Help with boat identification please ???.

[Diegoboy]

Ok, does anyone has any info about this Parma Ski Gator that I can use. I am having a hell of a time finding info about it ??.

What kinda motor was in it, 380, 540, 550 can ?. Does anyone have any pics of it ?. If not I was thinking of a tiger stripe paint job ?

See Post #11:

RC Modeler magazine Feb '91 has a review of the Parma Ski Tiger

HERE's one for sale

[wingnut]

just went thru the old mags and i don't think they reviewed it. they reviewed the folansbee hydro but it doesn't appear they did the ski tiger.

This magazine does, unless Parma made a plane named "ski tiger" too

I should have known better, but I instinctively looked for a website at the end of this 20 year old magazine article when I was reading the company info...and I`m old enough to very clearly remember the world well before the internet.

Had to give my head a shake there...

Love those old magazine reviews though...maybe we should start a thread with people posting more like this. It sure makes for interesting reading.

Yep, I am 35 and remember as well. Everyone's in to much of a hurry these days, I take plenty of time to enjoy the little pleasures in life. One of which is playing with my rc's. Some people don't understand it, and think my life revolves around toys, you just feel sorry for them...... I don't think I'll ever give it up.

One of the funnest things to do back then was play the 8 bit Nintendo NES, when we had free time. Usually late at night. I still have one or two of them as well, he he he he he.

I guess finding a replacement hatch is outta the question, however it was a simple hatch. A flat cover with 2 driver's.

The hatch measurements are 5 3/8" wide x 11 1/2" long, just a simple rectangle. Does anyone know of another hatch that might just fit the bill from another model. If not I can get some drivers and make one. Thanks for the help guy's !!!.
