Crazy ! Thanks !
All that exposed induction to all that water is not so smart. Piston tops probably clean ! And rods a little bent lol

Yeah, how does that not hydrolock with all that water washing over it? I kind of thought the white boat was trying to take him out when he passed.

I’d guess Australia for the top video.

Forget what they call them……, Skiffs maybe??

My hero Ken Warby raced one and a mutual friend bought one to rave w/him.

They did an exhibition race one time where our 7 liter Grand National Hydro guys went over to race w/them and got beat!

If you want some more way cool full zoot crazy race boat videos, search “Australian Ski Racing”.

Similar boats pulling water skiers!

This one is kinda cool but can’t figure out how to link to it??

My first serious hot rod ski boat.

Complete restoration including recoring the bottom and built a 225 JohnRude.

Target was mid one teens but it kicked my ass for a yr just breaking a 100.

The video is of it during a Fla visit from frozen Ohio!

The pass before the 101 it ran 99.9!

I was ready to set it on fire!

Was a fun boat and humbled a bunch of high dollar rigs.
