A little power
:Raining:Been slowly progressing:Slow1: A BIG THANKS
goes to my cousin Russ. He knows these little motors inside and out. He got the motor all checked out and serviced.
It had been sitting around for who knows how long before I got it. He also loaned me a sweet little Italian prop to try out.
Still collecting and detailing parts. Everything is in mock-up stage so far. Don't know if I'll get it wet this winter. But if there is a sweet day and I'm ready...you never know!:Bigdriving1:

Sweet looking ride Gordon. I like it. That should put a smile on your face for sure. With that prop, you could do a vertical takeoff.Steve Kiesel

I think that all of us deserve a little hydro in our lifetime.

Not Me Man
Yep, small and fast.
My neighbor was really into those and raced them, but he was a Big Fella too.
He got me involved in the Portland area with the racing of these and I was just blinded by the speed, like NO Fear!.
That is until I cough a wake at full speed, the nose went down and out I came like a rocket.
I didn't even have time to turn to see were the boat was, once I quit bouncing on top of the water. That was Just before it landed almost on top of me.
From that day on, any Hydro racing that I would see, the first thought once the boat flipped was, Is it going to miss the driver.
For me, they are Fun to look at but at my age, you will never get me in one again :Scared1: (here is were I need a "Chicken" smiley)Helmar Joe Johanesen

Great times/great story Helmar. That is exactly my point, all of us should have a similar experience before packing it in.
