Oh heavens no.

When I was her age, I took a pair of old first gen non-wooden Connelly skis that dad kept on the in the boat gear closet (Glastron, baby!).

We cut off the rear stabilizer fins with a hacksaw and used them as snow skis in our hilly neighborhood.

He was…NOT HAPPY.

We had that live with an old Glastron boat in the late 70’s. Had a Johnson 115.

Same boat they used to jump the canal in Live and Let Die.

Good stuff right there. Is it paste yet?

Happy 60th anniversary to Batman (1966), based on the television series of the same name. The Batboat was built by Glastron. In exchange for their cooperation, the producers agreed to hold the film's world premiere in Austin, Texas, where their headquarters are located.

World premiere of the Batman movie in Austin, Texas, 1966. According to KVUE,Glastron, the company that built the Batboat, was headquartered in Austin & "the company didn’t want to be paid any money for fabricating the boat....they asked the movie’s producers to host the film’s premiere in Austin.”
