Almost looks like a ride at a kiddy
carnival, but guessing with a 15 hp,
NOT for your 5 year old!

Prepare to be boarded!

My 8′ runabout is much closer to the water and 22 hp – I ain’t dead, YET.

Looks like just what Boat Bob and I need! 🙂 JW in Dixie

That’s a modern re-pop of a mid-70s Wooster Hellion. The originals were rated for 10 hp, which was more than enough. There’s lots of videos of them on youtube.

With that snow plow front on it I don’t think you could ever get any real speed out it. It’s as hydrodynamic as a brick.

It depends on how much power you put on it . . . 😆
