    Here's a couple shots of our 59 Larson Falls Flyer, with 58 V-4 Johnson. Tail lights light up and illluminate the glow poles. Was an outstanding stock racing boat in its day. . .still pretty fast.

    I was just thinking how that little boat must go like stink with that new four stroke clamped to it.

    A heat gun should've long taken care of that violation, though.

    Bringing up an old post, cause I got the fever. EDIT....funny, this thing came up on it's own. I didn't even see it.

    I have a question:

    I don't know squat about boats, how can you hop up a boat?
    Most of the old ones have 40 hp and down. Would the hull take it if you throw a bigger motor on them?

    Most like BellBoys and Skagits will take a bigger outboard, other also depending on length and how thick the transom is. You do have to go to a better steering system other than the clothes line/cable type ................
    Or you can always double your outboards!

    I have a 1957 Herters Duo Foil Flying Fish for sale. It needs to be redone i.e. new gel coat etc.
    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    It has the original motor which also could us a rebuild (haven't used it since the mid-1990's).
    <o:p></o:p>
    This was my dad's project that never quite got off the ground and I do not have the skillset to finish it myself. Message me for more information and pictures

    Thanks! Jessie<o:p></o:p>

    Not a boat but this followed me home today. Scott-Atwater 10HP twin cylinder. 1957 by the model number. Now it has me looking at vintage little hydroplane kits! I really need to sell it before I get hooked on another expensive hobby. lol

    I have had this boat for years now, but I have never found out what it is. It seemes to be a mix of a Glastron Fireflight, a RedFish Shark, and a Lonestar. If anybody knows what it may be, I am at [email protected]. Her name is Truly Gone Fishing. She is prob a 59-61. The main difference from all the other finned boats is this one has boxed fins, on the top, not rounded. Thanks for any replys.. Scott in CO
