Right after college I drove ski boats (interestingly enough it was a Hydrodyne Grand Sport) and taught kids how to waterski at a camp - we had "camp names" and mine was Big Kahuna.  Don is my real name.

Wetamb is short for wetambitions which was the name of my first Baja power boat. Second much larger Baja was Tapped Out.  Traded for the SeaRay which is Getchawet.  AM skier doesnt have a name yet, even after 20 yrs..... Besides, I get enough crap for BJ so I figured why use that !

Gonzo is cool. I wondered if it was because of the drummer on the muppets (at least I think it was the drummer) also I believe they called John Bonnom (Spelling) from Zepplin Gonzo.

So your in good company in my opinion!  8)

I thought I would bring this tread back to introduce myself. my name is charlie shy, hence the screen name. I have owned my a.s. for 10 yrs. boat owner for 15yr. ski bum since I was 7. I'm a auto mechanic so I do my own boat maint. I would like to thank ron & dan for all there information & help. I have gone thru some old post & learned alot. I have a wish list on hold with ron, i will order when I get boat unraped. I live in north central co so lake still had ice cover last week, but it has been warm this week ( near 60 ) but with lake near 8,000ft it can take awhile for summer to get here. so for now I will try to snowmobile till the lake opens in may ( or till it stops dumping snow) thanks for the forum. will try & post some pics when iget the boat out.

Same logic as RonT.   My name is Paul Martel.  I am the original owner of a custom built 1988 American Skier Advance that pulled five brothers barefooting, simultaneously!

I'm a firefighter in Arizona.  Hellfighters is an old John Wayne firefighter movie.  It was also the name I gave our academy class.  334 is my command number.

Dax is my name. When I started college I had just gotten out of the Army...I was pretty wild, to put it mildly. About this same time the movie Gladiator had come out. Long story short, after an epic keg stand surrounded by frat boys and half naked co-eds at a pretty decent yard party, I drunkenly jumped on a table and screamed out "are you not entertained!!!" 

Been Daximus ever since.

Good thread to introduce myself ...

Long time avid offshore angler, with an affinity for the Atlantic sailfish (also called ‘spike fish’, ‘spindle-beak’, ‘spindle-snoot’, ‘mylmeen’ (mostly in USA))  I named my first fishing boat, Spindlebeak.  Fast forward, 18 years, and here we are.  My 10 year old daughter loves to ski and hydro-slide, so no better opportunity to add a classic ski boat to our family.

Over the weekend, I was fortunate to pickup a nice barn kept 1991 Legend.  In fact, the listing was on this forum.  She will need a little TLC, but all in all, she is in very good shape.  The maiden voyage was this past Sunday.  Other than a leaking water-pump, it was a huge success.
