    Does anyone know what kind of Twin the Shawano ski sharks used to have. I am just curious. I think one other team had one to (Shermalot maybe) it was a pointy boat.

    It was, I believe, 21 feet and had a bracket on it. Shermalot had one just like it also. I believe Shermalot's boat had twin 300 V8's on it for a season. My understanding is the turning radius was very large on them as they do not roll up like a dyne.

    Must Skis is correct. It was an eliminator. I have a video of Shermalot at state using that boat. That year they pulled I think 3 or 4 barefoot pyramids behind it.

    Has anyone heard if the ski sharks are still in existence. I cannot find a website.

    Yep, they've had a bit of a resurgence in the last 3 years. I helped them rig up a used dyne twin about 3 years ago.
    I think they are running the twin dyne and a single rig of some sort.

    Did they say what happened to their eliminator twin.

    When I talked to them a while ago when they were trying to restart the club, I thought they said the boat had been given to the dealer in light of some money they owed or something. Pretty sure the dealer had it a few years back, no clue where it is now.

    They seem to be doing well now, not sure if they are planning to compete again soon or not.
