Yes,I am racing this boat this season. the engine started life as a Evinrude 70hp fishing motor and has been extremely modified. The song tittle is "Miki's Lush Beehive" from the MERMEN CD "California Health and Happyness Road Show". Thanks for watchin !
I work at a Johnson/Evinrude dealership. the banner was part of a promotional deal a few years ago. Ask around at a dealer near you , they may have one ! Sorry to say,mines not for sale. Thanks for lookin !
Thanks Jeff, Had another good season this year,lots of fun !....Building a D hydro this winter and hoping Santa will bring me a video camara to put in the boat for next season....fingers crossed...
This is not true, Jon was interested in the designs and continuing to supply my kits, but this did not happen, he never finished the acquisition, therefore does not have the design information, nor the rights to reproduce them.
I think it was a little over a year..(I didn't work on it every day)It could be done much sooner if time was not an issue! The model is a JDS formula E, or what is now known as 850cc modified outboard
I am looking to build a hydroplane like yours but on a smaller scale and I can't find any plans for this model. IF you have a website I can go to please add it on.
The 3 cylinder outboards make a lovely noise.I remember hearing a Crescent 3 cylinder running over here in a hydro at Oulton Broad in the 70' s.
Very Awsome photos of the boat.......!!!!!
Great results too....
Thanks 🤙
How do you get the kit I want one?
Who has plans for this cheers
When I was a kid I had a class B hydro and that baby of yours must really be a thrill to drive...
thts gorgeus, great craftmanship, you have got jesus hands!!
That is an awesome little boat. The smaller the funner.
what plans did you follow/kit did you buy?

Wow that brings back memories.When I was growing up my next door neighbor built one of those and put a 85 merc with a short drive.

thats awesome, beats my 8 ft Tiny Titan with 10 hp Merc hands down, lol. just watching this gives me the hydroplane itch.
