Any other old advanced hulls like those that might be a good choice? H.P rating isn't really an issue but I'd like to put my old 90 Johnrude on it. I've got some great props for it.

There were many hydro boats around that time, but if I were to pick one, I would try to find a hydro scott. Sometimes they were called scott hydros.

It's located in central Mo. Could easily end up in Illinois! yahoo maps shows you to be 300 miles from me, some shuttling/delivery might be arranged.

It was made by Reid Marine, Ft.Walton Beach Fl in 73. They went out of business not long after.

150 hp sounds a bit high to me, but what the heck, I put a speedi four (33 hp antique) on an 8' fliver, so why not?

It's 17', needs paint and clean up. Not sure about the floor. Didn't seem rotted, but I didn't check it real close.

I basically bought it to save it from the landfill.

Thanks for the info on the Hydro Scott. I've always liked them, but thought they were so rare that I'd never find one. If I found one that was close enough and reasonable, I'd snatch it up in a minute. I like the boat by Reid Marine. It looks like a mix of Checkmate, Baha, and early Chrysler Conqueror. I'm just looking for something older and with a short transom

Interested in the Reid Marine.

I know I'm new here, I am primarily a Glastron/ Carlson fan, but love the look of this boat, and would like to help prevent it from being slaughtered. please send me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
