Here is a picture of an Aquanut triple rig. It is featured on the webpage for Twin Lakes Marine. I assume that it is a Tom Miller boat because I know how long it has been on Twin Lakes' website but I could be wrong. (I E-Mailed Twin Lakes Marine and asked about the boat but got no response). If I am not mistaken Twin Lakes Marine is or was a retailer for PJP Dyna-Ski boats so perhaps it is a Dyna-Ski. If someone knows he or she can set me straight. I just like the picture. I'd like to drive one of these 20' triples so I guess either someone is going to have to generously offer me the opportunity to drive theirs or I'm going to have to eventually spend a whole lot of money for a very tail heavy boat that I don't need. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> (shhh ... My wife does not know this yet).
Yes it does look like a Tom Miller built boat. However I noticed if you go to the dyna-ski website they list that marina as a dealer.
Yep, that boat is a 2001 I believe. Originally had Merc EFI's on it, then trip 2003 225 Opti's, now trip 150 Optis as of this year. Todd Renn does sell the Dyna-Ski recreational boats and the Nuts ran a 20' Open Bow in their show with a 225 Opti this year. One of the best acts at Nationals this year was that boat (20' Open Bow) pulling an 11 yr old girl back barefooter.
They keep calling that boat a '97 Dyna-Ski. It is now pulling Arianna and her younger sister Kailey doing back deep starts! I will try to remember to grab the HIN one of these days.
Hi Hollywood and welcome to the forum. The boats built by Tom Miller in 1997 were called Dyna-Skis. Here is a link to the history page: http://www.hydrodyners.com/history/hin.php jim
So if you want a 20' today built by Tom Miller it will be called "The Dyne". There are still 20' Dyna-Skis though, which are not the same as the 96-05s I gather. There is no information on that history page on the new Dyna-Skis. Who is making them?
Yes, Tom's boats are now called "the Dyne" and carry the FPD identification. I don't know much about the current Dyna-Ski boats except what I read on their site and the posts here. The last time I checked the boats were carrying an "OQV" identification in the serial number. If you look up that MIC, it is "John's Dustom Upholstery" and there is some information about them here. I met John at the nationals last year and I assume he is still building the Dyna-Ski line of boats. jim
It was dark but I did get a peak at the HIN last night, it is a FPD boat but I did not see any 9s or 7s so most likely I'll dig out some 0s and 1s. It has Optimax Pro XS 175s on it this year. I'm not sure on the props but the outside 3 blades are Mirages and the center is a 5 blade. The center motor tachs out at 42 mph. It pulled a 4-3-4 perfectly off the dock last night and 14 barefooters last week. 8) We were also using a single engine open bow Dyna-Ski just a few years ago while Todd was selling them at Twin Lakes Marine.
