Speedliner, what do you know about the history of that Jupiter (some things about it look like the one I built in 1964-5).

I have an old Swift "skeleton" that needs a lot of love. It's basically the transom, frames and stringers with no skins.

I was going to refinish it, but don't see that happening any time soon.

It may be a larger BSH, but I would need to get some dimensions and pics if you are interested. Send a PM if you want to know more.

Jupiter Hydro

We do not know much of the history of this boat. It was purchased three years ago from Ray Hudson in Montana. History before that is unknown. It has an epoxy finsh that is in decent shape. Looks to have been stored in side and has been done so since our purchase. I will see if I have any more pictures, if not I will take some in the next day or so.

I sold mine to a John Wise in Oregon in 1966 for $95. As a raceboat it was lousy; slow, bad turning, glued to the water. I ate Region 10 roostertails running in 12th place or sometimes a hard-fought 10th place for a season. I bought a new Karelsen BSH in '66 and learned what a real raceboat was like, wonderful! Had to sell the Jupiter to make room for the new boat, but hated to do it, because as bad a boat as it was (it pitched me out in the first and second heats of my first race), it was my first hydro, I'd built it myself, and it was beautiful in my eyes. I wish I had kept it, because I eventually learned enough that I could have corrected all of its faults. Well, I still have the plans (hmmm, maybe I should find somebody with a good converted 20H and trade him a B Loop or Anzani for it . . . ).

I love the look of that boat. I recently bought an original set of plans, so that I could pull them out every so often and just look at it.

Sorry to hear it was such a bad race boat.

I believe that Dub Parker did some mods to the Jupiter and was a winner in the pro classes.

I swear I am going to hurl this devil-possessed POS (laptop) against the nearest piece of concrete I find, despite having just paid a guy near $400 to get it going again. I laboriously composed a long answer here, only to have it vaporized when I hit SEND. I would be delighted, overjoyed, to go back to 1965 and my poor old Jupiter, to a world without personal computers (among a lot of other over-sold technological "improvements").

What I said was that my Jupiter might have been worse than others. I said a lot more, but . . . screw it!

With a few more pix from a few more angles, I could likely tell if the boat for sale was mine. Aw, screw that too.
