WOW. Cool boat. THAT would be an interesting project.

Very cool boat, but I don't think the trailer would make it out of the driveway.

Bidding was up to $5000 .. Wow could that really be worth that much ? Doesnt look like it would be fun getting it into your average boat landing ..Wonder how much water it has to be in so as not to rip the Foils off ?

Man you'd have to back that trailer deep launching it to get the boat to float above the bunks

Prior member readers will remember this old thread www.fiberglassics.com/glassic-forums/2-main-forum/18939-someone-should-rescue-this-one.html#18939 about the VOLGA hydrofoil gift / connection to Fla Biscayne Bay Pres Nixon & Bee -Bee rebozo , Henry Kissinger, etc..

Maybe this was one of the secret service chase / support boats. !!

The only way I see you could launch it at a ramp wold be with a custom hydraulic trailer. I would think $5000 would be cheap. given what it would be worth restored. Not a lot of those around.

I should e-mail my client in Houston and tell him that is the fee for my next job........
