There is no record of this boat in their system. I’m not surprised as it has not been registered for 50 years. That would be some serious, vacuum tube machine to store that data.

Thanks for the guesses, Andreas. I will check with others in Wisconsin if that could be the origin.

The trailor works great. It is heavy duty, has nice springs, forged axle and 15″ wheels. There is no damage to the bottom from the bunks but I’ll consider building better support if I trailer it any distance. Fortunately, the boat launch is 1 1/2 miles away.

And don’t blame me, I had nothing to do with it – really!

(I did go throough Dora Canal one dark December night at 2000 rpm – adjusting wake speed with jet drive clam shell – found a few ole soreheads, but that’s another story). Nope, 1500 is a good wake board speed I should think!
