Here's what I found so far.

Aqua Loop built in Canada, 1972-1973, only 800 made, pulled from sales because considered to dangerous with the prop exposed. Usually used a 20 hp outboard.

Some nick named it "The Blender" (Hey! Let's be careful out there.)

I will send more if I can find anything else.

Hey John, that boat/water craft will be flippin awesome when finished. I grew up and live in Canada where they were built, I remember there were a number of them on the lakes when I was young and we were on family vacations. We would have given our left arm to have one of those, they were the coolest thing ever at the time, and now again !!!!!...Brad Lake
