I just LOVE late ’60s and ’70s sport boats. This was the era before tournament ski boats became family boats. The Chris Craft Super Sports, the 16′ and 18′ Donzis, the Formula Jr., the original Sea Ray SRX Pachangas!… If you had one of these boats with an 8 track tape player installed, a pair of aviator shades and a puka bead necklace, you were THE MAN!
