I dropped my boat off my trailer on a steep ramp onto the ramp pad............ so I pushed the boat in the water with my trailer no problems lol

looks well built , on the river once i saw a 12' boat that used a power head from a yamaha engine did 30mph. kid friendly. I think these kind of boats were popular in the 70's and 80's. I want it !!!!!! id try to get it for 3k looks like a dealership posting

The hull re enforcements added cannot weigh more the other things you lighten LOL

All winter I've been thinking of ways to make my boat faster lighter stronger more spacious and all around better anyone have any big ideas for theirs ?

I want to see more pics on this thing I'm excited to see your design

I was wondering how many people on this site have made a jet ski boat /jet jon etc and what kind of crazy stuff they have used their boat for as well as a list of specs. top speed, est hp, boat length, weight, manufacture of engine/pump,etc . I for example have a v hull 115-125 hp arctic cat...

You're right about the swirl having better hook up and not getting fouled by weeds but it traps wood chips really bad like a door stop and starts cavitation at 4k and 3mph lol hookup has never been an issue yet / v hull the steel plate is like 40-45 lbs it was used in the tigersharks with the...

what psg and i were discussing were is a light weight no displacement while moving design like a skipping stone that is propelled ideally a design that moves like a snowmobile over water but floats when stopped. i think this would be an aquatic machine only with limited beaching ability. through...

The limiting issue with using a sled is water going full circle around the track, but fortunately for us there is an infinate variety of different tracks to experiment with . I think it woult actually be fairly straight foreward to construct a tunnel and a drive, plus you can skip many...

I would really like to see this thing go !!! I did a similar build like psg-1 did before he went to a yamaha engine. got a tigershark1000 suzuki tuned to about 130hp. used a gp 800 pump 10mm smaller than a 1200. im at 18/21 pitch and need to go bigger to get my speed up im at 3/4 throttle and 6k...
