Does anyone that is racing in Big Rapids have Kevlar jacket and helmet they could share with me? I almost have enough money to buy safety gear but not quite enough.Thanks guys I will be running 20 hydro and am size xl.

I am interested. Just removed my exhaust today from the mercury so I can sell it. Not sure the powerhead is worth anything to anyone.

Will be sending you more information and pictures later today by email,if you are still interested.

Well I tried to stay away from this thread since last night but decided to check it and my email. Seems no one else is in agreement with this Rodney character at all. So who is he anyway to make me think my boat is basically dangerous and could never be raced. If I’m not mistaken the shovelnose hydros...

Done....

Special K, get the Y80 and go have some fun. Looks like a cool boat and a Y80 on it would work very well and run for many many years.

HA HA...

Crazy Joe Ott hauling the mail with his 10' 1954 Neil Hydro with a Y80 on the back! Safe to say Special K your boat can handle a Y80. This was Joe's favourite boat ride by the way. Loves this boat. The boat is for sale, less the motor, if anyone is interested and it has history.

I think Special K if I understand correctly, is trying to do what Pete has going on with his program. Certainly a nice boat and a cheap Y80 would certainly do the job.

Not necessarily Tom, I just sent him a video and it is pretty self explanatory. His boat is perfectly fine for a Y80 for what he wants to do, certainly a lot more suited than what’s on it right now. As far as spending 10000 for a front running boat to race? First off they don’t exist, they become what...

Thank you very much Brian I appreciate the info.

Yep, available at the race when you register...

Thanks Rodney 34 for loosing a motor sale for me. How do you know his boat won't handle the 80 motor???
We just lost a possible boat racer down the road.

I guess I’m going to just cut my loses then and part this thing out. Not the first time I’ve had to live and learn. That’s why I ask so many questions before I do anything crazy. If the boat is dangerous, I wonder what it was used for back in the day. Maybe a display piece for what not to put in the...

I just went to page one and relooked at your boat, you couldn't race it , it's too dangerous..

A fine Sunday morning at the lake with a y 80 and friends in a patrol boat..

Because It will blow over and send you into the drink ....

We used to year apart the y 80 and put them back together in under an hour for inspection.

A simple fast work horse motor for your boat....

I might have a chance to race at big rapids can I join for the weekend and do I join at the race sight? Thanks I appreciate it.

Yes I will give you a call soon, working 15 hour days...

How are you guys in region 10, everyone helps everyone to get them on the race course? Because I am getting serious about it, making a bunch of money in oil .


( Got to spend it on something)

Looks like I already asked that question. But in my defense and all you guys favor, this sport/hobby is not as easy as one might think to just get into unless you have $10,000 to buy a ready to race rig with all the gear. And there is a huge science behind what you guys do. I do vintage motocross and...

This race is going down next weekend! I have been doing a roll call for the event via Facebook and direct communication through text, email, calls, etc. If you are planning to attend this event and I have not yet heard from you please respond and let me know what classes you plan to participate in next...
