Thanks for the link on the second video. That is cool stuff. I love the look of the Evinrude high performance mid section.

Gary Garbrecht was president of Aronow Powerboats at the time.

You have to run any outboard hydro tucked under to lift the stern. A "three point" hydro runs on the two sponsons and the prop, until it becomes basically airborne. You must keep it running either level or slightly bow down at all times.

:

I don't think so. I believe that this is the company that Gary sold to Reggie, only to have Reggie discover that there were little or no assets.

But I could be wrong.
