When I was down at Emerald City the other day I saw this in the show room. This hydro is really a vee bottom pleasure boat. :eek: The big block engine is in the rear with a Merc out drive, and the exhaust in the front is not real. I hear it's for sale for 30k...:lookaroun:

I saw this boat at one of the ACBS Antique Raceboat Regattas. I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now. I suppose it could be a nice runabout if you got rid of the silly cowl and tailfin. I never understood the old hydro styling motif applied to the monohull design. It's like one of those old Fiberfab kit cars with the MG body on a Volkswagen bug chassis. It only fools you for a couple seconds, until you get closer to it, then you start scratching your head.

The price as as much a fantasy as the phony cowl and tailfin.

Maybe it's more like a Cobra kit car w/a small block.

Looks to me like a Jet boat converted to a prop drive.
