SeaFire speed boat

JCRAFT · 05-04-2008, 09:45 PM

Has anybody ever had or know anything about SeaFire boats? I aquired an 11' little speed boat last fall and was wondering how it will perform with a 25hp Johnyrude.

Sounds kewl.

Never heard of one myself.

Do you have any pics of it?

I'm sure Coop would like to see it too.

I have recently bought an 11' seafire speed boat, it came with a 55hp engine which i think may be too pwerful! they dont seem to be very popular.. as ive been looking for some ideas for its restoration and could not find many pictures!! have you tried a 25hp engine on yours?

Welcome to the forums friel.

It sounds like it would go being 11' long and having a 55 on it!

we go to races that are old school but they look like baby hydros with 2 cylinder little motors. thats what my motor man was into before he go the grinding machine. my friend told me today that he had never heard a motor that sounded like mine. little does he know, hes going hear 2 when the wind blows

aint heard about it, but we got a little boat just like a tunnel thats 15' and it has a 3" jackplate, and its in einsteins backyard, and he only builds 200s. im scared death he might want me drive it, especially if he puts a 75 on it, hahaha

its late, im tired, but aint no fool. us folks love what your saying, and have already been there. ill bet anything $ that einstein has the first mercury motor ever made. he wont even tell me what hes putting on my boat. i wanted a 200 and got a 75. its only embarassing pulling it to the creek. god bless ya
