    Default Ads from Water sport magazines

    Here are a few random pages of ads from water sport magazines that were taken out over the years. This is just a sample. I have a lot more and would love to publish but for now, this is it. No steak dinners on these if you have something better.

    Thank you for the pictures of an actual Sport. There are quite a few subtle differences between the 81 and 82 Sports.

    From what I can gather from these brochures and have seen in person, the Star had a short side window with no railing, the Sport had same windshield with the long raked support arm (compare to the Rider) and the Beast had a longer triangular side window. In an interview with George Fowler, he mentioned they played around with the windshields but the hull was the same for all 3. You could choose 1 out of 3 engine options for the Star and Sport but the Beast was strictly 454 Chevy.

    I hope these 40 year old brochures are enjoyed by those people that own the few remaining original Stars, Sports or Beasts.

    I picked up a 1983 Supra Beast that pretty much needs everything but seriously want to build it out and make it true Beast. I love the vinyl and color combo and once my Rider is redone, will definitely consider.
