which boat it's for.



Turns out it was this one:


That reminds me - has anybody heard from Ephrem lately?

Gee Bill, what kind of boat is that? Curious minds need to know!

First small one I have seen. We have a few larger ones over here on the chesapeake; the engine is further back and there is much more room inside - can't remember their name. Might have been hydrodisc or hydroslide or something like that. I have only seen them with red or blue gelcoat decks and white hulls. Seems like different companies but the idea (round, no steering) is the same. I do recall the circraft name though, but yours is the first I've seen.

dang! that looks scary! cool, fun, and, a little scary!

It's a CirCraft made in England. Seven feet in diameter (that's what stumped me on the registration - I have several seven footers of various ilks) rated for forty hp! I can't imagine towing a skier with it, he'd pull you all over the place. Looks like they made it from the late sixties on, and I remember seeing a link on the internet recently to a place in China that was making copies, but you had to buy ten or more.

I got the one in the picture from a backyard on a backroad up north.

Maybe just a little different way to file registerations. Never too many boats. Tom

one showed up at san antonino lake belonged to some guy in the shifters car club. pretty wild to see it go
