Flying Bayliner!

[SnappingTurtle]

If god had meant for 24' Bayliners to fly , he would have given them wings.

Well he didn't, so Harry Larsen did.

Check out his hydrofoil “in action” video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w54-OEWulDE&feature

P.S. Sorry wake boarders, no wake!

That's one way to keep water out of a Bayliner.

Re: Flying Bayliner!

that's awesome...do you think he had to modify the outdrive to keep the prop in the water? never got a good look at the stern.....

He had to do something I'm sure. The boat is lifting 1ft out of the water. I looked at the vid a couple of times, but it is hard/impossible to see just how he set the propulsion unit up.

Re: Flying Bayliner!

The video really SHOULD have done without the cheezy music, but that is pretty cool... even if it is a bayliner.

The magic 8ball says "YES" definitely modified.
