I picked this up today (I actually get it tomorrow). I have always wanted a classic inboard ski boat, so I am pretty excited. Thoughts? image1-3.jpeg image1-3.jpeg

Very nice ! A few months ago I almost picked up 64 Ski Dart . Unfortunately I drug my feet and someone else nabbed it up ... It needed some major work though ..
Looking at yours makes me wish I had pulled the trigger ..
So what are your plans ?

It has the original Chrysler 318 in it. I bought it sight unseen, and am going to pick it up in a few minutes. I will assume it doesn't run and needs a complete rebuild. My plans are to do a complete restoration. New stringer, floor, interior, you know the story. I think it will be a great project and something I would keep forever.

Well, it is officially mine. Got it safely tucked away in the barn waiting its turn to be "new" again. Sure not much out there about these boats...
