I saw a miniature version of an old unlimited hydroplane being trailered recently. My question is, does anyone make these things yet? This boat looked to be wooden about 20' with the engine forward of the driver. I've never seen one before. Anybody have any ideas?

Check out these pictures. Look at the blue boat I believe it is what your talking about. I talked to them at the show. I believe they can build them fron scratch. I can't remember who it was but I'm sure I can find out if you are interested.

I don't know of anybody building them. There is a website with a couple for sale. I know of another that has plans available.

One of those looks similar to the one I saw. I would like to find one made of fiberglass so it could handle some real power. Cord, where did you see the boat or plans?

Some interesting reading on this site. The classified are kinda neat. The discussion board really doesn't function. http://www.vintagehydroplanes.com

The guys have a bunch of vintage plans, but no inboard hydros. http://www.glen-l.com


These are the guys with the hydro plans. The plans are pretty good, but they reference to hardware that hasn't been available for 40 years. http://www.clarkcraft.com/cgi-local/...g=013&cart_id=
