Nice rig. I used to have a Chapparral built by Wayne Walgrave with a Mark 55H that would knock on the door of 80mph! It would corner at WOT and there wasn’t anything in its class that would touch it. Good old days.
@@RichardSacher Back in the early 80s I restored a Crusader tunnel Hull the deck was only 1/8" plywood. When I was 15 built my first Hydroplane from 3/8" plywood it was 4 x 8ft with 18hp Sea King OB & smoked my buddies speedboat with a 115hp mercury lol
Mod 44's with pipes set up for kilo's have a very hard time doing 100 mph so 60 to 70 mph is about the best these old Mercury 44 cid motors will do @@rodbramsjr8823
Cool.
I actually had of those when I was a kid.
Tricked out with a Short shaft V4 50 Sea Horse.
It was a solid 55 mph boat.
Back in the 80s I had a 10' shovel nose Sid Craft with a 30H... gawd that boat was fun!
Awesome, I hope someone enjoyed rebuilding that as much as rippin it!
Thanks for sharing this video that’s cool!
nice! so good in the glass
Beautiful lake
I didn't need to see this, now I want one!
If you get one you will have a blast

Damn
What make of boat is that?
That wouldn't be a Glenn-L hull would it?
No it is not Glen L
holy gawd wat acceleration!
What year is the engine?
1959 Mark 58A all the Mark "A" motors are 1959 it was Mercury's 20th Anniversary
Was a MARK 58A 60hp?
The 58A was a 50 hp motor
& then a jetski flys by..
not many
I want to see him tow a skier.
2 people are allergic to water
Imagine 7 or 8 extra MPH without chubby Rick as driver
How fast?
Did 60 mph on this hydro, running at 66.3 mph on the hydro I now run. It can go faster.
Need a ikeffer vintage race mercury, would do 100 easily
