If anyone is heading north from Florida to Georgia up 95 to Virginia to Maine I am looking for some help getting a trailer up here. Thanks in advance.

Still for sale?

Thank you Keogler and Trampe for being the first two supporters for 2020!

Can someone here tell me the difference in the length of the omc 70 hp 3 cylinder rod and the big twin rod? And also is the wrist pin the same diameter...

Kellys boats, built to his spec, were heavy, but robust, and easy for a amateur to build. His 9' 'OK' was a great way into the JU class, using the KF5 or J60 motors. The 'Jupiter' hydro was fast, but hooked badly if built to spec. Better (longer) versions were built by Hedlund and Dubinsky. ...

Trailer is sold pending payment! Insert is intact!

Lol, yes dean. I’ve learned that from my current trailer. Lost my insert when I first picked up.

As a precaution make sure the box floor removable section is securely attached and will not come loose while traveling down the road. I have heard of this happening..... and you lose all the stuff inside.

Just saying... as a precaution.

Wow... what a great looking trailer.......

Ok. It fits, now I’ve just got to figure the money out and pickup schedule. I’ll contact you this week.

Ok, great. I’ll get back to you shortly.

William Jackson was quite the designer back in the day. However, by the 1960’s those Mechanics Illustrated and Popular Science and even Hal Kelly plans were no longer good enough for APBA racing once Sid Craft, Marchetti and others were on the market.

The good thing was that with...

Let us know the results....

Matt, it is 75" including the top rack, flatten the tires and get a 68" height

Suitcase is packed and ready for testing............. ...

If that boat is 8' long, it is the 'Hasty Hydro' by William Jackson, published in MI , AUG, 1960.
Would have been quite the ride with a KG7H....

Interested! Can you give me a max height measurement(without boats on top)? Need to make sure it fits in my garage.

Anybody old enough with memories good enough to remember any of these racers? ...

Not a minimax. But I may have found the plans from the same company, Muskoka. Looks like it may be the Hasty Hydro - 8'. Thanks for the lead.

Sounds like that could be the "Minimax" plans....

just wondering if everyone is safe out there with the shooting and the virus happening?

I'm looking for plans for the hydroplane my brother and I built in the late 50's. It was 10'long and we ran a 10 hp Merc with a quick silver lower unit. Thought it was a Glenn Li design but Glenn L's have a vertical side on the the cockpit and small cowl in front. I think we ordered the plans from...

Me too.... That’s how it started for sure.
