Having not grown up water skiing I do not have any old slalom skis I could use and do not really know anyone I could ask. May poke around at my dealers boat show next week tho.

I was wondering if anyone of the many avid skiers on the board would be willing to sell me something cheap? I am looking for as colorful and outrageous as possible in graphics. Doesn't matter what kind of ski. Biggest thing is I would like it to be longer than 66".

My plans include 4 MasterCraft shot glasses and I am sure a decal or two. I am still contemplating the best way to secure (either permanently or temporarily) to the ski, but will research more as I get everything.

I am avidly searching craigslist etc. Obviously trying to stay very cheap. Thought this may be as good a place as any to start.

Thanks! Also feel free to post pictures of your shot-ski! I am in the early stages looking for ideas!

Hey mlawler34 I do have an old Obrien Performers combo you could have. Looks to be from the 80's Not wood, and the graphics aren't as cool as the Jobe in #21 but it is purple on the bottom with purple and black graphics on top. If you're ever in Boyne City you could pick it up.

Dangit! I was in Boyne last weekend!but I will let you know. Purple would suit my fancy!

Thanks to Rockman for making this project that much harder as I try to live up to that shot ski!!!!

I see the shot glasses are set into the ski, is there anything in the recessed hole helping to hold the shot glass???

The holes are drilled all the way thru...tapered on the bottom so the shot glass fit snug...

I would suggest using the most flat ski you can find...curved ones may not work so well.

My wife took the oldest, dirtiest ski we have hangng in the rafters in our basement and her friends did a great job finishing it as to what it looks like now. With all the skis we have, I did not notice one was missing...

It will get plenty of use tomorrow night!

Fantastic ski and heck of a gift!! I think you should break in the ski with a round of shots to celebrate today's W versus Michigan.
