Also, JW Meyers builds or will sell you a kit for a very fast 700/1100 runabout!+

Wow... Looks like a good deal to me... it should sell. As mentioned before, try also selling on EBay. And the rest of the motor also... in addition to the AOMCI web site.

Good luck with your project.... the Yamato Y80 will be perfect for you....

[mercguy]

We absolutely help each other out.....without that we wouldnt have anyone to race against......same throughout all of APBA. Heck, we even loan out powerheads, gearcases, props, etc....

FYI, if you are dead serious about racing 700r......buy a NEW 700 Konny Konny powerhead from Mike Thirlby......i...

[MadProps]

is there a filler block required for that exhaust?...

[Special K]

Anyone interested in a brand new racing exhaust. Never had exhaust through them. Payed $550 for it back before I started to educate myself.

That proves without a doubt that my boat will be fine and the motor will work great. Thanks for the video.

I haven't raced my Y80 since the 70's, but I still use it every year just for fun. They are an extremely reliable motor. It would probably push your rig somewhere in the 50mph's, maybe more if tweeked. Here's a video of mine from a couple of years ago on a shovel-nose hydro I used to race:

Art great talking with you. Happy B-day. God bless you.

A regatta in Franklin. PA, just south of Erie, is coming up quite soon, not so far for you to drive. Check the APBA website for the regatta date.

I live in Ohio. East of Cleveland on the shore of Lake Erie. Can see the lake from my house to check water conditions before we go fishing or take out a jet ski. No hydro events way up here that I know of. Seems I would have to drive 3 1/2 hours to one in Springfield Ohio maybe.

[deeougee]

Yes your absolutely right. Conventional hydros were the norm up until the late 70’s. Raced in practically any water conditions back in the day also. Conventional and picklefork boats carry the same chute speed but conventional’s are slower in the corners because they don’t generate...

Special K,

Where do you live? You certainly seem to be interested in hydroplanes, but instead of trying to figure it out here on Hydroracer.net, you really need to meet up with some people at a race or a test day in order really understand what this sport is about. For instance - you...

Special K,

The remaining part of your motor is worth something. Go to AOMCI.... stands for Antique Outboard Motor Club Inc.

AOMCI are people who collect antique outboard motors.... someone will be interested in it. Also, sell on EBAY.

The power head is used for...

Seems as if any response I send from my email to a PM sent to me does not go through because I never get a reply. Maybe I’m doing something wrong which seems to be common for me if it’s hydroplane related😂😂😂😂😂. But the 1991 seadoo 580cc jetski didn’t do much...

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.

[Special K]

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.
