    I bought mine in 1989 from the original owner. Still have the boat and it's still running strong!

    The pictures were all taken in the early nineties.

    That is a beautiful rig. I like those wishbone trailers.

    When I was single I used to have babes in the boat.

    Now it's babes of a different kind!

    The cool thing about the white Dynes is that no matter how old they are they never seem to get old in coolness.

    I'm going to get a wood rimmed wheel . I have been looking at them. I almost bought a Nardi.

    Swvski1 was about that age when she started skiing.

    Here's the dash. Pretty simple layout.

    Speedos
    Tach
    Tilt gauge
    Gas gauge
    Nav light switch
    Bilge switch

    Here's what it looked like when I first bought it.

    The original cellophane logo sticker was yellowed and cracked, and the rims weren't the sportiest.
