Hondo jet hydro

Easy there Steve. I compliment you for sticking it out, although I would have spent my time and money somewhere else. As far as the comment on "a wreck looking for a place to happen", just look at the picture, that pretty much covers that. I'm not your enemy, just stating fact. Good luck and success with yours.

Gary it`s all good here
I`v had the same ride myself so I know what it`s like and how it feels. It`s far from a wreck looking for a place to happen as matter of fact I would rather have a hydro lift then a V Bottom or a tunnel hull. Never heard of a Jet Hydro crashing have ya??????
This one was a bad set up but I still won the race and drove it out the back door

This one I was fender racing and hit the gas hard at 1000 foot to take the win. I had a good set up but as you know when you give a jet boat a shot of HP it tends to lift the nose.

The guy who bought mine spun it out and hit another boat, destroying both of them. He was showing his ass running by his buddies boat pretty much wide open. On his last fly-by, he thought he was a little too close and backed out of the gas thinking he would steer away, and OOOPPPSS. He was banged up pretty good after being ejected from his boat and hitting the other boat, but survived. I think there may have been a six pack and some semi nude ladies involved. I think that happened on Lake Murray near Ardmore, Ok a few years ago. I heard what was left of it had ended up in Kansas or Missouri with intentions of repair, but never heard any more about it.

Maybe I`m just lucky? or maybe I`m good? All I know is that I`v had some pretty good luck with mine and never came close to crashing. :220v: Knock on wood
PS.... you might tell that guy to never lift if you have to turn in a jet boat

Hope you never do !

I have always loved the hull, the brendella is another one that is beautifull to watch.

That was a Sanger Tunnel/Hydro not a Hondo Hydro
Dean Willis held the NDBA Blown Fuel Jet Record in a Sanger Jet Hydro At 133+ MPH in about 1974.Dean went on to build these boats as a Willis Jet Hydro.I don't know what kind of deal he had with Sanger Jack.

[Jet Hydro]

it`s been a few years but Dean told me he had to build some kind of air dam in the tunnels or something to control the air in his race boat. Cant really remember what he said because he told me that his boat was nothing like mine as he took an old tunnel hull he had and made it look like a Hydro. I asked him why he built it that way and he said that only reason was that he knew that the tunnel hull worked and wanted to build something that looked like a Hydro. I had some pictures of a Sanger bottom but cant seem to remember what file they are in. He told me the story on how they became Sanger Hydro`s but I cant remember all of it. Old Timers has set in I guess....lol..
He`s a pretty nice guy and loves to talk boats.
