Arltralite 2.5L inboard hydroplane

The hydro beside the sponson is an FEH. for a couple of boats in the same speed range, there sure is quite a size difference

Looks great Matt, nice work. Is David's FE boat ready yet?

[Abbott Racing]

Matt, once again awesome looking boat. It would look great in our driveway with a T motor

I drilled the hole for the shaft today, made the seat and glued the dash in.

Wondering what I drilled the hole with. Its a 2" holesaw cut in half and welded to a 4' long tube. One of the pictures shows the piece that came out of the hole saw.

Wondering what the white cloth on the seat and dash is. It is nylon that gets peeled off after the glue is dry, saves alot of sanding.

Great work Matt, what type of boat is that sitting on floor right next to the Inboard.

Matt,
Watched Billy at the Loch in the 125 rig. It looked perfect coming out of corners and the way it lifted/popped for the straights!!

Thinking this would make a good rig to carry my 25MOD (now on short Bayer tower) ,C-MOD MERC(short tower), and maybe my 202D/OSY-400........I'm still 195lbs.

Will get to test my C-MOD Merc on Fitz's-- B+H rig that Charlie Fry bought last year, ----at Ford City.

Molded boat worked well with 25MOD in C-MOD Monday (with the (Billy) HUTCH wheel) as long as I was out front in good water. As soon as a couple Yamatos got around me (on second lap), the trenches they leave got interesting/exciting in this rig

Have done some testing with the molded boat and the closed-up 22 OMC for BSH and got to run it at May-Franklin race and it worked very well --61-62mph.(stayed on Mike Thierfelders outside chime for 3-laps ).


what do ya Think--------------A?
