The description digs deeper: here theprice is £5,95 for both C16 and Plus/4 versions, the enhanced Plus/4 version is claimed to have an additional event called "Power Boat Racing", and there's the clear evidence of being a 32kB big game.


Clues
The description written on the advert let us infer this is a two games'pack:"Water Skiing" and "Shooting the rapids".
This might suggest that there's a link between this gamepack and other well known Anco games: Speedboat Grand Prix and Canoe Slalom (Anco).

A straight description comes from another advertisement:
"Experience the sheer exhilaration of POWER BOAT RACING - Negotiate a complex SLALOM COURSE - Rise to the challenge of a SKI JUMP. Three exciting competitive events. Enhanced Plus 4 features.".

There are rare and mixed infos about the C64 compilation released by Anco as Sports-4, Sport 4 or 4 Sports Pack. Anyway, the compilation also includes Canoe Race and actually Power Boat Race (also published by Eurogold as standalone with the name Speedboat Race). All these games have just been developed by Red-Arrow Software.


Evidence In Commodore User Issue 34
The Worldwide Software had the C16 version of Water Sports (July 1986).
