can anyone tell me what the difference between a drag hydro and a ski hydro? Is it just the steering or more than that? thanks......

Completely different everything; hull layup (weight), sponson size and position, rigging, center of gravity, type of underwater gear (strut, rudder, prop, fins), hull section much larger on a ski version and add to that, the way they run, a full on drag hydro runs on the sponsons (sometimes one) and the prop, whereas the ski version is pretty lazy in comparison, more like a tunnel hull...

so after waching river rats II about a dozen times .....i picked up the hydro. it was a fair deal to me. i will post some pic's when i get a chance. it is in need of some work but nothing a little time and effort can't solve. thank you v-drive video, now i have another project i can't wait to start on after my future x wife try's to kill me...
-
here is the before pic's, it will probably will be a long time until i get after pic's...

Cool project !! Did it come with any hardware or is it just a bare hull ?
If you set that thing up right, your " bro's flatty " is in big trouble. ;)
-
i love the lines of that hull
-
i traded the bare apache hull for this as it sits. the guy has all the riging just no engine. as soon as i get some cash i will pick up the parts.
-
Did you get that from Joe?

silver wrx.. i was passing by your friends house and he was outside sanding on his hondo so i stoped and talked to him to see if he wanted to sell it. he said no but he told me where to find this at jp.. i asked him if he was on socaljetboats he said no but said he knows you.

off of pepper , we are going to be moving to alpine in a couple of weeks. what about you?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but how the hell do you get that on and off the trailer? I'd always be paranoid about getting the hull snagged on the fender wells. Sweet hull though bro!

thanks, i picked up most of the parts for this thing, some of them are in bad shape and will be replaced. unfortunately work is really bad right now so this isn't getting much attention. it WON'T be for sale anytime soon though... i was told this was on the cover of hot boat back in the day, sure would be cool to find the issue
