As many of you know I have just completed restoration of my '74 schiada 22 V-drive for this year anyway and after a few trips to Elsinore I launched it at Havasu last weekend for the Schiada regatta. The boat ran great and my wife and stepdaughter enjoyed the ride. During the resto I contacted the former owner (two back) who lives in houston, texas and sent him some photos of the boat during its resto and yesterday I sent him photos from the weekend on havasu and he replied back with an enthusiastic appreciation for the photos. He had raised his kids skiing behind it and apparently was the 3rd owner and I am the 5th. its cool to think about where our boats have been before they fall into our hands. He was stoked to see the boat in such good shape and being enjoyed by a family. Good stuff all around so I just thought I'd share the story with you guys. Pics are on Schiada Notta Regatta under Trav's pics toward end of thread.
