One we finally move and get set up. I still wanna put my vintage Merc 800 on a little 12-13 ft hotboat and make a little critter that goes real fast, at least 23 pitch at 5500 kinda fast. The boats name is picked: "Ski Biscuit" -W If I were you, I'd register it in Australia so some off-her-rocker wench doesn't do the same and sue you for fifty cents. Cute name.

We're looking at lakefront property in S.C. - wife is in charge of house
hunting. So far we got an offer on this place within 10k of target. I feel spring "selling season" outta do the trick (hopefully). Once I get my own dock, I plan to have the PM-II, a newer party barge powered by my 1958 Mark 58 (yet to be named) , and "Ski Biscuit" which will be a Hydrostream VooDoo powered by my '61 Merc 800. The VooDoo was rated for 50hp, but a lot of people are putting that Yamaha 70hp (propshaft rated) on them. My Merc 800 prolly makes about 70 at the prop. So long as I don't over-trim it, I stand a good chance of not blowing it over. ![]() The PM-2 will just break 50 if I *ever* get around to hopping up it's big inline. I want "Ski Biscuit" to go 60 / 65. EG -W "Harry Krause" wrote in message news:bv0v3a$mkjm0$2@ID- Cute name. Where are you planning to run this little suicide boat? -- Email sent to is never read. |
