I've lived near Lakes all my adult life, have spent many hours boating and fishing on it, and I've never seen anything like this item. It's the Aqua Bat 150 SeatSteering water ski sled. Made by the Yoder Manufacturidng Company of Little Rock, Arkansas, I think it's from the late 1950's or early 1960's. The Aqua Bat is essentially a padded seat mounted on a pair of laminated water skis. The seat is attached to a set of hinged bent 1 pipes that allow the skies to flex and provide steering capabability. The skis are 5'9" long from tip to toe and are 7" wide. They're of laminated wood construction and seem to be in very good used condition. The red painted surface shows light wear but actually looks pretty good. I love the retro look! There is a hook on the front that I guess the tow rope attached to.

The Aqua Bat is a fixed 30 1/2 inches wide from the outside edge of each ski (no worryihng about getting your skis crossed and taking a tumble) and the seat is a padded 11 x 8 x 2 3/4 inchs and is mounted on a network of hollow cross bars about 12 inches above the seat, hinged. So you can--by your feet--tilt the skis and steer the sled. The seat mounting pipes are 39 from front to back. The rubber feet cups are in good, pliable condition but need a careful cleaning with warm soapy water and a brush.

All in all, the sled is in good condition to be 40-50 years old and used on the water. None of the joints in the flexing mechanisms are rusted tight; it's ready to take out on the water. There are some minor flaws by my fingers in the pick nothing major the one bolt just needs a small rubber gasket a washer and nut.

Please look at the pictures they are part of the description. Thank you for looking at my auctions! The item "VINTAGE MCM 1950'S AQUABAT SKI SLED 150 SIT STEERING WATER RIDE ON toy raft" is in sale since Sunday, April 18, 2021.
