Danny,

Here is a name for one of your boats,

"The Dirty Water Dog". :drink:

Referring to the hot dogs on a Hot Dog Cart in downtown Newark, NJ :evilb:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

I would agree, leave out the stereo, they can get very wet, I have rolled many of them. The first boats where narrower, turning them was real fun! The first Cubs where made by people from Flight Marine it was a 1/3 scale of the Cougar designed Flight cat. Cougar then cut one into three and made the tunnel and hulls wider and that was the Cougar Cub, still have a set of moulds but have not made one for 15 years.

When it comes to the Minis and the rough water, one boat comes to mind....

And if one lucky person is able to get the last boat I built for myself... beware. :eek:

That person will be putting a hurtin' on ya's! :evilb:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

With its very own reversed chine for cutting the corners and adding lift.... :evilb:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

And of course the custom transom reinforcement molded thru the splash well... :drink:

Damn I miss that boat! :(

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Oh yeah that was a compliment :)

Where did that wave crusher end up Sharkey?? Do you still get to see it??

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

:eek: :eek: :eek:
That thing is sweet!

Im going to have to borrow that stringer idea for the cat. :hammy:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

The last I saw it was in Brick.

Who knows where it may be by now...? :(

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

It's worth every bit of the work. If you do it, you will not be dissappointed... :drink:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

How's the prop selection for the small Yamahas? I have a line on a late 80's 70hp Yamaha, if I can get cleavers for it I will move on it, if not gotta keep looking for a Merc or Johnson.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

On ,my merc we run a 12p (labbed and cupped) vengence prop.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

13' Bullet just came up for sale here. Sharkey can tell you about these.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

I'm not sure, I never had a Yamahaha...

It had a stock aluminum prop on that one.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Too bad, if anyone is looking for a late 80s 70hp Yamaha PM me. Guy said it has good compression and runs. I haven't see it. He said $500 takes it.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

tim i have it now.... that thing is built like my cafe.. i have not taken it out yet but its killer... i dont know much about these little boats but this one of yours is solid..

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Thanks!

It's nice to know she is in good hands! :drink:

Here is a little primer for ya! :drink:

Bullet Racing in New York

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

very cool, boat is not in the water too much is it....... :D :D

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Not with the 75 Johnson on the back! :evilb:

Now if you thought that video was cool, watch the rest of them: Sharkey's Bullet 130 Videos

You won't believe your eyes. :eek:

I still can't believe it myself..... :D

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

:eek: :eek: Maniac :D :D Nice vid (Bullet 190 1st time out) .. what did they take that with an ole 8mm?? :cool: or was VHS out by then?

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Close..... :D

It was a hand held camera with a portable vcr recorder attached via a cable. I was lucky any of those vids still had any picture left in them.... :eek:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Stecz,
This is what you have under the floor. 3 separated compartments.
Bottom is built with Vinyl Ester resin, 1/2 Balsa Core and Bi-Directional 1708 glass.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Transom area.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Behind the dash....before the last owner had to modify it for the Yamaha key switch I guess....

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

very nice.... im gonna bring it up to the marina this week and clean her up... ill take some pics... do i have the 46 skater of mini boats, i think i do..... :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

Other than the vacuum bagging.....yes! :drink:

You will find two drain plugs on each side of the bilge. You can open them to check for any water. I wouldn't think you would find any but put the plugs back in and tighten them. They should keep the areas under the floor on the outside of the stringers air tight.

Re: 13" Mini-Hawk
 

I wasn't crazy about the windshield someone put on that boat.
Maybe consider changing it to an all fiberglass one like I had on my 1st Bullet:
