Hey Guys, New Here and figured this would be a good place to introduce myself.
My name is Tyler and I grew up just outside of Edmonton, Alberta.
I Learned to ski behind the father in laws 1980 something 16' swift sure with at 120 Johnson in 2006 or 2007.
Got to ski a few times a year until we moved to Sparwood British Columbia in the spring of 2012. Since he wasn't really using his boat he lent it to us for the summer of 2012 and 2013 and we used it almost every weekend from May - September, but since he planned on using it more in the summer of 2014 we had to go without a boat.
So after a season of missing skiing almost every weekend I decided to see if I could find a good enough deal on a for myself. I had done some research into direct drive ski boats but wanted an out board just because of the nature of the lakes around my place.
In the spring of 2015 I came across a 1993 Ski Brendella Barefooter with a 225hp Suzuiki about an hour and a half away. And after a little research I decided this boat would be a great fit for what I wanted. Went and looked at it March 8, bought it and brought it home. First day in the water was March 22nd (2 days after the ice dropped), First ski was March 28th and on April 11th I managed to Snow ski in the morning and water ski in the afternoon.
