What is this Hydro ?

Gilbert Pun · Mar 21, 2015

I have digged out this FB big boat from the storage after 17 years, it measured at length 52" and 26" wide. repainted it and my friend put a standard 26CC Zenoah on it to try, but it is not rising at al

l.

Can anyone identify this boat ?

What engine suits and what propeller ?

good looking paint job. it looks like an aeromarine sport x hydroplane with turbine cowl.

the optional GP cowl provided a scale appearance.

should have an aeromarine label glassed into bottom inside.

if no label, it's probably one of the copies that were on the market many years ago.

stock zen 260 with a 275 / 2 prop should get it up on plane.

Thanks, Dave, for the info. I'll try 275/2 prop on the next trial.
