Just received a set of plans to build a Clark Craft 11' Hydroplane and thought I would post some info about it for any one interested.
The Hydroplane calls for a 1800cc motor and reaches speeds into the 90's, Acording to the publication.
The plans came with three full size patterns, a building guide, and some instructions.
I have figured out some costs and could build the boat for around 2 to 3 Thousand dollars depending on the motor and hardware, Hell I have spent almost the same on some of my other RC Needs !!! So something like this is very interesting to me right now.
There are still classes for racing hulls like this but I am not sure I would want to race anything any more after running Solo 1,2, and 3, IMCA Stock cars and 125cc Shifters.
And the prop kind of scares me !!!
On the other hand there are some really kewl jet boats that are 11' long and use a jetski as a doner for the motor and pump
