A hydraulic trim will allow you to adjust the boat and get a good ride at a variety of speeds where fixed motors only run well in a narrow speed band. Three point hydroplanes were developed after Ventnor Boat Works patented their idea of attaching water skis to the outside of the conventional hull to plane the bottom of the hull off the water.

Last years Gold Cup saw speeds almost twice as great. Youll find instructions demonstrations and hands-on learning at all the adult workshops but materials will not be provided. Home Depot also offers adult workshops for projects such as installing toilets ceiling fans and tile flooring as well as how to build a storage caddy.

Bomb in the bow. This patented compact design utilizes lightweight construction minimizing engine power to drive the chargersturbo impeller. A tunnel hull design that is easy to build no prop shaft or universal joints to buy - a great project if you have little time to spare.

The outer hull is made from okoume marine-grade plywood and the inner supports are eastern white cedar with holes cut in them to make the boat as light as possible and still maintain strength. This precision impeller is enclosed in a billet machined and polished.
