Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi Guys,
As many of you know I have had a lot of fun fixing up suffrajet and making her a reliable boat, but the unescapable fact is that the jet doesn't provide enough speed for nice knee boarding or skiing. With Grumpy still some way off another ski boat is needed for skiing and two choices are presenting themselves
Choice 1 1979 ski craft powered by a valiant 6 (Seems obvious one but wouldn't be my kids choice) $5900 I know these are great boats but small.

Choice 2 1982 Flightcarft liberator also valiant 6 powered with v drive $5000 open to offers. I know nothing about these

All I want is a minimum fuss ski boat that can be played with by two reckless teenagers. I know daughter and Son would prefer the plastic boat, but I also know that I won't have a boat for club events . Friends or family?

Advice and abuse for even thinking about a plastic boat welcome.

Buy the cheap glass boat and let your kids at it. You can always buy another wooden boat for events.
Ive almost got a boat for every excuse I can think of.

Buy the plastic, the timber one looks like it will need work soon, and you don't need two in bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
