- Interview with Richard Hoffman. The Addictor boat, a small fun versatile boat, when you pour on the throttle and get her out of the water the hoffman formula for fun kicks in, "The airtime, kills the pain the and gives you the thrill time".

This is my first time seeing this video! This is my Grandpa!!!
When did this company go out of business?
Is rick your dad ? tell him watch out for those whales popping up and lifting the boat up lol
awesome!
I't looks like the boat is really smooth with the landings. have you driven one before?
aidsjah I own 2 of them
ive lived and worked around boats all my life , ive never seen a boat that looks more fun than this
I Drive i5 in 1985 crown valley exit stop addictor boats walked in love at first sight bought a two seater 25 hp outboard and meet richard hoffman, his son Rick Hoffman and Another Guy who raced for addictor LUCKY The video of that yellow three seater was richards baby "The Quarter Pounder" he called it. They took me under there wing and with that richard showed me how the boat was designed for the ocean not for lake chop. Because of the high flying you can travel on a rough ocean 4 to 12 foot swells it doesn't matter as long as you keep moving your good. Hit the swell up up in the air and land going down hill on the back side of the swell and up the next one. eventually with the help of tequila i mastered the art of addictor air time and became the first addictor stunt boat driver. Did shows at long beach harbor festival and took first place in 1986 ocean side harbor days race miss those days im old now had to trade my boat in for a tetor fit spine lol I really miss jumping over the end of san clemente pier on a giant red flag wave day.
Awesome story! I own a 1986 Addictor 190 and run it on Lake Elsinore often. These boats have gained a cult-following in the last 5 years. Please contact me on Facebook, Andrew O'Bannon, and check out my CZcams channel for footage of my beautiful stock 1986 Addictor 190. I would love to hear more about your Addictor experience. Do you have any pictures? czcams.com/video/VoVDUQh6VtI/video.html
I had a blast renting these in the 80's. Was able to tow it with my little Nissan mini truck, no problem.
I recently bought a set of 1984 LE models. They are a blast! Thanks for posting the video.
This thing is awesome. Nice upload!
"The airtime, kills the pain time and gives you the thrill time" I mean if that's not cocaine logic, its at least 80s logic right there
I can't believe you had this video... Awesome!!! I own both 190 and a 245 and I wouldn't trade em for nothing!
Glad to hear it, My brother and I owned Fun Center Inc in Lake Havasu city back in the day. Dick Hoffman was a good buddy. we sold many of those boats as well as renting them under the london bridge. We even had one up in Laughlin over a slot machine that would hit almost every month. My brother and I even pulled a mold off one and did a little streatching and pulling to it. strictly for our rentals. I know everything there is to know about those fun boats. I Still have the mold.

A guy here locally has one for sale 245 w a merc 25 2 stroke, what is a fair price for it?
I found a couple old hulls, need full restoration and motors, think I’m gonna get em, they can race against my Aqua Lark and Barracuda Hydrocycle
This is freakin' cool.
Please leave comments would like to know what you think
That man is stoned out of his mind
This is so cool. I wonder if he's still making them
As far as I know, no longer being made. Regarding Richard, he passed several years ago. He was an amazing man, glad to have known him RIP Richard.
Where could I purchase a reliable used one? They look extremely fun.
Needs more Miami Vice themed music :)
