I sold the boat after 3 years of hassle and rebuilding it, then finished it with the buyer, and we took the first ride together. what a blast. the holeshot is silly as boat is only around 225kg, kevlar/divinicell sandwich, and a 225 yam with mods putting out.. 250ish?

hopefully the new owner will have fun this summer, its really pracitcal with race canopy on covering the rear ;)

not pushing it hard as its barely started, owner has a HD videokamera, so he should be makeing som good stuff. also now fitted with a mach sterncleaver turned down to fit on the yam, so should be fun testing with that prop.

ex raceboat, one of the last built, serial 15

These boats are awesome!

I´m from Sweden, the neighbour for Norway where these boats were made, and had just one like it but with a 2,5 EFI Merc. :reddevil:

What speeds are we talking about with the Yamaha? :smiletest:

Like it!
This one here is sweet as well. Some of the best jumps I've seen.

T-20 is the girly version though, built for pleasure, not race, much heavier, and no race canopy.

Sweet!

Tell the new owner to get a real life jacket!

Hi, I did actually tell him, its scary fast.

when boat is left overnight, it wont go on plane without running choke, it will just die if you floor it, and/or if it goes over 1500rpm. once its been up, you can nail throttle and it jumps out of the water fast, only with a slight hesitiation. Im no good at carbs and havent adjusted anything after I got it from you. perhaps make a thread in tech I guess.

Sounds like it needs more fuel at take-off. Start by screwing the pilot screws outwards, a quarter turn at a time. Remember how many, so that you can go back to where you started.
