damn the whole story is amazing! you have such a great attitude about it all . i mean that would suck. im worried about the boat im currently riding has two leaky scuppers and i fear the same as a result.. i ordered some versa plug max's but there lagging on getting here. this is only my second ride on mine and it keeps stalling out when i do roll's behind the boat from all the water in the engine compartment from them damn things. hopefully i make it thru this weekend,and by then my plugs should be here..0h yea your ski looks bomb!! like new.any ski that can endure that sh#% has to be hardcore !! cool story .i just hope mine has some foam in it. ha!
