Notta Sheyadda… but close.. mini schiada 12’erish…

This is JMHO, and not intended to step on any baller's toes.... but I would stick with a tandem trailer. I think the triples look a little bit silly under the minis.

Put a triple under a badass 19' or a double-throwdown 21RC?? Absolutely!! But not under a mini. Just put together a clean tandem trailer, and keep it classy. No need to go overboard with this one.

If you do it to scale you can’t really tell the difference.

I tend to agree if I can’t find rims under 13” that look good. I think some nice 8” rims with wide low profile tires would look pretty cool.

It’s pretty damn small back there… but a real motor instead of an egg beater would be so much cooler.

Yea a flat 4 would probably fit under the hatch.

500hp out of a Subi in one of these would be ludicrous!!

Wouldn’t something like a Harley motor be easier to fit?

 

[MeCasa16]

How small of motor could you build and still make 100-150 hp? Test still keep it light enough as well. I tried googling such a motor and didn’t come up with much.

Nothing against Harley but I'd go Hayabusa if you wanted to do a motorcycle engine. Turbo kits available etc.

VW Anything over 2000cc would get you there. I don't know anything about Subaru's but have friends that spent way to much on them.

 

[dread Pirate]

Hayabusa engines are available all day long. 200hp on pump gas and rev to the moon. Would sound badass!!!

We have a Busa in a dragster and that's a fun ride..

I would think it would take a LOT more money to build a reliable 2 liter VW that still won't generate as much HP as a stock Subi motor. You can buy complete motors off Craigslist for less than $700, depending on size and whether or not a turbo is included.

Could you take a newer turbo jet ski set up and get it to fit? To much v for the pump intake?

 

[NicPaus]

Problem with a 300+ hp supercharged ski engine is then it would be a jet. But it would be Sweeet.

That mini I was looking at needs more work than I thought after checking it out closely. Better of buying a new Schiada mini. New Out boards are so pricey. Could just buy a new ski and make it a donor. Yamaha 1.8 L.

Has @ChrisV started on your trailer yet???

Regardless of which powerplant you go with, setting that beautiful hull on a proper trailer will definitely set it off! MeCasa, I responded on your trailer posting about smaller wheels, and added a link. Check it out whenever you're bored.

V-Drive Tiny Might

V-Drive Tiny Might I was still at Berkeley High School in 1961 when I selected the Glen-L Tiny Might plans. I was broke but craved fast boats. I remember reading that the engine transmission weight limit was 300 pounds but I didn’t want to use the recommended Ford flathead V8. Buick and...

This dude built a 12’ V drive! I wish I could find more info. Not a fan of the editor though. The recommended note at the bottom has serious Karen vibes..

View attachment 1310287

I’ve been really considering the Merc motors. It’s more money, but the weight is substantial too. I’m not totally sure the weight will work without moving the gas and batteries forward. I probably need to find someone in Havasu who is a lot smarter than me. That shouldn’t be hard . The 60R is 268 lbs and is $10k. The formula race 60 is 247 lbs. I’m not totally sure it’s as easy to get, and it also has no warranty. Also priced around $10k. Pro boats has them both listed for $9k, but I seem to have a hard time getting them to call me back as well.

With the tohatsu 50 on the back of this boat, it isn’t breaking any speed records. Nor do I really want to. I am not trying to race this thing, it’s just a lot of fun to drive. The tohatsu is a great motor and was bought brand new for this boat in 2017 or 18, but it’s looks just don’t do this boat justice. For how much work (and money$$) was put into this gel, it deserves a beautiful power train to match..

This, the engine is about 195lbs +/-5lbs and 190hp. About the same weight as the 60 Suzuki but just short of 2.5 times the hp.

What to do with the transmission? Lock it in high gear with direct drive? Clutch of some sort?

Everything I’m reading says the Busa motors don’t make enough torque for a marine application. I’ve seen busa motors in sand cars though so I’m kind of surprised by that.

Kustom build an arneson type drive.

It's fun spending someone else's money

To be honest It's entirely possible but one hell of a rabbit hole and a lot of engineering and machining. If you had the knowledge and equipment it would definitely be a fun project but to source it out wouldn't be beneficial unless you have Elon FU money

On a 12 ft that would be legit. It would probably need decent Cav plates like the 60hp ones Schiada has built.

Pretty sure Schiada has gotten theirs over 60mph at Lake Naci.
