You are, either one of the most creative and daring repair engineers, or a glutton for punishment. Either way, it's all fun! Thanks for sharing this adventure.
Thanks for the compliment, I think? ha. Hull is coming along and I'm picking up my old race engine this weekend. Stay tuned for an update pretty quick.
I had something similar as a boy, 10 HP Johnson maybe? Didn't have the cool tunnel hull tho, more of a shallow-V type thing. Thanks for the video and the memories. Oh, and wear knee pads - top tip.
@@ADDvanced I actually used 2 coats of fiber glass resin and then a 2 part Marine paint that's at least 20yrs old but seems ok. My father use the West Epoxy building and repairing boats and that's the way go . Seal the wood with a coat and mix epoxy with sawdust to fill any holes then it will be water proof and just use a regular oil based rust pant any color. Coating it with fiber glass resin with paint brush will waterproof the wood the same. Cost me 60 bucks at Walmart Really Epoxy is super strength for building wood parts. Fiber glass will flex Epoxy does not want to. Kinda confusing I know. Lol
That would be a Very Early motor if it had the fuel tank on the cowling. Most if not all 50's racing outboards have a remote fuel tank. I have built several Mini Max's, the Sea Flee is nothing like the MM, the Sea Flee was designed to be built using 2 sheets of plywood and a 10foot long clear1x8. I have built over a dozen of them and powered them with anything from 5hp to 25hp outboards. The MiniMax is a totally different toy.
She seems like a smart one, and I'm not talking about the boat!

Sick bro
Pretty geeked about this! Making a lot of progress this week, update this weekend.
What kind of mount/rack is the boat sitting on? I need one to redo my hydroplane.

@@ADDvanced thank you!
Just finishing up on building one sort of that style. It's a 8 foot 3 point hydroplane. Fast little boats with the right motor
What did you finish the hull with? FG resin? Epoxy? Or what?

I found the plans for this boat jsut a few days ago! Stay tuned for the next update!
Xrp ?
might well be possible that in the old setup the steering wheel was horizonal and stuck through the deck
Yeah, I think the gas tank and pyramid was added later tho. Different construction materials and fasteners.
This is not a MiniMax
Correct, I found out what it is!
