Jacques, a new design idea, zero draft!

Post by Yorkshire-Dry »

:D

I was launching my boat tonight, came across these guys test running this home made craft 8O

It is a 14' or so alum built, (welded) onto a 170 HP skidoo. Makes one hell of a noise and gets on to plane in a fasion. keeps right on going over beaches etc. Most amazing of all is that it actually floats :!:

I'll be sticking to wooden I think.

People die every year from their snowmobile falling through the ice, but I doubt that design will help with that too much. :doh:

I wonder if it's got similar performance to this boat.

Hold tight, this is one of the wildest boat rides you'll ever see video taped.

Shoot that's just another trip back to my red fishing holes. Guess it would be kinda fun to make a video like that.

Later...........Steve

So, why did Babba put so much flotation foam in Mad Max if the water is only 6" deep? *scratchin' head* I thought Mad Max was built to fly over Niagara Falls? *scratchin' chin*
