Fantastic and I bet she was the envy of her friends male and female !!
Love that !!
I hope you don't mind I did a copy and print .
I am now retired in china and have someone that will get wildly interested in this !!
Where I live we are surrounded by water where ever you look or go, but non of it ever gets used by any one ! Its makes me cry to see all the potential go to waste !

It's a Cougar Cub, A Bob's 10" Jackplate and Delrin solid motor mounts and a Custom Built PowerTech SS Prop make it run stable....38 on the 25hp by itself and 62 when it's on the bottle!
6 years ago I put in all new Mercury Guages, Cable Steering and a Bilge Pump in both Sponsons! The motor's electric start and the seat covers are done with the Mercedes Benz Stitch!
I haven't even started it in 5 years so it needs some TLC but it's for sale, Cheap for what you get!
$2200. inc trailer!!

Son says 2k will take the little Cougar Cub home. It will need trailer tires or just bring a flatbed to haul it!

No, I'm too busy to get loose or I would have gone to Odessa, Tx for a Fam Reunion this weekend! 2000 is his bottom dollar!

Any one know the history, manufacturer, model,
etc behind this one? I've named it Little HydroDream! It's about 8' long.

Thanks,
Kevin

Make sure you have a cupped prop on her and jack the motor so the cavatation plate is at least an inch above the bottom. The water p-up is on the exhaust snout behind the prop so there will be no cooling problems. Be sure the flywheel has the elect.starter ring gear removed. You can cut up to 60 thou. off the head(start at 45 thou.) but you will need to mix fuel up to 98 oct. if you get to 160 lbs of compression. Set up is the most important (motor as high as possible) and if you get her to spin over 6k rpm you need to use GOOD oil at least at 32:1(25:1 over 6.5k) Make sure throttle linkage is tight as carb and timing will not be at full setting if they are worn.I have modded a couple and hope this helps.
