RE: seaducer hydroplane
myself,i would go with the seaducer,i heard good things about that boat. the insane is a beautiful boatbut hard to set up,problebly because of it size,it is smaller than most hydro. i have a PI hydro and it is quite bigger than the insane and easier to set up. my freind had a insane and don't get me wrong ,it is a fast boat ,specialy in the straitaway but race trim betwene the 2 , i'd go with the seaducer

I won a lot of races with the Seaducer Hydro. They are fast and handle great. With a full mod motor, you can expect to see speeds in the mid to upper 60s. Just be sure to get the prop Jerry sells for the boat.

Seaducer is a good boat. I heard that they won lots of races with them. The one i have won a race. It's not a hydro but it is in good shape.

Being you are in Cali.... it wouldnt be hard to get a Insane hydro setup right....since Cali IS the home of Insane Boats. Ive seen many Insanes run good, as well as Seaducers. If you get a Ducer, id definetely get mr Juice there to give ya some setup info.... his ducer hydro was wicked fast.

The Whiplash is a great hydro also. They are even faster than the Seaducer. I will be running a Whiplash this year. Blazer Marine sells the kits and there is a fiberglass version being released very soon.

RE: seaducer hydroplane
Yea i think Blazer marine are closed till further notice?,i read it will do over 70 mph with the right motor and setup.what sort of speed would it do with a stock zenoah or does it really need a modded one to perform.Any idea what price these kits cost and what do they consist of? is it just frames and no sheeting as i think id seen some that just had the frames and no skins.Im getting a rocket roundnose hydro and it comes as a complete kit just wondered how these compare as a kit.

The kits come complete with a fiberglass cowl. I would think they would run in the 50-60 mph range with a stock Zen. I believe the kits cost $225 US. You can contact [email protected]
