Applying the sharkskin to the hull while IN the water would be impossible since I want to protect the part of the hull that IS in the water.
I have a Chris craft 202 that I keep moored in a lake that has stained the hull with tanic acid. The hull at the end of the 3 month season has a...
Well that explains that! Thanks for that info. I have since been able to redesign the drive to allow it to steer. Since I'm working with a...
'Member the guy that put a motorcycle engine in a hydroplane about 5 years ago? That would be me. I now have a plan to built a runner style or...
Yep, still alive, wish I could say the same for the boat. :mad: I got it in the ewater, fired it up, and grabbed a hand ful of throttle. Almost...
Once I get it in the water and running to work out any design flaws (and there may be a few) then I'll build my intake. I've been an auto...
Try Dillon boats. My son has built one. Very light and easy to construct. He is powering it with a 35hp evinrude and hopes for 50+ mph.
I bought a motorcycle that had been sitting for a long time. The carbs were junk. The manifold is just to see how good the engine was. Once I...
Here's a picture of the final drive. It's 16 to 21. If I have to change it, all I have to do is change the sprockets.[ATTACH]
It's getting there! A little wiring, some fuel lines and a cable for steering. Gotta love that Ebay for the rudder. Only 40 bucks. The...
I used the Castle Marine prop calculator and a fast runabout hull weighing in at around 800 lbs and spinning a 9x16 prop at 6000 rpm will get me...
Flyer 15, a boat tailed steped hydro of the 40's, with a transom like the Stancraft Torpedo 29.
I live on a large lake that has no speed limit. The boat will be built by me out of wood. (This won't be my first project) Seating for one,...
I'm in the planning stage of building my next boat. I have a marinized 150 hp Mazda 13b rotory engine and would like to know what hull would be...
I had those plans as a kid (I'm 63 ) and they never got used. I was thinking of getting the plans again, but would rather do something on my own...
I already have a vintage hydro. It's a Hal Kelly design called Ben Hur and it has a motorcycle engine in it. Now I want something that's powered...
I'm ready to start another "off the wall" boat to build while I wait (still) for the machine shop to finish the jack shaft for my motorcycle...
That boat looks like a boat that I've seen for sale a couple of months ago. It was called something like Jet Star. It was powered by a jet...
My son is now building a Dillon tunnel hull, so this means the GW Invader is for sale. Boat is ready for paint and rigging (no motor)
I built a Pee Wee runabout from Glen L plans. I can get it to plane with a 7 1/2 Mercury. I weight 190 Lbs, so it took a while to get it on...
