I finally got a Bullet Boat
Well I finally found one. I got a text from my friend at 6:30 this morning. "Sorry for the text so early but it can't wait. There is a Bullet Boat for sale on craigslist and it won't last". So I went right to the laptop and found the listing. It was only in the next town over. So I responded. By lunch I had a response with an address. So I left work a little early and went to check it out. It is in great shape. All original unmolested condition. It is completely empty just begging for a big motor to go racing.
  I already have a 70 Yamaha for it. I'm going to try and get it ready for next summer to race it. My wife is already looking into adding more life insurance on me.

Looks like a fun project! Had a little hydroplane when I was a kid.

16' ? I think it would hold a 90 Yamaha 2-stroke just fine.. 70 maybe.

It was for sale for 550 but I got it for 425. I plan on racing it next summer with a local club that races speed skiffs, garveys, hydros, and these things. It is a 13 footer and the 70 should push it around 55 or so. I had a 90 Yammie on the last one I owned and that did 61. I plan on opening up the boat and adding stringers and bulkheads to strengthen it up. Then make the transom 20". Then rig it and go racing.
