73 hondo jet project
« on: March 17, 2015, 08:56:01 PM »
Ok so I picked up a hull and am getting it all prepped for pump and motor to go in. And I thought I was going to just throw a place diverter on it. Then I was thinking a shoe, and ride plate. With possibly a droop or straight snoot. And the intake has a full set back and is currently removed.But looking for input. The setup I have is a jacuzzi pump. With American turbine conversion. And a BBF. 

Pics are before inside prep and pump set back.

And if anyone has a similar hondo I would love to see some pics.

Nice. I love it. Been a t deck fan ever since I got into boats. Not sure why more people don't like them....

I will let you know. We're close to getting her running. I want to take it out a few times. But we will end up selling it at some point. We don't need 3 boats. Lol

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I'm working on a 73 Hondo myself. Yours is the first one that I've seen like mine that has the straight dash and isn't a T-deck. This one is a project and a half. I've replaced practically every piece of wood on this thing. Stringers, dash, transom.. I laid balsa on the floor and I think its going to look real nice if I ever get it finished. I'm ditching the Jacuzzi for a set back Berkeley 12JC and power will be a 5.3L LS with a 76mm turbo. Anyways here's a few pics and I'll be following this thread closely. -Ben

Right on. That looks good. And yes I have not come across any others with straight dash.

Yes the hull shape is bad ass. I had a 71 tahiti that weighed 3 times as much and had I huge hook, but I definitely like the look of the rolled back.

From what I can see there is no delta pad on these hulls. They are described as semi-v bottoms in an old Hondo ad I found. I'm really wondering about the performance of these bottoms. Like how well they load the pump and what the shut down is like. I hope some one with experience sees this and chimes in. Like I said I've found very little info about these hulls.

Very Very nice hulls. Same as the Cole Firestar. They are considered the original gull wing design and some did have delta pads.

Here's some interesting information I found if you read through the whole post. Seems that the bottom design can perform quite well.
