Boat Seats Buckets
Year? Model? Boat speed? I've never seen anyone like him .. please help?
National Marine Const. Co. … 8 feet long x 4 feet wide. Rated for a 10 hp outboard, you sit in the bucket seat and strattle the wheel with his feet on deck …. I'd love to know more about him. http://s728.photobucket.com/albums/ww283/Troublefree/?action=view¤t=boat003. jpg http://s728.photobucket.com/albums/ww283/Troublefree/?action=view¤t=boat004.jpg Thanks Joey! after looking at what you said I thought it was most likely built in the 50s. It's all fiberglass and I think he had a 10 hp engine with a fuel tank of 5 gallons under the front hood. I took it for a couple hours and is a blast, but he is back in the garage for a larger engine and a smooth paint job. I just wish I could stretch a little. It definatley was'nt done with a 6'3 guy in mind !……….. Anyway, thanks again for the help.
TCTC, this baby is old. His boat seems to be a seaplane flat bottom, and they were fast, even with small engines! The power is in the boat telling me that for most children, and not was serious racing. (Children of luck!) Your boat probably would have been considered a Class A racer, it would have been gone. This outboard is old Johnson too. You can find out what year we're going to this site and that the engine serial number ready. Then your serial number and you have your model year. It will help if you know the engines. Http: / / # www.marineengine.com/manuals/johnson/ j10hp HP I have never heard of the National Marine Const. But the time hydrofoils and earlier were routinely built in garages and people were relatively simple to build wood, but yours looks like fiberglass? Here's a drawing from a "Cab-Over Hydro" http://www.svensons.com/boat/?f=HydroPlanes/CabOver/cabovr_A.jpg If you are interested in seeing the plans are here website: http://www.svensons.com/boat/?p=HydroPlanes/CabOver This boat and plans were printed in the 1965 edition of "Popular Mechanics".
