Yeah, that canopy is the deal! I am starting to think I may have the only one with that canopy as I have been told there are only around 10 of the normal version. I have one of those ten and this other one. Whoever had that hull before me obviously didn't know what they had and really fouled it up. I will restore it to original soon enough tho.

Send me an email to [email protected] or [email protected] and lets discuss that 357 hull. I have wanted one for a while, but would like some details like overall length of it. Thanks, Mike

Finished making a Starcraft CPS-20 from my molds this weekend. I still have to make a windshield, add the radio box, make seats, etc, but the hull itself turned out really nice. Cut out the graphics last night. The flake color is called Ice Blue, and its a little lighter in person. The flash makes it look a bit off, but its pretty sweet in person. While the brochure said International Hobbies offered this hull in white, red and blue, I have yet to see, or hear anyone say they had one in blue, so I am just not sure it ever happened. None the less, I had to have one in my stable! I am going to put an Evinrude XP150 on this one. Mike

This probably represents the real color a little closer.

Looks good!

Got the correct cowl for my old style short shaft GT150

Restored the lower unit for a long shaft GT150:




And got this nice original XP150 lower unit for my cowling:

Default Wellcraft Ex Caliber Catamaran

Hello Everyone!

Im new to the site.

I just picked up this AMPs Wellcraft Ex-Caliber Catamaran from Ebay.

It has an AMPS power trim unit installed.

Was previously set up as an outboard, but didn't come with one attached.

I have an 11 CC K&B outboard (on far left of motor pic) that I plan to run until I can get my hands on an AMPs outboard.

Just an update on the last months happenings, haha. I picked up another Seebold off ebay, this one is brand new. It was originally listed with a GT3.6 Johnson, and I lost that auction, but the buyer, kept the trailer and GT3.6, and relisted the hull, so I lucked out. I am going to do it up in the Brian Daley Yamaha scheme, as it was the only F1 Yamaha hull to run, and just happend to be a Seebold. I already did a custom 200hp Yamaha cowling for it. Also laid up a Starcraft cps-20 in blue metallic. I mounted my XP150 Evinrude on it so it would look like the old full size brochure photo we have probably seen floating around the net. And a couple days ago, I found a brand new Molinari hull. I am going to paint it up like the Martini hull since my other one is already done as the Nordica. Enjoy! Happy hunting! Mike

Seebold and Yamaha:
