This is a Relatively new build of a1953 Vintage Clark Craft hydroplane design hull with a low hr 2011 Seadoo 4-tech 255hpsupercharged inter-cooled 4 cycle inboard.
It has been fitted with direct driveprop as most are, using a Detroit clutch & gear specially designed, manufactured,and high speed balanced PTO coupling. The drive shaft is high tensile stainless,with a billet 3 blade bronze prop designed and machine by the manufacturer ofunlimited hydros.
Its approx. 17ft OAL wood hull assembledwith resorcinol epoxy and stainless screws. The entire boat is covered infiberglass fabric and resin. Polyurethane single part marine paint was used fortrim colors and UV tolerant urethane on wood areas.
The exhaust elbow is a customfabricated double wall stainless tube ,water cooled. The outlet pipe is waterinjected.
There is a closed loop coolantengine cooling system as originally made by Seadoo. A raw water pickup and heatex-changer is under the rear cowl and flows thru the exhaust manifold on theengine, and super charger inter-cooler.
The fuel tank , engine mountbrackets, component brackets, and throttle pedal are fabricated from aluminum.
This boat took many years to createand completed last year, test run only at home using a water supply. Allfunctions worked properly. It has never been place in the water.
The included trailer was modifiedfor this hull and proper axle position C.G. I towed from Michigan to FL withoutissue.
I am the creator and builder of thisvery unique craft but have decided to for go actually running it. I havepainstakingly created every part of this boat and many 2 or 3 times to achievethe best and most reliable solutions.
Its estimated to achieve 80-90 mphdepending on final tuning and prop adjustments.
Again this has only been tested witha water supply and sold as experimental.
I have a couple of running videosthat I may be able to email. I pumped out all the fuel and fogged the cylindersand will only run it again after receiving a partial or full payment. I willtake as much time with the buyer at pick up to relay as much info as possible.I have lots of photos from the first bulkhead assembles thru to completion.including many of the builds I discarded and remade. Ask me anything prior tocommitting to buy.
Sold as is for obvious reasons.
