Westski

I saw this Westski video a while ago and I just laugh everytime I see and hear it. The thing is running a 350 Chevy.

WOW, That thing sounds pretty good, And it also looks like it is balanced out pretty good with that engine in it, Runs flat.

Do either of you guys remember the very early SeaDoo's that weren't jet powered and instead were outboard powered?

One family on our lake, had a old 1960's JohnnyRude 40 on theirs.

Crazy stuff!

For some reason I want to say yes I have seen something weird like that before running around.

 

[Chris]

I did some surfin and couldn't find anything on those. I know they exist and I've seen more than one around.

Hopefully I'll come across one, or find the proper name for them.

That does sound funny

A guy had one on are lake also, it was old but he had a newer 30 Yamaha on it. I can't remember what they were called either.

There was also a guy that had a thing that kind of looked like a surf board with a seadoo engine in it, I think it was called a ski pal or jet pal, it had a ski rope hooked to it that had controls on it so you could go skiing by yourself, you ever see one of those? I think it was made in the early 90's if I remember right.

Well the one that had the 40 on it, was sorta like a jetski design, but it had a outboard on it instead. It also had the outboard controls as well, for obvious reasons. I think it was made of glass. I recall it being yellow.

AT the TIBS last year, there were some really wild things.

This guy had a pretty neat mini-cat thingy that had a small outboard on the back. It was called a CraigCat.

Here you go Chris 1961 Hydro-Cycle

 

[Chris]

Ah Ha! Thanks J.

The one that our lake neighbor had, wasn't the exact same, but that was the basic idea of what they had. I remember it being yellow actually.

Where did you get those pics? Mind if I load 'em up in the gallery?

Here's a link to a eBay advertisement I found.

If you look, one of the pics in the ad has a JohnyRude 40 on it.

That was the setup that the neighbor on our lake had.

I've discovered, that apparantly there is another similar model called a "Aqua Loop" as well.
