1958 Hydro-Cycle Way overpriced for me but pretty cool piece of history.

My 96 seadoo has 100 hp jet and the older ones have 55 hp jets. The power isn't that high but the sheer size of that thing......!!

Um, yeah, those don't have open props. And the motor's down low in the hull, not above the hull 100% off the back

For something that was likely designed for 10 HP and 25 lbs that is only a 500% increase so no worries! YOLO!!!

1957 Yellow Jacket pictured on bills site...

Looks like the same hull restored. I think he might be on crack with his asking price.I do not think there is a big market for those as unique as they are.500-1000 max I would think would be a reasonable price for that.

Actually that is a pic of a 1961 Hydro-Cycle. The Yellow Jacket description is for the boat pictured above.

Not the first PWC, before the Hydro-Cycle there was the Flying Flivver in fiberglass or wood and also a slew of other crazy sled-type wood boats.

I know the Flying Fliwer is single/personal use but it still looks a lot like a "boat".
