boatdude144

Hello,
Ive been lurking around this site for a couple of years while building a 144 for a hydroplane and wanted to say thanks to every one for all the info here. I couldnt have done it without this site and the handbook!
I posted a video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThCyWKjW-6E

you may notice the transmission I am not building the boat to race ,just for fun and want to be able to dock easily

Jackfish.There are definitely speed limits on the water.Excede them at your pocketbooks peril.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Ya you're right, I've seen those boats go air-born on TV!
 
thAT'S COOL, PERIOD. . .

'always read a lot of the Falcon Six performance interest and equipment originated with the Hydro racer class. I've seen B&W magazine copies of period engines but it's great to see one in action..

Thanks Guys

Here in massachusetts I think anything over 45 is considered speeding

The police boat made a beeline for me last year when I was out in my 8foot outboard hydro.

Turned out the officers brother in law builds wood boats and he just wanted to check out my boat! :)
