Depends on if you want a vintage or modern engine, how much you weight and how fast you want to go. Any 8hp -15hp two stroke with a standard lower unit should give you a smooth ride like this video. Always install a kill switch. ua-cam.com/video/DaC0mGope0Y/v-deo.html I'm liking my 8hp Yamaha two stroke on non-racing small craft. 58 pounds.
The silver two cylinder Yamato outboards pull start with a rope, the rope does not rewind back into the motor. The loud 4 cylinder Mercury outboards, some teams have a battery powered starter motor that they place on top of the flywheel and then detach once it's running.
So cool and looks like fun!!
God I miss doing this. Used to race boats in Texas back in the early 80s ran B1 hydro and B1 runabout. 25 horse Johnson on a Mercury lower unit
😢
This looks so fun

that was fun!
Darn I miss doing this I’m in Queensland and ready to but and start up again racing
I have a 8ft tiny titan. What would be the best option to power it

What are they pulling off of the motor when they launch?

What speeds do the 15hp ones get?
A stock outboard hydroplane - 48.3 mph 3 mile circle race, 52.6 mph 5 mile, -- 64.5 mph kilo record --
@@slowstartfast2162 Wow impresive!
i thought hydroplanes had helicopter jet engines on them
The Unlimited class Hydroplanes are powered by Turbines.
Had to mute... Boat noise only please...
