    I am looking to buy an old Sea Skimmer watercraft. These were VERY unusual watercraft made in the early 60's. You held onto it and it towed you through the water. You steered with your legs. They were an absolute BLAST.

    Does anyone know where I might buy one in ANY condition? I am attaching a picture for those of you who have never heard of this forerunner to the jetski!
