I see the number 430 on it. If thats the motor in that thing (and he says it's 2 cylinders) I bet it doesn't run but around 40 mph......very slow by today's standards. Still cool to see but I bet that pickle fork doesn't really add anything other than cosmetics.

You'd probably have better luck with a newer style motorcycle motor (similar to the newer jetskis). You can get a used 750 motor in good shape with wiring and everything for around $1000.

Buy something else. I have seen these before and they are slow and wet riding. Underpowered and the certainly do not perform like a fast hydroplane. There is a reason they only made a few and are rare.

I think it would be kinda entertaining to try to ride like a mountain sled, opposite foot on running board turns...Course thats turning the oppsite way...
