Thank you. I'm partial to it myself

Dumas Hotshot w/3.5 K&B. Its the aircooled version of the engine and has the lowest power, but still looks good.

This is sitting in the office also. The stand was my first project with the new mill. Nothing much but its good to have the boating stuff nicely displayed.

How about this? It's a scale model of a Broccoli C-Runabout, powered by a vintage Sea Fury .049 - and I have run it! Scoots right up on plane and runs free. I have to either set it at an easy arc or straight with a chase boat.

This is an older photo of the boat, as I have since added a modern style cowling.

25 years ago I raced a 60in V-bottom with a OPS 60.
Chas. SC

Randy's Hobbies was the place for us.

Randy himself won a lot of NATIONAL events back then.

Also was into planes at the time.

But loved that boat.

I won a division in STK 60 class. then when they pulled the liner out the engine! Guess what? BUSTED!

little port work. just a little!!

OPS back then you could pull the cyc liner and do some work.
We did all kinds of stuff.
But it was fun!

I guess that stuff has changed a lot over the years.

is this boat made by Dumas if so could u please tell me the name i would like to have a rep of my vector and this is close thanks

That boat there is the Hornet. Its made by Byrds boats. Don't know if they're still in business or not but that boat sure was the closest to any HydroStream I've ever seen. The boat in question wasn't much of an oval racer but did get up on the pad and run just like the real thing.

Here's a link.... http://www.byrdsboats.com/

That Is a new h&m twin wing! Killer Idea of a boat. I wonder myself how It ran!?!

That was Peter Muellers boat , he was not allowwed to run the boat at the race site because the design is not yet approved by namba , therefore not covered by insurance even for open water . They did run the boat at a local lake though and I think all went well .
I raced five classes and had a ball along with Rich Junker and his son Zach .

Yeah I knew they have not ruled on the vented hull yet... I think It's crazy! Those hulls should be able to run IMHO!
