About pulled our arms out of the sockets, but we all finally got out of the water and ski'd by the end of the day. He ended up buying the boat, and we were out on Beaver Lake (NW AR) lots, and all of us were on slalom within a couple of weeks. We did not know any better than to ski at WOT, even cranking into turns and swinging wide - must have hit 70 to 75 on a slalom ski leaning out to keep the rope tight. It's a wonder no one died....
