I saw one of these on a boat lift on McQueeney a couple of years ago.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

what cracks me up is the marketing for these boats...who in their right mind would want a boat that couldn't stay in the water and was alway flying up in the air ?...just don't seem safe...LOL

My Dad had the UMC tacklebox in this picture. He passed in 2003 and it's been sitting in moms garage since then. I haven't touched it or taken anything out of it. It's filled with lures from the 1940's thru the 1990's. I gasp at what it might be worth today.

If I remember correctly some of the Hydra Sports Kevlar hulls were called Armour Hyde BASS mag had adds for them in the 80s and yes said they were bullet proof and passed the 45 test, Ranger also made and sold many boats with I/O s ( Mercruiser, stern drives, great post Huck..
When in doubt set the hook..Retie often

Thought that Skeeter Wrangler was a Champion at first looking at the transom , those hulls were very fast and squirrely and scared many tourney non boaters I drew hot rod johnson once it was a wild ride specaly at blast off.

I loved the advertisement for Hydra Sports with the Kevlar Hull. So strong you could shoot a 45 at it. Until someone did.....Then called up Earl Benz to make good on the warranty. I recall seeing a Hydra-Sports ad pic that showed the boat upside down on the ground with a bulldozer driving over the top of it demonstrating the toughness of the Kevlar hull.
