Bob, I don't have a picture of that boat, and the club no longer exists as far as I know. The only picture of one that I know of is on this site. It is the Aquanuts boat. Those pictures are in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=111&hilit=aquanuts jim
Bob, Here's an old picture of the Club de Skinautique Dyne with twin 150 Black Max's. It also sat very low in the water. In fact, so low that when 3 guys went to the back of the boat to help lift up a Delta wing kite, they sank it!!! Still one of my favorite pics!! Kevin
I have a few questions on how to stand up a boat. First off, do you have to have a special beefy trim pump? If I had my old 115 trimmed up a ways and gave it gas, the force of the propeller would just push the motor back into the water and the boat wouldn't stand up. Is that the way to do something like this or is my motor just not big enough? Our ski team's triple stands up like that with all three motors trimmed out, but when the driver hammers it they don't go automatically trim back down. Why is that? Does it have something to do with bigger motors having more powerful tilt and trim units?
The 17.6 can be tail walked. The prop selection is important when you have only one motor. Gas tank is in the back so keeping it full helps a bunch. Using a 4" by 4" makes it easier to accomplish but I would never suggest it. Your engine still needs water flow to live. The newer style 20' Dyna-Ski is a lot different than the older style design as is the construction techniques are more refined and materials used are much better. All newer boats should have the benefit of better materials. With the newer style 2 motored boats floating much higher the nose is easier to get into the sky and the motors don't ride as low in the water.
