mini speedboats?
 

Im looking at mini hawk boats and I was just curious who else on OSO owns mini speed boats under 18FT?? right now I have a 12ft eliminator. Also if you are on FB you can check out me and Cigarettesam mini boat page we plan on doing funruns and other events like that with the boats.

Nice post Brett!! Lets get this thing going! I gotta get that license though!
We will do events in LOTO, and maybe one in NY (i know for sure I can make the NY event), going to get a jackplate tilt trim and 35hp for the Mini Hawk this winter.

My brother has the 140ss and i have the little 10.5ft cat we are both putting Stinger 75 OMC on the boat he is putting a 20" shaft one and i am using the 15" shaft with the nitro gear case.

They are both from the late 80's early 90's. speed wise we have the 75 on the 140ss but we are still working on a prop we have tried 3 so far.

the little cat i have the merc pulled off and i am working on a new power trim unit then i will have to find a good lifeline jacket and some gauges and foot throttle.

I don't know on a prop yet for the cat either.

I'm bias but still...

gotta love that pic of one with tiller arm folded up

Ran the little tunnel with a 30 cleaver last weekend but my GPS screen went out. I turned it to 6200rpm with a 2:1 gear ratio and my slip with a cleaver is usually about 5%. Sucks because it was probably a mid 80's pass and would have been my fastest. Had the camera on. Its in HD of you want to go full screen and there are some killer drag boats in the video:

If you have access to a FB, look up Mini Speedboats, join, add pics- its our group run by myself, and Brett.

Looks like there's supposed to be four pictures of boats but I don't see any in the second picture. :hitit:

I have this 13ft Paradise/ Checkmate playmate completely redone to support bigger power for sale. I had a 225 Mercury Promax on it. Now has a 60hp Merc and is $10K.

If anyone is looking for a mini boat, i got a 13' Mini Hawk excellent condition no motor, new decals, trailer, etc......

3k OBO

Wildman, what did it avtually run with the 225? I have heard a lot of speculation but never any solid numbers. It looked like a handful in the video.

PS. I meant to say hello at Sanford and never caught up with you. Are you going to the Suwanee run next weekend?

I ran it 83 on GPS, but I had to trim it completely under. I only had single cable steering and it was crazy over 75 mph. Ran great at 60-70! It would probably run good with better steering and a pad bottom. That motor ran 101 on an 18ft Liberator. I just put the motor on because everyone said I would'nt do it. I had someone once ask at a gas station while gasing it up if the motor was on there as a joke. I just said that I would'nt be gasing it up if it was a joke. I may put a new 300xs on it this winter just for kicks. I saw your 13ft cat running and was very impressed!

Anyone know anything about the 11' Sea Sprite and how it would run with a 25 HP outboard?

1/3 scale of the real Top Gun
I had this one that I completely redid to match my gun a few years back. It had a 60HP on the back and was stupid fast...lol

I love the name !!!!!! I just finished a resto project on a Donzi GT21 for my daughter. We named it Typhoon Lite.
